Depending on your smartphone it will either come with a dual SIM or a single SIM tray. Dual SIM models allow you to use two SIM cards in one device. This is handy if you have separate phone numbers for work and home or if you would like to use a local number while keeping your original number active when in a foreign country.
Types of SIM card
Dual SIM card trays feature 2 SIM card slots, where a hybrid SIM tray features 1 SIM card slot and a hybrid slot. A hybrid slot can take either a second SIM card or a microSD card for expandable memory, giving you the flexibility to choose between a second SIM card or extra storage.
You can check by removing the SIM card tray and seeing how many slots it has and how the second slot is labeled, if it saysSIM2it's a dual SIM, if it saysSIM2 microSDit's a hybrid.
