Dual-number SIM & Nokia N8

Hi
I'm interested with Nokia N8 but would like to know if it's compatible with a dual-number SIM (optus).  Currently I use E90 with a dual-number SIM and in the menu it comes up with options to change from number 1 or 2 or vice versa (obviously only one number can be used at any given time) without turning it off and on and entering specific pin or specific mobile number.
I tried N900 and the dual-number SIM menu options do not appear so does anyone know if N8 (being Symbian3) will have this dual number menu option ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I've never tried the Dual SIM option on a 6300 but have had success with the following step-by-step guide with other handsets. Is there any point during this process where you have the difficulty?
1. Select Vodafone Menu from the
main menu and then select Dual
Line+. Note that the Vodafone
Menu is not always the top-level
one – see your mobile’s User
Guide for details.
2. The menu displays the line you
can swap to: Work, Home, Work +
Home or Home + Work.
3. A message confirms the option
you have selected. You can
switch off this message by
selecting Dual Line+, Options,
Quick Text.
4. Press OK. The display shows
Preparing, then depending on
the mobile, a range of messages
may be displayed, and then
the main screen.
5. To swap back, repeat the
above steps selecting a
different menu option.
Regarding the brightness setting, I don't have access to a 6300 at the moment - maybe somebody else can help with some information on that one?
cheers

    Friends and community nokia
    I have some questions?
    what is the meaning of automatic switching bands?
    when a phone have dual sim card and automatic switching bands can receive calls of the two operators?
    how is the nokia phone recomended  for you that have dual sim card?

    i do this question because in my country we have three operators of mobile 
    thanks  for your help 

    Dual band supports GSM and 3g frequencies. GSM has a broad coverage while 3g supports faster downloads (HSDPA) but is not available in all areas. This has nothing to do with dual SIM.  There are special dual SIM adapters for e.g. E71

  • When will Nokia deliver a dual 3G SIM Phone

    As a regular traveller (Belgium/UK) I have to swap SIMs to enable local service providers. This is crazy unless I want the phone service provider to charge me. If Samsung can offer dual SIM 3G why not Nokia - my preference. Please dont make me go to Samsung! Just make the new Nokia N/E series all dual SIM that would be great- thanks

    And it would also greatly increase the price for the vast majority of users that don't need dual sim capability.
    Also have you seen how ugly and basic the other dual sim phones have been? You get the feature at the cost of function.
    Have you considered buying a dual sim adapter for your phone? Or do you need both sims to be always active?

  • Is there a dual sim Nokia on the market?

    Hi,
    I'm new here and I'm looking for a dual sim card telephone. I've been using Nokia phones for a very long time now (currently n70), but I need a dual sim phone and I can't find any from Nokia. Apart from the Chineese funny phones, the only things on the market that I know of in this segment are Samsung's D780, D880 and D980. Are there any prospects of Nokia releasing a similar device?

    Nokia have no dual sim devices on the market and they have not announced any products with that feature.
    So far dual sim phones have proved to be unpopular to the vast majority so I would be surprised in nokia released one in the near future.
    Nokia won't comment on unreleased products so you will get no official answer from them.
    Dual sim adaptors do still work on most nokia and other manufacturers phones. These only allow you to use one sim at once but you can easily switch between them.

  • Dual-sim nokia network signal receiver type

    Is it possible somehow to know what is the difference between receivers (hardware and signal level) in 101, 112, 206, 301 and more expensive models?
    Thank you!

    That depends on the supported signal of the phone and the signal that your provider has in the area. These are the two information that you need to look for.
    Most provider's website have a coverage map. You have to check which signal they have the strongest in the area then you need to check which phones support that signal.
    The Nokia 101 supports GSM 900 / 1800 only. You probably need a 3G handset.

  • How can i make my single sim nokia c601 into dual ...

    please give me i want to convert it into dualsim phone

    You can't. Although there are a few unofficial stuffs that work out to some extent. Still, won't recommend anything. It isn't good for the phone. Nor is it allowed to discuss such stuffs here.

  • Dual(extra) sim in iPad interrupts calls to original sim in iPhone.

    Hi,
    I have a dual-sim in my iPad and a regular sim in my iPhone. Both of the sim cards use the same data-plan and both are able to receive calls to the same number, simultaneously. I'm paying for the extra sim card as a service from my provider, so it's legal here. (Basically, you get an extra sim card which is a copy of the original and can be used in an extra phone)
    The problem is that iPad thinks it can do something with the incoming calls and accepts the call, thereby effectively interrupting it after a couple of seconds. This makes it impossible to receive calls on my iPhone, even though i see that it rings once or twice.
    Is there any way to tell the iPad to ignore incoming calls?

    I found another thread that describes a solution. In Germany, there has been an update for provider configuration through iTunes. How do I get that in Norway?

  • Xperia M4 Dual auto SIM selection for hands-free calls

    When using my hands-free kit in my car to dial a number, I have to select which SIM I want to use from the phone screen, which is dangerous and not really hands-free. How could I configure the phone so it dials from the same SIM when I'm using a Bluetooth hands-free kit ? I had this on my previous two dual-SIM phones that were not Sony... Thanks for helping.

    I exact problem - you can not choose which SIM card to use to make calls, especially when I'm driving. I need to unlock my phone, select SIM card to make the call ... Is there any job application that can make the choice of default SIM card?

  • Xperia z3+ dual second sim problem

    Hey guys, I just purchased a Xperia Z3+ dual and the first time I turned it on with both sim cards it was working fine.  Then for some reason the second sim stopped working on the 2G gsm network. I factory restored the phone and it worked again. The thing is that yesterday as soon as I activated the Find my xperia service the 2nd sim stopped working again. This is very annoying and renders my Z3 useless. Anyone have an idea as to what is causing this? Thanks, Kiko

    Does it work while on safe mode?

  • How do I find model number of Nokia phone?

    New poster here. I have become the proud owner of an old (estimate 6 years) Nokia prepaid phone. How do I find its model number? Looking at the pictures of phones on the Nokia website, nothing jumps out at me. Was owned by a family member who recently passed away. No paperwork, not even how many minutes/time left on the prepaid card.
