Dual SIM Mobile Phone around $200?

Hi there. Looking for a recommendation to buy a dual SIM mobile phone. I have two SIM cards I want to use. Both are with Telstra one only has calls and the other only has data. Strange set up I know but that is what I have and I don't' want to change the SIM cards.

I am after a very decently priced mobile phone that will allow me to use phone calls on one SIM and data on the other SIM at the same time. The camera doesn't have to be great. Good battery life is important as I will likely use it to hot spot.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

  • I wonder why Australian carries don't sell dual SIM phones.

    But be extremely careful when choosing dual SIM phones on overseas websites. It is really hard to tell which phone is true dual SIM (4G/3G+4G/3G) or 4G/3G+2G from the spec page. Many budget even mid range dual SIM phones only support one 4G/3G standby. It means when one SIM slot is running/standing by on 4G/3G network, the other SIM will automatically fall to 2G which literally makes the phone single SIM in Australia.

  • Moto g5 plus

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. The AI version with the dual camera lens on the back, it should be close to your budget.
    Both sims can do 4G simultaneously and has a 4000mah battery.
