Users of Moto G5 Plus

Hi All

The question is, does anybody own a Moto G5 Plus and can you use both sims for BOTH data and calls at the same time?
The OPPO was working before with 2 sims and they have turned off the 2G network, so 2 sim wont work.
Purchased a Redmi X4 thinking 2 sims "should" work but doesn't work the way we expected.
It has dual sim BUT it can only use 1 slot at a time.
One for calls and one for data.

Thanks in advance for any info.

    I have a Moto G4.

    SIMs in both slots work at the same time.

    In Oz I have a VF prepaid data only SIM in Slot 1 and a VF prepaid voice SIM in Slot 2. They both work at the same time because I can check things on Internet while in call. I receive calls on voice SIM but I never make calls on it (80 c/minute). I make calls using Skype (3c/min). (We don't have any living parents or any children so we make very few calls.)

    When overseas I replace SIM in Slot 1 with a prepaid voice SIM. It does have data capability ($250/GB) but I never use it. I have only ever made one call on SIM in Slot 1 when I had a flat battery in Europe (35c/min). Renault Lease Call Centre called me back on SIM 1 (free). I never pick up calls on SIM in Slot 2 ($8/min) but it receives texts for 2FA (free).

    When I was in Singapore last week I was most impressed by text messages from VF on SIM 2 telling me I could use data for $51/MB = $51,000/GB. What a bargain!

  • If you have an F1s, R9 or R9 Plus there is a software update to enable 3G & 4G support: http://www.oppo.com/au/supports/announcement/test

  • Thanks for the both replys,

    Werdnanstaw, need phone AND data on both sims in AUS so not relevant for me.
    Vsixfour, very handy info as I have also got a F1s and will upgrade to android 6.
    Not dual sim but good budget phone.
    According to Oppo, R9 MIGHT work with the new firmware but at $500 , not gonna take the chance.

    Looked at the Motorola forums site, firmware coming (eventually) but won't work out from the box.

    I don't think there is a workable solution since they turned off the 2G networks.
    Telco's really didn't think that through before they pulled the plug!

    Rant over……for the moment anyway!

  • Just an Update……
    Bought the Moto G5 Plus
    Updated the software, and can confirm that it is a dual sim, both data and voice at the same time.
