Hi, Has anybody experience of a dual sim mobile? I don't need one with all the bells and whistles. I really don't want a made in China POS! just a decent phone that is not network locked.Thanks in advance

Almost all mobiles available on sale are made in China.

For me if it's a smartphone you want I'd go with the Motorolla G4, around €190

For cheap as chips, this for around €30...

I have Motorola moto g 2nd gen with dual SIM very good phone a lot more out there now. But I have it 2 years paid 180 on amazon. I think all dual Sims are unlocked for any network. Motorola have .Co.uk site and the Moto g4 or g4 plus are good plus has finger print reader better camera and turbo charger. You can use PayPal and parcel motel on Motorola site. Discount codes available a lot try hotukdeals website for some of the latest. The one that gets £10 off is ukwelcome10 I think. There can often be others like £30 off with also work stacked for £40 off.

Phones sold in shops here are sold by networks. Dual sim means dual network means no loyalty. Networks dont want that so....

Most of the bush phones in Argos are dual SIM, had one for nearly year while I worked abroad and couldn't fault it.

Just to add to the mix - I have an Alcatel Dual SIM phone - can't fault it really.

We have places that sell more than one network so why don't they do them?

A few.

Carphone Warehouse: Want you on ID
Apple Resellers: Dual Sim will come to the iPhone 9 and be "Revolutionary"
Argos: Sell a couple
Curries/PCW/HN/Dixons - Might? Try to avoid the lot of them.

If you're getting a dual SIM, try to get one where the second SIM slot supports 3G, many are 2G only which can be a nightmare.

Or double 4G
