P20 Pro single sim ?

[doromax]

Hi, I just buy a Huawei P20 pro from an Italian carrier (wind) with an offer (sim + phone). I open the phone to insert the nano sim card and I see that this phone is single sim ! I read everywhere that the P20 Pro is dual sim and capable of 4g with all the sim.
Now I just have to buy the bay for the double sim or there is a phone version with only one SIM and I can not do anything?
In the event that I can install the bay for 2 sim, do you think it is the same as the Mate 10 pro? because for now I find only that and it seems the same ...
I hope you can help me.

You might have a problem with IMEI numbers, as the single SIM version probably only has one. That is an issue on Samsung's phones anyway, so even though the hardware could support it it won't work as there is only one IMEI.

thanks for replay. But, if you know, Huawei P20 PRO single-sim exist ? Or this is the first case you know ?
Someone else who have sigle-sim phone ?

Hi, I read on some Italian reviews that there is a single-sim version, but i think it refers to the carrier modified ones.
I have done the same thing with TIM and it's single sim.
It seems that they always sell single-sim versions of their branded phones.

There are two versions of the phone, from the Huawei site:

CLT-L09C: Single SIM Card
CLT-L29C: Dual SIM Card

For you, if I try to buy the sim-tray for two sim, the phone can see the second sim ?

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, for the mate 10, for example, you had to rebrand it and flash another firmware to go from single to dual sim. On stock it definitely won't work.
But again, if it's a completely different model with just one sim slot there's nothing you can do about it.

Vodafone Germany has single sim, MediaMarkt Germany has dual sim, been there this morning.

You can rebrand it and get dual sim working. Visit duraaraa thread in Guide and News sub

I was going to buy a dual-sim version but read that the P20 Pro second sim only works in 2G modes and does not work with 3G/4G.

Can anyone confirm this?

i've used the phone in dual 4G before, i think it supports 4G for both, or at least for the model i'm using now

you can't jail break an Android phone, that's a crApple issue. You can rebrand from CLT-L09 to CLT-L29 and obtain a dual SIM tray from an auction site of your choice. There are a couple of ways to accomplish this, search this forum for rebranding, both methods require some skill and I advise you to research them thoroughly.
