Philippine Cell Phones

True dual sim phones are now available in the Philippines:

With the recent introduction of MyPhone T22 Duo, the first dual active SIM mobile phone in the Philippines, one can move seamlessly from one line to another without a hitch.

What’s great about this phones is that it can access two cell phone networks. Why is this important? Many Filipinos now usually carry either a Smart/Globe cellphone and then a Sun Cell phone.   They Sun cell phones typically allow unlimited calls and SMS messages. Families now have Sun phones to regularly communicate with each other. Yet, people still keep their old Smart/Globe lines for business or personal use.

I’ve seen one of the dual phones around and it shows two active bars for the two sim networks. They also have two different address books for the sims. Expect a lot of Pinoys to begin using these gadgets.
