  • Tempted to pull the trigger on an S21. Can't decide whether to keep the S8 as backup or take the £95 trade-in (screen is cracked) Samsung are offering.

    What's the practicalities of getting a second giff gaff sim and using that while out riding etc.? Presume contacts and everything else connected to google will sync fine, but whatsapp is tied to the phone number, correct?

    It has been a while since I used a dual SIM device but iirc I think whatsapp supports two different accounts on a dual sim phone. As you suggest, you can't share the same account between two sims.

    The most tiresome practicality is that you have to have each giff gaff sim on a separate account. As you say, WhatsApp is tied to a phone number, but for a Jersey-pocket beater that's not really a problem.

    Worth adding, my old S9 was excellent at making it easy to choose which number to use for calls and texts...they do make it really simple to manage things when you have two sims.
