Did you know that India had hit the 1 billion mark in terms of mobile phone subscribers back in October 2015? This is what Forbes reported in a January 2016 article. Another article on Phys.org, an internet-based, research and technology news service, said that dual SIM phones were especially popular in India, given its cost-conscious population. But this is not the only advantage multi-SIM phones offer. Firstly, they give you the convenience of being able to use different networks without having to carry more than one handset. Then there is the advantage of one network offering better coverage in some areas, and another in different areas, so you need never be out of reach. And if you are travelling, all you need to do is get a local SIM and avoid domestic or international roaming charges.
Here is a list of the best dual SIM mobile phones available in India.
