Are these the chineese made dual sims ?

Have had one and they really suck.
Although 2 sims work, you can't select the network on the second sim, in general settings on the second sim are limited.
Second problem is battery life. Have heared many problems on this. Mine had a huge 2-3 day standy time (not making any calls) when making a 1 hour call standby was limited to 1 day (like 15 years ago)
Ofcourse the manual wat made using google translate so half of it was unreadable.
Bought it through dealextreme and they have loads of these crappy chineese made phones.
I can only hope that you have a better more reliable solution that has been tested on quality and the regular chinees phones are what the are cheap crap.

The only good dual sim, quad band on both sims, seems to be the new samsung B5702

I don't like any policy that has my credit expired. I would rather prefer to pay a yearly fee to keep the card active, like travelsim.co.uk and I assume that after 12 month they would just use the remaining credit (if enough) to extend the life for 12 month.
It sound a bit crazy that you have to pay a minimum to get your expired credit restored. Credit is credit and should not expire.

I don't know if the iceland route exists at all these days, seem to have gone out of business. Unless yackie bought the company, you never know, I doubt that they will use Iceland, but Yackie could tell more about that.

"

Autorecharge is a nice option but you should be the one to activate it if you want. The biggest diadvantage is that when your phone gets stolen they have unlimited credit untill you call in and have your card blocked. For that you need a supplier that has 24/7 customer support, so do and some don't.
But it's an advantage that you don't have to deposit a large amount and you can keep credit low.
Just wonder what happend if you make a long call and run out of credit, will it recharge during the call ? or does the call stop, recharge and you have to call again.

I assumed that this was about a dual-ID SIM, not dual-SIM phones

Did you buy one of those Chinese Iphone knockoffs, the Hiphone? If so, how bad was it? I have seen those on Craig's List for $79.

No bought it last year on dealextreme, model v90. How it works there is they only show positive reveiws of customers. When your read questions and remarkts from customers you find out that most of them are not really happy.

Have indeed saw some of those iphone looking phones. Just don't want to spent any money to see if they work. Some only have 3 month guarantee, others maybe 1 year. Good chance you have to sent them back at your cost and also pay for the shipping back to you.
I sent my back to dealextreme for guarantee but had not heard anything from them. Now 6 month later filled a complaint and finally they credited me. So I am left with 100 dollar to buy some more of their crap product.

My advice stay away, it's cheap copies or if you want to buy one get one from a us supplier that imports them. In case of a problem he has to solve it. That said if he is still in business than.

I don't know how the samsumg sim works but the chineese, when you have a call going on on 1 sim and get a call on the other sim it goes straight to voicemail, so you can't switch between calls on 2 sims.

Als there are some posting on the internet where they took apart an iphone to analyse what's in it and how much it would cost. From what I can remember it was more than 79 dollar. So even if prices have dropped just based on hardware cost, apple being a big player just think logical they can't make a quality phone for that price. They can't even if the hardware cost of big players is allready higher.

Portelligent has told EETimes, that based on what they now about the components that Apple are using in the iPhone 3G, the actual bill for materials could be as low as $100.00 as compared to the original iPhone’s material cost of $170.00.

Even if the chineese can make it for $100 they still have to make a few dollars on it. So imagine if they sell a phone for $79, they still make some money on this, so their cost maybe 65$. The only way you can explaine a big difference like this is crap components.

I also have a question.

It would be great if you would charge (incoming and outgoing calls) by the second or at least at 15 seconds increments instead of 1 minute increments. Do you consider such an option?

[littleyip]

Yackie, can you tell us where the sim number will be based? Thanks!

[WooF]

Would anyone really trust a company that has been dead for such a long time. What's the next scam. Ask customers to pay for there new sim card !

Unless your giving customers a free replacement sim card and moving over the old call credit, I would not give you a single dime $



'We make your Money Mobile' - yes, my money in your pocket !

we are considering 30 secondes, maybe every 20 should be the good number
