Can I activate a dual sim functionality in Galaxy S7 edge sold by any UK's providers?

Hi guys,
Can I activate a dual sim functionality in Galaxy S7 edge sold by any UK's providers?
Three, O2 etc say I can't use S7 edge as a dual sim phone.
Is there any workout for this? I need a dual sim phone, but dont want to get S7 edge dual sim off ebay because my upgrade is in a few days......
Thanks
On everything i have already searched and seen on this subject, no you can't
Have you actually tried to put 2 sim cards in s7 edge at any shop selling mobiles in the UK, or you just read, please?
I asked the same thing. 2 reasons why you can't
1) the sim / sd card holder doesn't have this shape to add the 2nd sim. So you'd need to change / mod that
2) whilst the 2nd sim circuits and connectors are in the phone there is no 2nd IMEI assigned to it
Adding an IMEI would be illegal under UK law..

Broken SIM tray

So basically the situation is I switch back and forward between my S7E and Tab S.
The thing is that I'm already on my second broken tray since august.
Anyone experiencing this?
Have you taken it into repair center? How did deal with it?
Single SIM tray with SD Card inserted by the way.
Why not just keep the SIM in the S7, then use SideSync to see the phone screen on the Tab S and basically use the phone remotely?

BecauseI my son borrows itand I also have a Mi 5 and since the SIM card jumps around all of them and none of the others broke so far.
I hope this is not the S7 fiasco.
Can't say. I haven't encountered much about the SIM tray being broken, but I haven't encountered anyone else in your situation.

Just wondering whether anyone else was aware.
I found several links about this and one was in Samsung support page US.

Galaxy S7 Edge SIM Problem

Hey guys, im having specific problem, i bought my S7 Edge and it was carrier locked. I unlocked it and when i use another sim card phone works fine but for short period of time than i become "No SIM inserted" message. Phone works perfectly fine when i use sim card which is from carrier that i bought my phone from.
Any suggestions?
Most likely a bad sim card, then.

Can I put sim from another carrier into new S8+?

So I just got my S8+ (was going to return it because of no root yet, but said the hell with it... phone is too sweet to return). Anyway... I am currently under contract with MetroPCS on my Galaxy S5 and my S8+ is from Xfinity, but I have 10 days to activate it and I'm going to wait the full 10 days, because I'm paid up on MetroPCS till the 17 and since billing doesn't kick in with Xfinity until I activate, was wondering if I can put my Metro sim in it and use it till it activates?

Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S8 sim unlocked by default?

Just bought my Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S8 from Walmart, so I took the Tracfone sim card out and put a AT&T sim card into it, it works!
My question: Is the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S8 sim unlocked by default?
Thanks in advance
I tested mine with all four major carriers, ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile and started a Sprint free year on the device, so I guess the Walmart Straight Talk S8 is fully unlocked
