If you have two mobile phones for example a personal mobile phone and a work mobile phone, you may find it annoying having to carry both mobile phones around with you. And there is also the cost that is involved in having to purchase two mobile phones, or having to take out two mobile phone contracts.

MegaBuyStore have revealed the E71-MFU-Quad Band dual sim card mobile phone. The E71-MFU-Quad Band works just like a standard mobile phone, but instead of reading just one sim card the E71-MFUreads both sim cards, simply put both sim cards are active at the same time. This should allow you to make and receive calls/text messages to both of your sim cards from the same handset.

Not only does it have dual sim capabilities, it also boasts a 2 mega pixel camera, video recorder, MP3 player, FM radio, qwerty and micro SD card.

Another handy use for the E71-MFU would be if you had a personal or business sim card, and an international sim card (that gives you cheaper calls to abroad). This would save you having to swop between mobile phones when making your international calls. 

The E71-MFU will be available in mirror silver and dark silver colour schemes.
