Dual sim options

[andy]

Hi People

I know the gemini has a normal and esim option but are there any ways (internal/external) to make the phone work with two normal phones sims?
Thanks

Short answer - no.

Long answer - maybe.

Easiest option: your carrier should have a service called a 'virtual SIM' that basically provisions a SIM card with two different numbers. This obviously won't work for you if your aim is to add another physical SIM card, e.g. traveling.

There are dual sim adaptors that let you use two physical SIM cards, but in my experience they are fragile and finicky. The Gemini also seems to have pre-reserved the second SIM menu for the eSIM, so that might be a complicating factor.

I think the answer depends on why do you need 2 SIM's, some thoughts...

Assuming - at least in the UK - for none of the [consumer] carriers support eSIM...

2 Numbers - on at the same time - select a carrier that will let you have 2 numbers

2 Numbers - switchable,  you might be able to use an adaptor as isuethis says.  For travelling  have one in a old Nokia phone that takes 2 nano sims and fits in a normal SIM sized works great (one UK sim one French SIM ).  It's tight fit though and might not fit the Gemini   Quality varies a lot though the 1.99 ones on ebay are probably not that reliable.  Some use SIM toolkit menu other older ones have a tiny switch.  you could always metal bash the Gemini a bit - or perhaps not  

Low tec Solution for traveling - stick the second SIM inside the case and change when you get there...

Better network coverage - there are now a few MVNO's that roam networks within country e.g. Anywhere SIM https://anywheresim.com/ or Pebble https://pebblenetwork.ltd.uk/
