My phone has a place for two sim cards. What does that mean?

Think of it like the wireless version of a two-line wired phone. You can have two different numbers, as well as different plans, but only have to carry one phone around. One use would be for someone who uses it for business and personal. You could have separate numbers and accounts, helping to separate business and personal use. The company could pay for the business SIM and you pay for the personal one. Alternately, you could use both for personal and/or business, but just use different SIM cards for another reason. Like maybe you have one plan that's great on local and another good with long distance, or maybe you have one plan that's prepaid and another billed monthly. You might also use the phone in areas with patchy network coverage, or while traveling, since you often pay less for calls made in the network of the provider you're with. Could you use it with just one SIM card? I'm sure. It's like having a two-line phone with only one line hooked up.

I have a local regular (mini?) sim card in there now, but it has slots for two sim cards. I'm also using a thumb drive that I load 'time' onto for my internet here in the Philippines. The thumb drive uses a sim card as well, it encases a micro sim card, which I have to insert into the cellphone to receive the load, so long story short, I guess it takes both. Hope that wasn't too confusing!

Please check if your carrier supports GSM technology.NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network.

Yes, this phone is a DUAL SIM phone, but different from the others because it uses a MINI SIM card and a MICRO SIM card. This is not a problem, when you get the SIM cards from your carrier just inquire about this sizes, if you currently have 2 SIM cards of the same size, you only have to ask your carrier for the exchange. You can also use only one SIM instead of 2.

No, you can put 2 sims but not necessary as I use one sim and it works great

this phone uses the regular size card ATT or TMobile, or both as it has 2 sim slots

Once you have installed both SIM cards you can switch between them in the settings or options menu where they both show up.

If you get one that is not defected meaning both sim slots work Yes both will work at the same time meaning you will have two sim cards in the phone at the same time but different numbers. You can receive calls and make calls from both you only switch from sim1 to sim2 each time you want to make calls its your choice now depending on what number you want to call from. It is very easy and nice if both sim cards are working but one of mine didn't work.

Yes there's two slots. Do not purchase any Sim card at Walmart for this phone, it will get stuck, and end up breaking, (Walmarts Sim cards are to thin for this phone)

I think maybe you are removing the sim card instead of the micro Sd card, the micro sd card is located on the other side.

The way it was explained to me is one SIM slot is just the GSM bands and the second SIM slot has both GSM and HSPA+ bands. This same person told me, at T-Mobile, that I had to have one GSM SIM for phone and text and the other would be for data. So this is what I was told this is what the dual SIM slots are about, but truthfully I do not know except the N9002 if extremely popular and sell a lot of them. By the way he never got my data to work and finally I too my phones to another T-Mobile store where the guy said, ""why do you have two SIMs?" After he took out the GSM SIM card out the phone's data worked ever since. so like I said I'm really not sure only that lots of people want the N9002.

One sim card does mot enhance nor interfere with the other. I use the second slot for a more anonymous pay as you go service when I do not want to be traced or bothered.

No, I just put in one and it was fine. The home screen displayed the network name for that one, and below that it just said something like "No SIM 2." I believe you could just toggle back and forth between two SIM cards/networks if you needed to based on your travels.
