Is it possible to use two different carriers with one sim at the same time? For instance. using a cingular voice plan and a tmobile data plan at the same time, without having to switch between the two.
There are dual sim adaptors which work on the TyTN, have a look at this thread, you need one of the '10th generation':

I've a question
Is it possible to use 2 sim's in the 2020 and use 1 for permanent gprs access and the other for my regular phone conversations without swapping the sims in any program all the time.
This because my vodafone charches me for every minute i use gprs and T-mobile offers a 10euro package for unlimited gprs time. so if its possible i'll aply for a Tmobile gprs package.
Nobody ?
No.
AFAIK you can only access one sim at a time, with either physical dual sim adaptors or multi-sim copiers.

Can you have voice service with one carrier and just internet (gprs, edge, 3g) with another carrier? is this possible?
Theoretically, yes, but you would need:
a) A dual SIM adapter for your phone and you would have to switch between SIMs (which in some cases involves reset)
b) The carrier would have to agree to sell you a "data only" package. Such packages are usually offered when you by a cellular modem.
another option could be having a 2nd phone with bluetooth, having a sim in that device with just a data plan.
Your PDA connects to the 2nd device via bluetooth- DUN - (or internet sharing in WN6)
so when your making calls the you use 1 sim and to connect to the internet you use another device,
I use to use this method a few years back, when I had work sims, with unlimited data plans, -
the spare phone use to just sit in a bag or pocket and never had to be taken out-
on a slightly off-note,
i came across a review eith on engadget or another site a year ago, where they had this PDA that could take 2 sims at the same time and work on 2 networks at the same time, im sure it was a south Koreans or tiawnes model,
I have a new job, and with that comes a new phone (KPN), but: no data traffic! (company policy)
I do own a private number (Tmob) which I can update to a data-plan. And to make use of them, I could use a sim-switch, but then I have to switch each time I want to use internet or make a call. But I don't wanna switch! I want 1 sim for voice and 1 for data at the same time, is this impossible??!
probably
But then: as an alternative I could ask KPN for an data only contract as an addon to the contract of my work sim which will be billed by myself. Does anyone have some experience with this? (calling KPN is not possible during the weekend, and I'm very curios)
thanks!
dual sim
Hello,
I tried a dual sim solution in my trinity, but without success. I bought the latest generation because the older ones can't deal with digital sim's capable of umts. This was a 16th generation dual sim. It worked fine in a verry old nokia but not in my trinity. Tried it in WM5 and WM6 but keeps reporting a sim error.
Can this phone run on Sprint network and do VOICE & DATA Simultaneously? like a Note 3 with dual antenna?
From what I understand, it's a carrier function, I have full voice/data on AT&T.
No idea on sprint
I think it offers this support on the dual sim variant, provided you use one sim for data and another for voice.
No..one carrier(One SIM) can't give call and data functions same time. But you can use wifi. Dual SIM ..yes if you're calling from one SIM and using data in another(but it depends on Device too)
I used both the call function data together,as while playing clash of clans.It worked.

As I said, on AT&T with a xt1644 (single SIMM) it DOES do voice/data however, I still think its a function of the carrier?!
Not necessarily a two simm version.
Hi guys,
like the title says I want to use 1 SIM only for mobile data and the other SIM only for calling. I know there are settings for this and that this is possible but I want to know if I can use the "mobile data SIM" in LTE mode while receiving normal calls using the other SIM?
Is it even possible to use a mobile data only SIM in this phone? (just to be sure )
Did someone have experience with usage like this?
Thanks!

If you would have played with the settings first then you wouldn't have had asked this.
Anyway, you can choose preferred Sim for Data, Sms and Call. You may choose same sim for all 3 or 2 different as per your choice.
Whichever Sim you chose for Data will always allow you to choose from different network types like 4G/3G/2G but the 2nd sim(2nd sim in the sense the another sim, you have have chosen sim in 2nd slot for data, so in that case the sim in 1st slot) will always be on 2G. You won't be able to change that.
And I am sure you wanted to know exactly this.
And it's upto you for what purpose you use the sim.
1 use 1 sim only for data. Talk time on that is always 0. And another for call and sms.
The Sim I use for data is PrePaid and the other one a PostPaid. Just in case you had this confusion.
If you have any other confusion feel free to ask.

Yeah, thanks! I had no second Sim to test it, that's why I asked.

Oh! My bad. Didn't thought that could be a possibility too.
Feel free to ask any dual sim related issue/confusion. Will try my best to help.
Yes it works and you can put them in either SIM slot. Both slots are LTE capable and it works in both configurations. Just make sure the network options are set to "LTE/4G preferred" as they might not be by default, on the data SIM.
