Hi

I am wondering if anyone has been able to make this %$#$% phone work with Dual SIMs? I have tried all of the production builds and Insider Builds and have never been able to use the Smart Dual Sim feature, I am only able to use either SIM 1 or SIM2 but only if the other is turned off. I have tried calling MS support and the scary thing is I know more about their products than they do and its totally frustrating wasting hours on the phone with them,

 

If it matters  I am located in Canada using Bell Mobility for both SIMS, I have also tried mixing SIMs from Rogers and Wind Mobile with no luck.

 

I am currently running the latest Insider builder and could really use a helping hand if anyone can save me from this otherwise pretty good phone

only 1 slot can use LTE/3G at a time.  The other is relegated to 2G.

Understood and this works as expected, unfortunately I am not able to use the Smart Dual SIM features its set to Off and greyed out. We were lead to believe by Microsoft (we were dealing with the Canadian Head Offices) that the phone allowed us to have 2 SIMs with one forwarded to the other so that our staff wouldn't have to carry 2 phone (1 business and their personal) so far of course still having to lug around to phones.

when using 2 SIMS, 1 of them will be locked to 2G.

 

only Rogers and Fido have a GSM (2G) network in addition to 3G and LTE, they'll be shutting down GSM in 2018. Bell and Telus only have 3G and LTE networks. Wind Mobile only has a limited 3G network right now.

sorry if I am asking a stupid question but are you saying that 2 Bell SIMs wouldn't work together?

just to clarify, with both sims in the phone you can receive a call from either or correct?  all the 'smart' feature does is forward a call to your other sim if you are on the call usng that sim.. granted your sim for that carrier supports forwarding and the line its forwarding to has call waiting.

No, only the active SIM receives calls the other SIM goes straight to voice mail

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
