cheap dual sim

snaps

Currently I am carrying 3 phones around (I've moved abroad, so have my 2 old Irish ones and a polish one). Came across these cheap Chinese dual sim phones. Seem to get good reviews. Any people here used anything like these?

Their is some good dual sim options around now. It just depends where if you want both active at the same, most just have one sim active at a time and you choose which one in the phone settings. You dont have to physically move the sim cards.

A nokia option with 3g launching shortly, 503 dual :> http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/asha503-dual-sim/

Really basic (Not 3g) option the 108:> http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/108-dual-sim/specifications/

Depends how cheap you want it, if you dont like the Asha software, this is similar features with android os:> http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smartphone/GT-S7562UWAINU?subsubtype=android-mobiles

Both sims would need to be active at the same time

When you make or receive a call on one sim, the other will go to voicemail, is that ok?

When not using the phone, both sim would be able to receive a call.

I have a Wiko Stairway and both SIMs can be active at the same time, although I ony use one SIM in it mostly. I can't fault my Wiko. Check out the Wiko phones on amazon.fr and the reviews. Might be something in your price range.

yes, I came across them somewhere and that's what made me think. I don't mind spending 150€ish on one, look as they are useable?

the 512 ram and screen size is not enough. Those Sony phones suffer from awful lag. I'm still keen on taking one of these Chinese phones, its a gamble.

Well you could get its bigger brother http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Smartphone-Touchscreen-Dual-Core-Megapixel/dp/B00F39Q3LS, but the Chinese models would probably be a good deal cheaper.

Yeah for around €150 you'd get a fairly reasonable one. They all have good reviews and the Peax 2 is €165 plus €10 del. here. Guess they'd ship to Poland and it'll cost the same. I spent a bit more for the gorilla glass and larger screen size of the Stairway. The reason I didn't buy a Chinese branded one was the hassle it could have getting here. The Wiko has 2 yrs warranty and initial return (30 days or so) via Amazon easily enough so at least there's some come back if it breaks.

peax 2? From amazon.fr? I'm nervous buying from Asia. I came across a thread in the android section about Chinese phones.
