My father is a very busy doctor and as a result, he has patients calling him at odd times of the day, which pisses him off. So he would like to have two sim cards, one for patients and the other one for personal use.

He would like a dual sim phone, which would allow him to receive calls from both sims during the day, but receive calls from only one sim(from which he would take personal calls) during odd hours(midnight for example :-|) and would not receive calls from the other sim(basically switch the other sim off)

Is there such a phone which would allow him to do so?

Its really urgent..my dad is literally dying of frustration!

Get any Dual sim phone and Keep one sim switched off (or in Airplane mode)


A economical phone-
Nokia India - Nokia C2-00 - Dual Sim mobile phone

It has only a single sim mode and other sim must be off. I think it should be enough

^^But the phone must have a mode where two sims can be active at the same time, along with a mode where one sim can be switched off, while the other remains active.

i think any mobile that have dual standby will allow one sim to be turned off. i'll check it tonight & report.
