Part of the problem, too, is that roaming on a foreign SIM almost inevitably costs a fortune in the US. For example, in Germany, I always have my Polish phone switched on, frequently my British one, and sometimes my Italian one. If someone calls me on one of these, it costs 17 cents a minute. In the US, the price to receive would be between 81 cents and 2 euro a minute, and substantially more than that to place a call. When I'm in the US, I leave my German phone on, turn my mailbox off, and (unless it's really important) I do not answer it if it rings, but call back from a landline.
FWIW, Samsung makes a dual-SIM phone, but its usefulness is compromised somewhat by being only dual band.
