Ste, looks like somebody needs a phone with two sim slots. :)

Here's an inexpensive option that works really well: UMIDIGI Z PRO

This is what I use. Found it very handy for traveling. Use it as a hotspot for my other stuff. Easy to switch sims from place to place, responds to calls to either sim.

Two sims are only useful for calling other folks in Russia who are on other networks ..

Only one company still does unlimited data, in Russia  - YOTA - and only on a DATA only plan

As stated above, the smart folks in Russia are getting 4G modems ! 

As your missus' is in Russia, get her to buy some WilyFox's  Swift 2X for 11k roubles - they cost 60 percent more here in the UK

I need three slots! But im afraid im apple through and though, i’ll live with if the only real alternative is Android...

Saddo !;)  Triumph of marketing over capability ...









I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

I am thought that you were referring to your partner's situation. But, if you need a 3rd sim then this is what I use: tiny fone There's lots of colours but I chose black/silver.

Pop it in your wallet job's done. Standby is forever. Talk time is great and it can link to Bluetooth if you want.

Could say that Ste is Apple to the core?
