Dual SIM Cell Phones in the New Age

Change is the way of life and there is nothing better than the change in cell phones throughout the years to explain this. The difference between the first ever mobile cell phone and the dual SIM cell phones available in the market today is huge. The differences can be found in the design of the cell phone, in the size of the cell phone, in the technology used in the cell phone, the extra features added to the new age cell phones, their cameras, music systems, video recorders and many other things.

One feature that has taken the mobile industry world by storm is the dual SIM feature that can be integrated into cell phones. As the term explains itself, a dual SIM phone has two GSM slots for SIM cards, meaning dual SIM phones can make use of the services of two mobile network operators at the same time. In layman’s terms, this means that you can have the services of Verizon as well as T-mobile on your dual SIM phone at the same time. This feature could prove to be very useful at various levels. For some, it might be useful to use two networks on the same phone, as they may be unable to afford two phones; and having one phone with two cell phone networks works a great deal better for the customer as well as the service providers.

For business people who are constantly managing their jobs and working on their phone, they would not want to miss any important business calls. The dual SIM cards feature is an advantage for these business people, as they can advertise and network with more customers and prospective clients than they could if they had a phone with just one network provider.

Others who can certainly benefit from a dual SIM card cell phone are those who work from home. If their workplace is in their home, they need not carry separate cell phones for their work mates and family members. They can have both the workplace and the home contacts stored on the same dual SIM phone and manage work at home effortlessly and efficiently.

Free phones by many mobile operators are also available in the dual SIM cards format. Although leading cell phone manufacturers such as Nokia, BlackBerry and HTC have not yet started producing dual SIM mobile phones, there are some available by companies such as LG and Motorola.
