I recently received my A2104 and have been experimenting with it. I have placed international sims in the phone (Onesim.com) in each of the dual sim slot. I've inserted it as primary and secondary and it works perfectly. I have also had numerous discussions with both AT&T wireless and apple. If you are using a sim card from Greece there is no question in my mind that the dual sim phone will work just fine. I am using AT&T wireless in my primary slot and the international sim in the secondary slot making calls to Europe without a hitch. I was also told by AT&T and Apple that once the esim is activated it becomes transparent to the other network you are connecting to so long as the system has a roaming agreement with your local provider (assuming you will be using the esim as a US phone). If you are considering the US model with Esim, You may have trouble using it in Greece if that is the only account you have. If you place a Greece nano sim in the phone it will work fine so long as you have the simfree unlocked model. I bought the A2104 because I just didn't want to hassle with the possibility of an issue. Having said that, now that I know about the "transparent" esim, I would consider the US model and save some money. I had to pay a premium buying the HK version and have it sent to USA.

After doing some googling, I installed a third party App Store called panda helper. Once installed, you go to settings and trust the app. Then go back and install WhatsApp ++. So far so good, working fine (minus the annoying adds it has).


There’s another app called WhatsApp witusi which many people have used successfully, doesn’t have annoying adds and is supposedly more stable.

You’re welcome. Considering I need my office number to be active on WhatsApp, I decided to give third party app a go or else ends up going back to note 9. From I understand, apple is not too keen on putting dual WhatsApp solution forward like Samsung and various android devices have.


Till then, iPhone dual sim is a great initiative from Apple and should be made commercially available across all countries as esim functionality is not available at every telecom provider.


Enjoy the phone 😊

Yes. I bought it online from https://www.etoren.com/collections/iphone-xs The phone came in just a few days via DHL. Sealed box brand new. Phone was Hong Kong version including UK power adapter. Make sure they sell you HK version because I am told Facetime audio does not with with mainland China version. Not sure where you live but the Kong Kong version has all the bands and frequencies we have in the US. I think the mainland China may be missing a band or two. In any event, These people seem to be very reputable and easy to work with. Enjoy that new Iphone A2104.........

Nope I paid via paypal if I’m not mistaken.


Also for those of you who’ve upgraded to 12.1 on this phone and are using T-Mobile, I had a lot of reception issues with this release wherein it would drop to 1 bar(from 5) and the call would go choppy. I reset the network settings and things seem back to normal now. Hope this helps someone facing this same issue.
