The Dualsim Mini is now ready for purchase in the store!

What is DUALSIM^TM?

DUALSIM^TM mobile phones are fitted with 2 SIM CARD slots allowing DUALSIM^TM operation of the phone.

Mobile phones with DUALSIM^TM Card capability have the advantage of allowing both SIM cards to be active simultaneously and allow calls to be received on either number, unlike adapters that require you to switch between phone numbers.

Normal GSM phones contain a single transceiver; DUALSIM^TM phones have DUAL TRANSCEIVERS and display SIGNAL STRENGTHS for both networks. A phone with a single transceiver cannot be converted to simultaneous DUALSIM^TM operation; at best you can only store both cards in an adaptor and manually switch between phones. The use of aftermarket adaptors in SINGLE transceiver phones could void the warranty of the phone and are not guaranteed to work on all phone models.

The inherent advantages of using DUALSIM^TM mobile phones can be seen in two aspects:

• Firstly, you no longer need to carry two phones with you and monitor both handsets for calls or messages; most people would also need to undergo the time consuming process of replicating phone numbers and personal information onto each handset. DUALSIM^TM phones integrate both sim cards phone listings into the built in phone book to create one seamless phone directory.
  
  
• Secondly, people can now have access to two separate phone lines on different networks; this allows you to conveniently access different network tariffs and charges without having to constantly physically change the sim cards inside the phone to take advantage of these offers. Eg If you have a SIM card with UNLIMITED TEXT MESSAGE offering and another with FREE CALLS offer.

The DUALSIM^TM branded phones are specifically built for Australian network conditions and certified by Australian Labs to meet Australian standards.

What will a headset do for you? Did you know that using a headset on a daily basis will reduce unnecessary back pain and fatigue caused by cradling the phone on your shoulder? Using a headset as part of your daily work routine will help improve your posture, and make you feel more active and refreshed at the end of the work day.

Not only does a headset help you physically, it also increases your work productivity. Studies have shown that using a headset instead of holding the phone frees up a hand and can improve productivity by up to 43%.
