The Vodafone Galaxy A20's sim tray:

Has anyone tried to get a third party tray with dual sim and see if the phone detects the 2nd sim? Or is it hard locked (missing hardware for another SIM) or soft locked (changed by firmware)?

        • Is there any reason to believe that website? What if they have just taken the info from Samsung?

          I mean has anyone opened it up and gone into the details? Maybe its a soft lock, a hard lock, or just simple "replace tray" lock.

          • @kehuehue: Order a tray and try then.
            Go and google the model number yourself.

            • @Xetrok: Yeah it is oos in Australia. 3$ on aliexpress but dunno if it's worth the wait

          • @kehuehue: Why would the website lie?

            Get a dual Sim adaptor for about $50 or upgrade to dual Sim handset.

            • @whooah1979: not about the site lying, but them just getting data off Samsung's spec list

  • I think you'll find that if the phone supported dual sim it would have two imei numbers like all other dual SIM phones.

  • AFAIK, these phones are soft locked only. If you can flash a dual sim rom then you can use it as dial sim.

    Someone used to reflash roms on gumtree remotely. I will see if I can still find that ad.
