I assume by 'chip' you mean Simcard. Short answer is no. The phone has only one simslot. You can always try a dual-sim card like this: http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_o...rd_platinum.php. They say its I8000 compatible, but I don't know if how or you would use 'internet-only' simcards or what effect it will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you switch to DATA only SIM card you can still use it but on data related things only. Dont ask me the details i am saying in theory it coul work ofcourse you cant make a call using your Data only SIM card but you should be able to surf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eso es imposible Rothariger.... la funcion de usar multiples sims en un telefono GSM, solo te permite tener 1 activo a la vez, para toda la 'radio' del equipo... o sea que no se puede distribuir 'datos' para un sim y 'telefonía/sms' para otro ... Yo pensé también algo parecido, ya que tengo mi linea principal Movistar, que quiero conservar, pero no levanta 3G, y compré una linea Claro que sí levanta 3G (aunque es pésimo, pero esa es otra historia) ... pero veo poco práctico estar activando y reactivando, cada vez que quiero navegar o hablar...

I am not sure if Samsung I8000 could support dual SIM card. Normally phones that allow dual SIM card has a capability to switch between SIM cards automatically. Dunno also if there is a 3rd party dual sim card holder that could do that function. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
