I wanted to desperately try a dual sim mobile. I had a good luck in it too. I didnt want to invest lot of money into it too. I logged into eBay and checked out some cheap ones but branded. Finally i decided to buy a Micromax Q1. I did buy and tried it. No doubt it is a good phone. Even with small tower it could receive and take the call. It has separate inbox for messages. You can attend calls on both sims. Apart from it it a qwerty phone and look of the phone was good. The music and FM is also good. What else u r looking for rs.1650. Share ur thoughts on the same.

Hi there,
No, i haven't used a dual sim phone but i have two different sim cards. And i use two phones, one is a basic and the other one is a touch screen. I would like to try out a dual sim phone someday i guess. I think you have got one of those china made phones, m i right here?

No buddy. This is a micromax brand with warranty. Please check for this mobile in gsmarena.com. Usually chinese phones font get listed here.

Yes I do have a dual sim cellphone. I use it because I have two mobile carriers. It's really very good and rather inexpensive and I love that it has most functions that I like. And it has the best speakers. Too bad about the battery life though.

Yep, I have and Im using one right now.^_^ Its much more convenient for me too because I have more than one sim card and having two phones is heavy and risky. I also bought the cheapest "branded" one I can find.LOL The phone quality is fine, the radio is good but it does need some improvement, it has all the basic features a phone have. The inbox and call logs are the same as you. Mine doesnt have a camera and Im thinking about buying a dual sim with a good camera someday. Mine was just a bar phone but its all I really need. The volume is loud and really loud if you want it to.^_^

In addition to Nokia E71 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic I am using LAPHONE Model 2G&C with triple SIM (Chinese). It is great but it is a drain on battery. I have to recharge it often because it is all the time searching for three networks.

I haven't used the dual sim mobile yet. That's because I don't have to use double sim cards. I don't have many calls. It is not necessary for me to have extra sim card. But this feature is a cool idea for some very busy people.
I love China

I am currently using a Samsung dual sim phone
I like it because it is not so complicated and I bought it at a very low price. Plus, it is very convenient, one less phone in my bag.
Have a nice day!

Yes, I am currently using a dual sim phone. Each sim card has its own memory log for phone numbers. I think it's smarter to use a dual sim phone than using 2 separate phones. Its functionality is the same as any regular single sim phone. Special features are also available for dual sim phones just like in regular phones.
