question about multi sim

[lemonrae]

What's the difference between multi sim and normal sim? What are the disadvantages of having multi sim? I have mobile and tab. Both uses different plan that means I have to pay for 2 bills. Multisim is connected is it? *confused

it is to allow tablet to share the data of hp plan. it makes sense last time bcoz hp plan comes with high data. Eg. 12gb. now the hp plan usually comes with 2-3 gb of data n these r usually jz enuf for hp, so no longer enuf for usage on tablet.

Hi lemonrae,

Multi-SIM has different usage depending on your need.

For example - You have a Samsung S4 for your normal work day and a Nokia 3310 when you are in the army/overseas and you don't want to carry an expensive phone.

Instead of switching the SIM cards around that may potentially damage the SIM's chip, you can have 2 SIM cards in both the phones.

At any one time, only 1 phone is active (receive calls, SMS, whatsapp) and after keying a command into the S4 (varies from telco), it will divert the receiving to the Nokia phone.

But both the phones can be used to send outgoing messages and calls.

Like what Yo2020 mentioned, it was used to share the data bundle with another tablet device when it was still 12GB instead of signing up for mobile broadband.

You can refer to your telco for the charges and how they will sell you "multi-SIM" =)

whatsapp need to re-certify when you switch multisim to #1 or #2 so the whatsapp msg will go to only the phone with multisim selected as #1 at that point in time
