Step dad has 2 SIM cards??

[lmbkr112]

My mum asked me to change her partners ringtone on his phone the other day and while on it I noticed in the settings it said there was a SIM1 and SIM2. This has immediately rang alarm bells and now I’m wondering if he is having an affair/hiding something from my mum. Does anyone have any advice as I’m not sure whether to tell my mum in case it is innocent.

Perhaps ones a work number?

Business SIM, personal SIM? I had a phone with two, nothing dubious going on.

I have two sim cards. I'm not having an affair. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion based on that alone.

If he travels abroad often it could be for that reason.

I had two sims for a few months because one had cheap data and the other was my usual sim for calls.

Bold assumption! I have 2 for work.

I had 2 because the package with my provider gave me an extra number for free. I never use it, never even think about it.

Is there more to this story?

Read the post name out loud and my partner proclaims "FOR DRUGS!"

I'm hoping that's not the case!

I have two SIM cards in my phone but not having an affair it just what came with my phone. I only use the one..One was for some WiFi thing if I remember correctly.

Loads of colleagues have dual sim phones because they've a work number for clients and their own personal one and it's a pain carrying around two phones.
Not necessarily sinister, especially if he has to give out his work phone number often to clients.

My partner has a dual sim card phone, one he uses day to day and the other he tops up to use to call and video chat his family who live in Nigeria, it's cheaper to use a specific company to do this,all very innocent

I have 2 sim cards to get the best coverage (different underlying networks)

I used to have 2 SIMs - a UK one and a foreign one. Currently down to 1 SIM, but if I go to change the ringtone, it offers me both choices. Are you sure he has a SIM in each slot?

Could be UK and foreign or work and personal?

I know people who put a work one and a personal one in the same phone to avoid having to carry 2 phones around. Could easily be that.

I have had phones which allow me two SIMs useful to have one number for my professional contacts, one for my personal. Also meant I could have two different networks, useful where coverage can be patchy. Didn’t know that would lay me open to judgement and accusations of an affair.

I've always got 2 in my phone. SIM2 will be from wherever I last visited as I pick up a local SIM when traveling. It then stays put until I go abroad again and chuck it out to put the new one in.

I have two sim slots but just 1 in it. Inky settings etc it still gives me option to save to slot 1 or 2 soit might not even be that there are physically two in there.

Also if he needs you to change his ringer he's hardly a techno wiz that can hide stuff surely?

Thread hijack, those who have two sims, can you see which one is being used to ring in on?

Yes, TW2013. And you can set them to ring differently, so you can tell which sim is being used before you even look at the screen. I also named each SIM something obvious.

My phone says I have 2 sims when I change the ringtone but I only have one sim in it.

I have two SIMs for travel purposes. My friend has two, one for work calls, one for private. It's not at all unusual, and there are now quite a few phones that will let you run two SIMs concurrently, rather than having to swap them in and out.

Did you see the 2 sims in the phone ? Some phones have a 2sim option but it doesn't mean there's 2 in it.

My phone is dual sim, and when changing tingtones, will ask prompt for sim1 and sim2, when really I only have one sim in.
Are you sure there actually are 2 sims in?

Why would someone ask their partners daughter to change their ringtone? Can they not do it themselves?
