Use your work and personal number at the same time

The first time you lay your eyes upon this phone, the Duobao 728, it won't look like anything special. Needless to say, looks are often deceiving and this cell phone does come with pretty special features. The dual-band mobile phone works with 2 SIM cards at the same time.

Therefore, you'll have no problem using the phone for two separate phone numbers that can actually even be on two separate networks.

You will be able to take calls as well as messages from both numbers on just one mobile phone, which is very convenient because you won't have to walk around with two different phones.

Obviously, when you receive a phone call from one of the two lines, any calls on the other line will automatically be redirected to voicemail.

But this is a pretty small price to pay for being able to have your work and personal SIM cards in the same phone, being able to take calls from both.

Some might be familiar with dual SIM card adapters, that are generally compatible with most mobiles, but even though such an adapter is worth considering, the Duobao 728 already comes with this capability without having to get anything extra.

Aside from this 'special' feature, the phone also comes with a 2.2 inch touchscreen with a QVGA resolution (Chinese manufacturers include touchscreens in just about any phone, don't they?), a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion and a VGA camera for taking snapshots.

The Dubao 728 phone that works with two sim cards at the same time is currently available in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for around $170.
