I have a nokia dual sims phone, with a rogers card...

i live in ny, but when i went to canada it says no service, and in the states its saying no service....what am i doing wrong... i couldn't even put minutes on in in montreal, with a voucher. i was suppose to get free minutes with the card, but that never happened either....i go to networking and they can't find one..i have a canadian phone number and address on the phone, so i should have been able to use it in montreal.

Can I ask what model is the phone and where was it purchased?
My first guess is that it's a non-US model
The US & Canada is on 1900 & 850 GSM bands, whereas India (where most Nokia dual SIM phones are sold) is 900 & 1800.
Therefore it might be that the handset is not configurated for North America.

Nokia Dual Sim system

hi,
looking to exchange my 2 2730 Classic phones for 1 Nokia 206 Dual SIM. I've tried to find answers on how dual sim system works (all I got was few words on Easy Swap).
Can someone explain briefly how does the system of 2 SIMs work in this phone? eg. are both active at all times?
example: will I be reachable on both numbers at the same time and then when someone calls me on one number will that suspend the second number during the duration of call?
Or if I'm surfing the web using mobile internet on one SIM, would I be able to receive phone call to the secondary SIM? (with the internet being cut off for the time being of course?
thanks

Go to Solution.

206 is dual sim with dual standby, it works just fine even when you use internet. Yes for all your questions.
In my opinion,
I think your idea of selling two 2730 3G phones for single 206 is not a good idea.
Checkout asha dual sim full touch, they do have easy swap dual sim feature with that there will be no need of turning off phone to change sim.

Concern regarding quality of dual sim phones

Can we have nokia build phones similar to asha 300 or Nokia X3-02 with dual sim option and i am sure we can expect a lot more market for nokia in India.
We still have a big lot of consumers who prefer normal keypad kind of phones with dual sim option, just that the quality has to be to the mark, when i did a review on the types of dual sim phones, its really sad to see nokia producing low quality phones with dual sim options, i agree the target is to reach economy class but if we have atleast 1 new model with featuers and quality as that of nokia 300 or x3-02,,, much appreciated.

Verizon will only activate Verizon-branded phones on its network. Any Verizon phone will be compatible with the 3G CDMA network, but may also have radios for 4G LTE and/or various GSM bands (with a SIM card slot - Verizon calls these global phones) depending on the particular phone.
If you want a phone to use with Verizon and in another country, you'd need to buy one of Verizon's global models and have it unlocked to work with the SIM card from the other provider. You'd also want to carefully check that the phone's GSM radio supports the frequencies that the other company uses.

DUAL SIM PHONE OPTIONS

I need to get a dual sim phone so that i can have my own personal mobile sim in it and my work mobile sim in too
However, I need the option to be able to USE ONE SIM ONLY , so that I can 'turn off' my work mobile when I am not working.
I was looking at something like the Asha 202 or C2-00. However, having downloaded their user manuals, it would suggest you cannot do this (And only have the option of selecting which sim will be used for outgoing calls/texts).
Another dual sim phone , the Nokia 101 according to its user guide has the facility to USE ONE SIM ONLY. However, that is a very basic phone and has no camera.
So, my question is, is the USE ONE SIM ONLY available on the 202 & C2-00 and is just omitted from the user guide, or is it really not available ?
Thanks
Regards, Mikey-boy

@MIKEYBOY_UK
AFAIK it allows simultaneous Dual SIM Support with preferred SIM selection for Making Calls and Data. Asha 200 allows hot swap of SIM 2 via side slot whilst SIM 1 is placed underneath battery.

Dual-sim phone suggestions for my mom

I am looking for a non-touch Nokia phone for my mother. She requests a phone that supports dual-sim so she can use it for both personal and work calls. I have read around a bit, and there's this term called dual-sim standby, and as far as I understand, it seems it is about dual-sim phones having to change from one to another when you want to use it for other than calling, like for example browsing or writing messages. And to not give her this confussion, I rather suggest a phone that doesn't need to be controlled whether using sim A or B.
So I am here to ask if you guys could suggest a Nokia phone that supports dual-sim with no dual-sim standby? Thanks in regards!
PS: I found some phones that supported dual-sim, but it seemed like the phone needed to be a dual-sim model before having the feature. So is it true, that when you find a phone mode it does not necessarily have dual sim capabilities?

I still feel that phone such as X1-01 being able to keep work and personal calls separate and see on what side call is coming in would be very useful to her; an added benfit is good battery life on this model.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Nokia DUAL SIM, WHEN?

When can we expect the first nokia dual sim mobile phone?
Dual sim mobile phone - mobile phone with 2(two) sim cards

to mccbleue & nj15 users:
i don't agree with what you say, that there's no reason for "big" companies to invest in dual sim's... the growing number of people having a private and a professional phones justifies that!
has anyone seen the samsung dual series? i have a d780 dual sim, and as its primary functions it's quite ok (both sims work fully at the same time, receiving/making calls or texts from any with no hassle).
the problem is that i'm used to the nokia system, so i'm not adapting well to this samsung phone.
so i join many others with this question:
when is nokia releasing a dual-sim mobile phone? i wouldn't mind paying a bit more for this...

Dual Sim Phone

I currently have 2 sim cards - one on o2 uk pay as you go and one on vodafone uk pay monthly. Is there a phone that will let me use both sim cards at time (e.g. line 1, line 2 etc) or do I need to have a special sim card with the 2 networks on it? If I need just the one sim card, which operator do I go to?

A phone cannot connect to two networks at the same time, it's not possible. One of the networks will always be offline and you will have to switch between them.
No nokia models can accept two sim cards at the same, you have to use an adaptor. You can find these adaptors on ebay for many models. It's not possible to have two networks on one sim card.
The only true dual sim phone in the world is made by samsung and it's not available in the UK.

Nokia 5800 Restart Problem with the Memory Card

hi,
i am facing a peculiar problem with my 5800.i hv firmware v21.
Whenever i restart the phone with the sd card inserted (it has around 35+apps/games loaded but 4.3GB of memory is free) ;the phone hangs up at the "nokia" screen & i hv to remove the battery.on ejecting the card & then restarting; the phone starts up fine.on inserting the card later after the restart; it is read without any problems by the phone & all the apps. work fine.i do not hv any apps loaded for start up.
i saw similar problems posted in some other topics for 5800;but could not get a clear idea whether this problem was occuring in other phones as well.Is it firmware related or due to large no. of apps on the phone?
please help.

it is most likely the corrupt memory card issue, it happens quiet often. that is why back up is so essential to have especially of memories and such. for that i use share online and upload my pics right away to ovi or vox whichever.
the programs you bought you should be just able to download once again and plug in the key you have gotten with your applicatioins. you should be able to recover all of your purchases. i am sorry for your pics for those can't be recovered
i always keep a separate email folder for all my application keys so i can find they easily as phones and memory does get corrupt. i can do it relatively quickly and have the info handy even on the go

Why have I lost my gmail email address twice since syncing my Nokia C3-01 phone with Firefox?

I originally had a btinternet email address which was apparently my primary Google email address. I had great difficulty obtaining a Google gmail address which eventually became my primary email address. My original btinternet email address became my 'recovery email address'. Since 'syncing' my new Smart phone with Firefox I have lost the use of my gmail address and Google now refers to the btinternet address as my primary email address - which I don't want!! I have already 'recovered' my gmail address once - only for it to disappear again subsequent to using my mobile phone. Please help!

I read a few more discussions on this problem elsewhere on-line with the suggestion that I had a bug on my computer that hijacked my email account to send emails elsewhere (not that I had any clue on how to discover that on my computer).
I followed the suggestion to access my email account on-line and change my password and make it stronger. I did that and was able to get my emails downloaded to my computer and other devices.
I'm pretty sure that my original problem started when I unsubscribed from the Calorie Counter on-line newsletter by pressing a link at the bottom of the email I received from them. A screen came up that said I was unsubscribed and then disappeared in a flash.The experience seemed odd and weird compared to other times when I've unsubscribed from something.
As a test I resubscribed to the newsletter and then unsubscribed. I was directed to one of CCounter's internal web pages and went through a couple of steps in order to finish the process... all very professional and obviously on the newsletter's website.
So the lesson I learned was have a strong password for my email and change it occasionally. And do the same for other accounts that are password protected.

Nokia 616 car phone with E51

Hi,
So I have the Nokia 616 bluetooth car phone, I had the E50 and it worked fine, but ever since I got the E51 it never picks up a network when I connect. I manage to connect and download my contacts, my phone goes into remote sim mode as it should but anytime I try and make a call there's no network and it tells me "no network coverage" any ideas?

I think you need to head over to the Forum Nokia Site.

Microsoft dual SIM phone network issues

Hi - I recently bought Microsoft 535 dual SIM. I have two SIM's in the phone. Till now I have been unsuccessful in getting both SIM's work together. If one SIM has network the other SIM wouldn't. The way I get a particular SIM to get network connection is
by selecting it as the SIM for data connection in mobile+SIM settings. While the other SIM shows "active" it says no network available. The moment I switch the selection in "SIM for data connection" to the 2nd SIM it gains network connection
and the 1st one goes to "no network found" status!!!
Appreciate any help on this. thanks for your time and attention.

After writing the post above I did another experiment with the phone.
Took it apart to see if I can notice something obvious on the PCB - noting there - all is firmly attached and well soldered. Used a magnifying glass with high magnification to verify that there are no cracks in the solder where RJ-45 jack attaches
the to the PCB. Put it back together - plugged in the network cable. Phone boots, asks me to sign in - as I start the process and begin handling the phone I get disconnected from the network.
The error message that the phone shows:
"The Network cable was not detected. Please check that your cable is connected to the network port and that you have a network connection."
In this state the lights on the network port are off - they are not blinking. So the PoE is delivered but the interface is down. Looking at the port status on the switch shows that PoE is "delivering" but the link status is "down".
All you have to do is firmly press the network cable back into the phone and it starts working. Go figure what's at play.

Nokia candy bar phone with LED torch function

Hi,
I need a candy bar phone with LED torch function with a decent camera 3-5mp. I don't really want to install an app I want it as standard. Can anyone recommend any Nokia phone that offers that?
I need it quite urgently as my wife's contract is up and I cannot find a phone for her.

Check out the Nokia X2. It has an LED torch as standard that is accessed by holding down the * key. It also has a 5mp camera and the quality of the pictures is good.
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-x2-00
I've got an X2 and think it's a great phone in it's price range. I paid just under £60 for a black one and have been very happy with it.
