"Data only" because an iPad is not a phone. (but you get around that by using data calls, such as Tu-go)
iPad only because the phones are locked to networks (a feature requested by the networks to tie you in to a contract) when you first put a sim in them.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium dual just for that, private and agents.
When calling and texting you always choose which sim card to use. Data goes via sim 1, both sims active when there's mobile coverage.
Does what it says on the tin. Could be smarter about a default sim to use when texting based on history.Last edited by zazou; 4 February 2016, 22:55.Comment

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI understand the principle, one phone, two SIM cards so can be on different carriers, but how are the carriers prioritised?
Other stuff - SIM2 slot in the side without needing to take the phone apart, which is nice. Battery life is maybe 6-8 days with standby / light use, not the 35 (!) claimed. Screen is unreadable in direct sunlight. Oh, and it's a phone not a computer.Comment

Dual Active.
Phones that supports both SIM cards in parallel. These cost more but allow you to receive calls on both cards and choose which one you want to make calls with when you dial the number.
Dual Standby.
Get a cheaper phone that only ever has one SIM card active at a time. You have to manually switch between them in the phone settings. The main advantage is that you don't need to manually sward the cards out.
Good review of what's available here.

Acitve = both sims can active be used SIMULTANEOUSLY
Standy By = When one sim will be IN USE (e.g. when talking) the other will be on STAND BY.
Both the types can receive calls and does not need to be manually switched.Comment
