Normally, it&#8217;s best to have one SIM for work, the other for friends and families. When you go to work, you can switch the\u00a0SIM for relationships into\u00a0vibration mode. Also, when you go home, you can disable the SIM for work in order not to be disturbed by any duty call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secondly, Dual SIM phones offer more connectivities.\u00a0<\/strong>Smartphones with Dual SIM are the most useful when the two SIMs are from two different mobile suppliers. Some discount programs like free messages, free calling\u00a0only work for SIMs from the same mobile supplier. So double SIMs, double advantages! Moreover, when one SIM runs out of money, you still have the other! However, before you buy a dual SIM smartphone, consider the drawbacks below.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744.webp 420w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744-300x179.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19147 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Dual-SIM-smartphones-e1467799110744\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<h3>Dual SIM phones: The drawbacks<\/h3>\n<p><strong>First, Dual SIM phones are more complicated to use.\u00a0<\/strong>There is ALWAYS an extra step whenever you want to make a phone call, text a message or turn on 3G: &#8220;Which SIM do you want to use?&#8221;. To deal with that, many people choose to switch off one SIM whenever they don&#8217;t need to use it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moreover, Dual SIM phones can lead to confusion!\u00a0<\/strong>Because of having two &#8220;identities&#8221;, there are situations in which the owner makes a wrong call or text the wrong message!
