In India, dual SIM support is the best advantage Android has over iPhone. That holds many people away. People are not letting ONE of their number go away.

- noja 9y agoWhat do they use the second phone number for?
- kharms 9y ago(1) It's often cheaper/free to call numbers on the same network. (2) Business phone/family phone. Edit: speaking from my experience in Eastern Europe. I assume it's similar in India.
- rjsw 9y agoEven Western Europe, I have UK and French SIMs.
- marcosdumay 9y agoIn Brazil that would be 90% about (1) and 10% about (2). If you run a small business, you'll also want to connect on all networks, so your clients will have one less reason not to talk to you. (But watsapp has made this point moot recently.)
- panzer_wyrm 9y agoWith three's feel at home their pay as you go is usually ly the best data option in europe. And the other is your main number.
- smcl 9y agoI know that many of the local shops in Edinburgh owned by Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi guys prominently advertised SIMs with special rates for calling numbers in those places. Perhaps it's something like 1 SIM for local every-day stuff, and another for calling your uncle/cousin/sister who's studying or living abroad? Also India is pretty huge perhaps some of the further apart states are considered sort of "abroad" for billing purposes by the carriers.
- panzer_wyrm 9y agoIf you travel a lot - one is for your main phone. The other is local data card you buy at the airport.
