This Unlocked Cell Phones give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Delightful Dual Sim Phone
I bought this dual sim Galaxy Y Duos ($178) after using the single sim SAMSUNG Y GALAXY S-5360 ($125) for a couple of weeks.
Pros:
- Dual sim works flawlessly. Both sims are always on and the Samsung software to manage the sim cards is very easy to master. By pulling down the top curtain you can easily switch which sim is the primarily and thereby choose which sim to call/text from. Also, from the sim setting you can quickly decide which sim should be used for data or turn off the data completely. The dual-sim phone is excellent for frequent travelers that need to handle multiple sims cards without the burden of multiple phones. Also works well for those that want to separate work and private lines without having to carry two phones.
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread (have not heard of any update to ICS 4.x)
- Full functioning Google play market for apps.
- SD slot that takes up to 32 gb (I am using it with 8gb)
- Wifi and bluetooth
- Tethering and...
2. Great For BASIC Texting and Data Roaming
I bought this primarily for texting and prepaid calling. Superb value if texting and prepaid calling are all you care about. Having dual SIM/Dual Stand-by, both SIMs work AT THE SAME TIME. One SIM can use the 3G technology while the other is on 2G (texting, data transmissions) - but both are ACTIVELY running. You can turn OFF either one IF you want to use just the OTHER one.
Being sold already UNLOCKED, I was able to use my both my EUROPEAN SIM as well as my ASIAN SIM. While international roaming text is CHEAPER than international calling for my instant communication in the field (as well as VOIP, email and the likes where you have to wait 'till they power up and their PC and log-on to their email accounts), I was able to knock down costs for important messages needing urgent responses.
If you are the person who needs state-of-the-art technologies in data, picture, sound, internet and WIFI connectivity, this product may not be best for you. But if you are...

Works great, including Square credit card readers
I was able to set up the phone rather easily, in spite of the minimal instructions. I have a T-Mobile SIM with unlimited talk, text, and data in slot 1, and a T-Mobile prepaid SIM in slot 2. I have a mobile business that covers two telephone area codes, and I used to carry two phones. Now I only need one phone for both numbers.
An additional reason for getting the new phone was to get an Android phone that I could set up a Square credit card account on. The Square card reader works great. Customers can sign the transaction right on the touch screen, and get a receipt by email. I love it, as this should enhance my business, while simplifying my life.
The phone came with an adapter to plug European/Asian charger cords into US style outlets, but the charger itself was correct for US outlets.
I just wish more instructional info came with the phone.
Update 7/11/12: This phone has much better reception than my Blackberry. Today I was in an area...
