Im in the need of a dual sim phone for business - well to run 2 Business's from one phone

Would like it to be piss easy to use, and if possible notify you which sim the incoming call is for so I answer it correctly

Huawei P8 or P8 Lite. P8 would be better memory wise as you lose the microsd slot if using two sim cards. Even lists the Sim number in the missed call logs.

Dunno ho weasy to use/switch between them, but the Samsung S7 is dual sim, but then you cant run an sd card.

I'm curious, what situation would require you to need two sim/numbers in one phone?

Not wanting to have separate phones for business and personal, or in this case 3 phones.
Having separate numbers give you control over privacy and use.

FYI some phones over in China (probably Huawei models) hold up to 4 sims.
In a a couple years simless numbers will be a thing, in which case I think it will become more common.

I've got an HTC M8 equivalent dual sim. Model is HTC One E9. Cost $500 from HK. Can look up seller if you want info. Arrived in 48 hours. As it's made by HTC everything runs well. Only issue is it's a plastic body v metal for normal M8 but very happy with it. Uses almost every 4G band worldwide bar a couple of strange ones in US and Europe. 4G only runs on one sim. Other is 3G only but that's the same with all dual sim phones. Shows which SIM is receiving calls.

edit - they are below $400 now.

have a LG g3 dual sim. bought new for 350 from Kogan during an ebay special

only thing i dislike about it is the fact its not dual 4g sim. So if someone sends your a picture sms to your non 4g sim or you want to send one yourself, you need to go through settings to change the sim data preference.

Other then that i love the phone and the dual sim fuctionality

To the best of my knowledge, after extensive research, there is no dual 4G sim phone on the market.

My guess would be that having two 4G networks operating simultaneously would cause interference issues.

Is the data side really needed for the business one? Won't you just be worried about calls/sms?

two phones for 2 stand alone business's.
One is a franchise, one isnt.
Need to be able to send and receive photos, vids on each as a lot of work requests come in this way.

keep in mind to, that in majority of dual sim phones, 1 sim uses 4G, the 2nd sim uses 2G.
Telstra are switching the 2G network off near end of this year.
