Review: Nexa Vega N4 Smartphone (Part 2 – Using a Dual SIM Phone)

Topic - Android

In my previous post I did the unboxing of the Nexa Vega N4 phone that I was able to demo to a few people at my office. This post is about the real reason why I wanted a phone like this…dual SIM functionality!

If you are one of those people who have two phones, one for work and one for personal you will know how frustrating it can be having to carry two phones around.  If you are one of those people who use one SIM card for data and another for making calls you will also know how frustrating it can be SIM swopping all the time. Well stress no more!

The Nexa Vega N4 allows you to choose which SIM to use to make calls, video calls, SMS (or Messaging) or Data Connection.

Please note that I have edited these screen shots (just blanked out the phone numbers) otherwise it is as you would see on the screen.

As you can see there management of naming the SIM’s and colour coding them is very easy and helps when identifying which SIM you want to use.

How to Make a Phone Call

Making a phone call is extremely easy. Type the number in and press the dial button, you can then select which SIM card to use. (PS: See that dial button on the bottom right, the one with the screen next to the handset…well believe it or not that is for video calling).

 How to send a SMS (Text Message)

As with making a call, it is extremely easy to send a text message. Type up the message and then click the Send button. A SIM selection window pops up and you select which one to use!
