Honor 6X supports Dual card Dual standby

[vsriram92]

Honor 6X supports only dual card dual standby single pass, which means you cannot use both SIM cards for calls or data services simultaneously.
When you are on a call using SIM card 1, SIM card 2 cannot be used to make or answer calls. If someone calls SIM card 2, the caller will hear a voice message
similar to "The subscriber you dialed is out of the service area" or simlar to that depending on your service provider.

Similarly when you are using SIM card 1's data service, SIM card 2's data service will be disabled.

Why Single Pass ?
Honor 6X single pass feature helps reduce power consumption and increase the phone's standby time.

yes, but sometimes we use one sim for outgoing and another for incoming

That is working fine..If I am on Jio sim for outgoing, I am getting incoming calls on my idea sim and can receive/reject as well.

As you have mentioned JIO, I would like to confirm once whether you are using JIO voice app for outgoing call (LTE voice Call) ?
Bcos, while we are having outgoing call from JIO voice app, If we get any incoming call in 2nd SIM, the JIO data is disconnected which disconnects the call through it.
If we reject the call in that other SIM, then JIO network gets connected and JIO calls gets re-connected (If the intermediate time is less)

Agreed. just tested this..havent came across such situation earlier and got call only once when I was on call on Jio sim. Yes, I use jio4voice app as this is VOLTE phone but doesnt support the jio Volte yet (Chinese variant)
thanks for highlighting this buddy

The same happens with my Honor 5X too. That's why confirmed.
Also, I need to know one thing. VoLTE is different for different networks or regions?

should be regions as bands are mostly the same in one region across different network.

Seems that the chinese variant supports B3 and B40 LTE. So now LTE is getting connected in JIO. But VoLTE doesn't work?

VOLTE work with Jio app only and not regular dialer...seems because its Chinese version and not compatible. heard that Letv also has same issue but was resolved with software update. once we have Indian version binaries out, we will try to upgrade and see.

So to have VoLTE, we need to purchase the device in the respective region. Right ?

Think so..it supports volte based on the band so could be region specific.
