A new mobile phone launched last week with an interesting proposition — two SIMs running on the same phone at the same time. While this idea is not actually new in the Philippines, Verzio wants to penetrate a the aggressive mobile market in the country.
Funny thing happened when I was heading for the press launch last week — got stuck in traffic due to a downpour and when I got the only remaining parking spot near the place, the security guard turned me away (he says it was reserved for another resto). So I headed back home. *heh*
Anyway, dual-sims have been around for ages. Enterprising mobile vendors in GreenHills have been selling them for years while others hack existing (esp. Nokia models) phones to be able to support two SIM slots. In fact, there have been mobile units which offer triple and even quad SIM (yup, 4 SIM cards in one phone!) from China spotted at VirraMall.
What Verzio is trying to do is addressing the growing market of dual-SIM culture in the Philippines. One model, the Duplii, is even 3G capable. Because of the eat-all-you-can promos being offered by Smart, Globe and Sun, consumers are encouraged enticed to carry an extra SIM card or sometimes even have two phones altogether.
So, it’s only economically sound to just get a single phone to hold your 2 SIM cards right? Well for most people, maybe yes. However, I can also see several reason why people have 2 numbers:
- One is a public number and one is a private number. (me!)
- Others have a personal number and another office number. (24/7 tech support, people working for telcos or related industries)
- Some have a dedicated number just for their special someone. Or, the other secret special someone (aha!).
- Hard core SMS users who only have Php15 a day budget for texting. (Text-chatters popularized by Sun Cellular’s All-Day All-Night Promo)
- And those who don’t actually need two numbers but are more gravitated to having two phone units because of specific features. (A QWERTY or Smart phone and a regular slim phone.)
The Verzio Duplii retails for P14,990 (US$ 350) while the Verzio Twinn, P11,990 (US$ 280). As for me, the benefit of having two phones is that I can turn off the other (public) one when I don’t want to be disturbed. *guilty*
It will be interesting to learn how much percentage of the market segment can Verzio attract — the selling point being it’s a cheap dual-SIM capable phone. So, let’s take a quick poll from our readers here who have 2 mobile numbers. Will you go for a Verzio or stick with your 2 mobile phones.
Guys,
Pwede ba mag create ng new folder under message sa verzio phone? no china phone and even myphone is capable of doing so. Pls give me feedback. Thanks.
…follow up lang po.
you may text me thru 090539*****.

Hi Mr. hot…just read your msg…thank you for replying…i’ll try to check my smart gprs settings…God bless!
hi po… share ko lang po… i brought my duplii to the smart service center in alimall and they were able to activate its 3g…
pahabol po, type u sa APN Smart1. txt me if it worked!
hi there yam! nabasa ko na po ung txt u, kaso ala pa me load kaya di me makareply, bukas po magload nako,:-). with regards to your question, di ko po talaga mapagana ung mms settings ng smart sa duplii, dinala ko na din sa smart business center pero di daw nila supported pa. ung gprs naman, try mo punta sa settings, then goto data profiles, then edit data profile, then select smart gprs, sa IP, type u 010.102.061.046, un po kasi ginawa dati ng taga smart po. pero pag globe ok naman nakapagsend pa nga me ng mms. ung smart ko nilagay ko na lang sa nokia n82 ko po. hope na natulungan po kita.
Hi there mr. Hot! im a verzion duplii user…it is not yet supported with MMS and GPRS settings by smart…if u know the configurations pls send it to me…thank you very much
> correction po pla… ang 2999 na torque sa macro at d80 not d100
>psensya na po… i didnt know that torque had other dual sim models :>
>macro cubao is selling torque dual sim for 2999… it might just be the cheapest dual sim in the market
note: i still dont have this fone… so i have no idea abt its mechanics, waranty nor quality
Guys, check out the new brand of dual SIM – TORQUE. Heard from retailers in MOA that chief engineer of Verzio Duplii is now with TORQUE. I searched it in the web and can see 4-5 models in their website. Maybe a better alternative? Pls comment…
Guys, have you heard of new upcoming brand TORQUE in the market. Most retailers in MOA are now recommending this brand as they say it’s their fastest selling due to price and quality. I asked Verzio they say better get TORQUE as Verzio is not releasing phones anymore for almost a year now. Pls give comments.
>i’ll sell you my twinn… yon eh kung makukuha ko pa sa mula sa service center… since mar 7 pa po yon don n till now d pa rin nila ibinabalik… (gud luck!!!)

sino nagbebenta ng verzio twinn diyan? bilhin ko 3k, seriously.. i really want one..
I’m planning to get a Verzio phone kaya i checked if ok the unit, LOOKS LIKE NOT GOOD THE PHONE MORE PA, THE AFTER SALES SERVICE… I think the after sales people are not that service oriented… Yes, one factor yan to get the company looses sales… too bad for the company.. To the stockholders of VERZIO Phone, better change your service personnel or you company will be FUCKED UP!
saan po ba makakadownload ng games ay anu po ang malapit na katulad ng VERZIO TWINN??
i went to sm pampanga and robinsons san fernando before and i found out that verzio twinn is out of stock.. i saw verzio duplii being sold at 4950-4970 at edgecom.. do you think it’s worth it? wooh.. if only duplii is priced a bit lower, i might buy it..
sShysky, thanks.. para kasing mas maganda yung dating ng twinn eh.. how much kaya? i wonder if available yun sa sm dito sa pampanga..
top… ms ok po ang verzio sa fake na fones… bt i suggest get a duplii rather than a twinn mas matibay kc (plus radio n 3g) and konti lang ang price difference… another tip (if u really want a twinn)… sa service center ka bumili wag sa makro… just in case mgkatopak ang fone mo… may option ka na mag upgrade to duplii
sino po nakakaalam kung saan sa pampanga makakabili ng verzio twinn? wag lang sa makro.. masyadong malayo sa san fernando yun eh.. may nakita kasi akong verzio duplii and it is being sold at P5,190.. tanong ko lang po, mas desente naman po ba yung quality niya kaysa sa mga fake nokia ? thanks ^^
jcc eto nga pala cp number ko, 092893*****. di ka talo d2 kasi ang battery nito umaabot ng 48 hours basta light txting at col. guarantee ko yan, just txt ur nasl.
>got my twinn replacement (mar 27) bt it was worst than my original unit (unit was nt brand new dahil sa malalim na gasgas sa side/ my topak ang touch screen/ nagshot down/ at marami pang iba!!!) i returned it the next day only to w8 until forever yata for the replacement (AGAIN!!!) dahil till now wla pa din
>sayang i love the twinn pa naman 4 its functions and price but (given na malas lng ako sa unit) sobrang tagal and PANGIT ng “after-sales” service nila… aside from wlang kasiguruhan when mo makukuha ang unit mo, sira pa ang replacement unit na ibabalik sa iyo… oo nga pla… wla ka din mabibiling accessories sa service centers nila lalo na sa ibang lugar)… including batt…
>btw even their personels act as if wlang kuwenta ang units nila…
>advice: if ur planning to buy or u already own a verzio (it doesnt matter what unit or item it is) ingatan nyo because their “after-sales”/warranty is a NIGHTMARE
>maybe repairing your unit for more than a month and not giving you a pickup date is their STANDARD PROCEDURE… ganon din b sa iba???

for those who are considering buying verzio phones, forget it!!!! kung gusto nyo ng dual sim, mag nokia na lang kayo bili kayo 2 units, yun na!!!
pero in fairness ha, kasama ang verzio duplii sa postpaid units na pwede makuha sa smart.
i purchased a verzio dual sim touch screem handset last december 16, 2008. i was so excited in using it, however to my dismay it was faulty in regards ti its lcd, it turns black and freezes. i bought it to the nearest verzio shop in sta rosa laguna. the verzio technician told me that its flex cab needs to be replaced, if not it will be replace with a new same model. it has been a month, i go back to get it from that shop. i stayed inside the store to test whether is totally fixed but suddenly it goes back to the same fault it had. another thing, i observe that the battery was different from the new battery it had before i surrendered it. i had no option but to leave the phone for another season of fixing. i expected that it will take another month of fixing. i called the verzio shop, according to the lady i spoke with, there is no update yet of the said phone, it there is they are going to text me. in the contrary, i never received any sms when i tried getting the phone…. i do not have that up to this day…. it is so annoying!!! i purchased it without any hassles in my behalf but verzio gives a customer like me foul burdens with that bloody phone…. it is ridiculous!!! it was brand new but bloody because it is faulty until now….i can file a complaint to the ombudsman against verzio if i like to….. it was so ridiculous!!!!!! verzio will not prosper if it continues rendering faulty phones to its consumers….
im selling my verzio twinn for P3500 fixed price!
complete package, rarely used phone, 98% scratchless 0916-266-0256 QC
Verzio Twinn is no longer available @ makro, automatic center and sm appliance center, they’re out of stock. I called Haldane’s office @5211111 and their sales manager told me that verzio will no longer reproduce Twinn model. He advised me to go to Festival Mall in alabang or in the fort, they still have stocks in their stores for P5490 and P5990 for Duplii
Update lang on my Duplii phone that i posted last December:
Haldane (the company that distributes Verzio) replaced my phone and charger a for a new one but i don’t know kung malas ako or what pero I was monitoring the power consumption of the “new” phone and I found the same problem with this phone (i.e discharging at 10-12 hours after being fully charged) This is by using the two SIM slots. The same problem was observed when I used the SIM 1 slot only. However, when I used the SIM 2 slot, the power/battery lasted for 3 to 4 days.So now I’m using it as a single SIM phone. I wrote to Haldane about it last month but there is still no reply uptil now… so for those intending to buy verzio duplii…2 SIM technology seems to be not that sound or stable yet…
Hi,
I was bored and started walking along selendra, bonifacio heights, last night and to my suprise there’s a VERZIO shop. I’m tired having 2 units.. I keep losing them *sigh* I end up buying a dual-sim fone VERZIO duplii at P5990.
Dunno if this is in line with the topic but does anyone here saw the myphone tv phone thing. Its like an iphone where its a touch screen. Has anyone bought that or ever saw one yet. Thanks. Its a dual phone .

nawala kasi yung isa kong phone kasi dalawa palagi ang bitbit kong fone yung isa sun yung isa globe.
by the way where can i get a verzio fone at 3999.
im from quezon city by the way
i have a verzio twinn and i got it from macro last november 2008. the features are good except for the camera and the battery. i tried the bonifacio heights service center but they dont have accessories for the unit. i dont know if verzio is really serious in distributing their product since they have a service center but they dont have accesories for the units they are selling. they know that the battery sucks and what makes it worst is that they dont sell spare battery and this is what stopping me from recommending the unit/brand to anybody.
Hello Mr. Rommel Sorry po sa bad experience nyo sa after-sales namin.Meron po kasi kami sinusunod na Repair center standard procedure. kahit po sa ibang leading brand ganun din po ang standard procedure nila. Hindi po talaga kasi basta pede palitan ang unit kapag lagpas na po sa 7 day,s . dadaan na po sya sa repair process.katulad po ng kaso nyo, intermittent po ang sira nya.since intermittent po at warranty naman po obligation namin palitan yung handset.
Can anybody help me? I have just bought the twinn yesterday and I am loving it except for one thing. In the messages section of the phone… Senders Name on the texts I receive does not show the name… its shows only part of the message it contains instead senders name. Its like in the nokia phones when someone texts u when you have not placed the number on your phonebook….
Is there any way to fix this??
>>ika:
are you trying to ask how could you put some music in your phone? you could put some music by receiving via bluetooth or via usb port (just copy paste)
do you have an idea how to put some java apps? bluetooth is not working when it comes to java apps
even though according to the user’s manual it could
hi. can somebody teach how i could download free music to verzio twinn and where is the service center here in the phil.tnx a lot.
guys the phone is great but I’m wondering how can I put some java apps via usb port and/or bluetooth… i tried to do it but its not working,,, pls advise thanks!
>first of all… i love this phone… so far ok sya (dec’08)…
>ANG NEG: d sya msyadong txt friendly (kc dami pinipindot), wobbly ang slider, d napapalitan na housing and sobrang iksi ng txt tone…
>but other than that…. 4 the price, expandable memory, slider & touch screen pacute, lakas ng speaker and dual sim capability…. ok na ok sya….. sana nga lang matibay kc medyo bago pa yong unit ko
oops, correction…I wrote to them Jan 1, 2009
I have bought a Verzio Duplii last June 2008 and it was working fine until this December 2008 when I found the phone’s power supply seem to be discharging in less than 24 hours (10- 12hours to be exact). I brought the phone to Verzio Bonifacio high street for repairs but the problem seems to be recurrent after getting it back after 2 weeks. I have been going back and forth several times to their store from Batangas city trying to beat the date of my near departure abroad. The company has not yet replied to my request for replacing my defective unit since writing to them last Jan 1, 2008.
So far, i’m not impressed with Verzio’s after sales service and their phone as well.
just bought this phone recently. Very good phone. i like the feature which have security code for text messages and your private files wherin no one can see your personal stuffs esp. your wife, i recommend to guys who have CHICKS SHOULD BUY THIS PHONE which will protect you from being caught by your wife. i guarranteed 100% safe to use, no matter what you put in your cp, it will be safe with a security code. This is the first time i have seen this features in a cp.REALLY GREAT.
For those in Cebu City, Twinn is also available for P3,990 at TechTarget in Ayala Mall. It is located opposite SONY and right before you make an exit to the Terraces.
How about the display resolution of twinn? Is it nice? Can the 1.3MP of it’s camera performs well? I plan to buy one this week at Macro Cubao…
Does anybody know online stores selling Verzio Duplii and shipping to Hong Kong? I checked many sites but could not find it.
cy:
Sa Graphics (main store) po…in Capt. V. Roa Street, across Gaisano city or any Graphics stores located in Limketkai Center, SM City or Gaisano City.
okay ba ang verzio twinn? Plan ko kasing bumili. I heard negative comments about the slider hindi ba prone masira? How is the performance of the phone in terms of reliability and build? I can buy this for 3800 pesos. if not for the dual sim, is it still a better phone in terms of features compared to nokia and sony ericson in this price range?
rcsaint:
where in cagayan did you buy ur verzio twinn?
there’s a verzio twinn, duplii, and envii selling in iligan but i think the price is too much …
By the way can anyone help me on the MMS settings because I can’t seem to send a picture via MMS…I have been using SMART but I hear SMART is not able to send MMS with this (I tried to “GET MENU” from smart but it was not supported) Anyone have any luck sending MMS with this phone? and by what provider?
Thanks
I got mine at MACKRO in Cebu City for 3999.99 pesos….too bad smart doesn’t support MMS setting on it….I’ll try globe
Thanks for the reply. Just wondering, do Verzio twinn cost 3990 ? Was looking for that price but nowhere to be found. CAn u guys give an info .
skiebug:
I’m sure you can find one there in Manila, maybe in your friendly Greenhills neigborhood. Please let me know where i can buy an extra battery and charger for the twinn. Thanks in advance!
jopez:
I can’t say if Verzio twinn is better that MyPhone S22, but if you google it, some people are saying that the twinn is better than the S22. In terms of appearance, I think the twinn is more elegant-looking than the S22. By the way, the verzio twinn that i bought comes with a one-year warranty from where i got it.
carol:
verzio twinn can take in 2 gig micro sd card. i bought mine from cd-r king at 250 pesos with no adapter. maybe it can take in higher capacity micro sd card, but i haven’t tried it yet.
jopez:
it’s a good and reliable fone if you can live with its not-so-good slider fit and not-so-friendly software (texting lang naman). It’s also quite heavy but its better than carrying two phones. Speaker is very loud and even better than my mp3 player. U can browse or text while the mp3 player is playing. U cannot use bluetooth headset for listening mp3 player, only for calling. U can record ur call conversation with this fone which I find nice. U can also program this fone to turn off and turn ON to save battery…beats my laptop pc! At 3,9990, this thing is SWEET!
bro, Is verzio twinn good? I’m looking for a dual sim and it came down to 2 choice, the twinn and myphone s22. Anyone has a comment. Plus where in manila can i buy twinn with the 3990 price tag. Thanks
thanks rcsaint! i live here in makati cdo is too far from me anyway, many thanks for the info. will try to source extra batt for you…warmest regards
skiebug:
i bought mine in cagayan de oro city from graphics center.
zyx verzio:
do you know wer i can buy a verzio twinn spare battery? i can’t find here in cdo city.
do you know wat’s the passcode for the bluetooth of verzio twinn? i can’t pair it with my pc’s bluetooth. Thanks in advance!
there is a WCDA and GSM slot.. in short, if you have dupli and your in US you could use the WCDA slot for the US local sim……. and the GSM slot for your smart, globe etc.. roamed sim.. cnxa na sa mga wrong spelling earlier, lunch braek na gutom na tlaga..
hi, guys the Twinn current price is only 3,990 the dupli still at 12,990.. im from Bacolod city im not verry fammiliar to some other authorized stores outside visayas that also carry Verzio product.. but if you finding hard time finding one, i could also provide you just add up for shipment fee via air21 for philippines area. unfortunately, the twin doeast work to other country specially america, europe, autralia, japan.. in short limited only to selected asian country.. the Verzio dupli could would on othuer country, if you had further question feel free to hitn me back.

where did you buy your twinn @PhP 3,999? Will appreciate it much. Thanks!
hello..expandable up to how many GIG po ang twinn? thanks :)
And how long is the battery life for each battery included on the package? Let’s say when i’m playing music/fm radio, or texting or having a phone call nonstop
And how loud is the spekerphone?
Is it also able to do multi tasking? like playing the music files while texting/navigating the menu/ fixing our phonebook.
Uhm.. is the price of P9K+ (My memoxpress shop)reasonable for a duplii? if not, where can i buy a reasonably priced handset. I’m really considering to buy that unit.
How about the front camera? is it comparable to the front camera of LG 3G for all hadset (KU250 i think)?
does it also support wav music files?
how many sms can be save on the phone memory?
Verzio twinn is now only P3,999.00. I bought one yesterday and i like it so far except for the not-so-good slider fit (gumagalaw) and too many keys to press just to send an sms. Other features of the phone are comparable to branded cellphones. I like the security feature of the phone too, you can password protect your phonebook, messages and other files from the prying eyes of your girlfriends or wives…hehehe!
diba active both sim?
may available ako bnew na verzio twinn 5000 lang.. complete package and sealed.email me @ jek_****@****.***
compare to myphone, i can see better feedback for verzio, last time i checked in gateway shop price is down to Php5500, one thing i forgot to ask, if this phone is video ready?
i have the same question as nujnuj. other dual sim phones like samsung kasi, though a triband phone, only one of the sim slots is really triband. the other slot only supports dual sim. if that’s the case and you’re in the US, only 1 of your sims will work (Globe/Smart or US SIM)
I dropped by their office in Singapore to look at Duplii last week, but when i decided to buy it yesterday the place looks deserted. Their dummy phones on the shelves are all gone. So i wondered are they packing-up?
So i decided not to buy it as if they are closing down.
Just wondering if this will work sa US? currently nasa US ako and I have 2 phones 1 is ung smart ofw sim and the other one is ung At&t.
will this surely works? because if yes papabili ako right away!
last time i checked, duplii’s about 12k and twinn’s about 8k.
yep, Smart, Sun and Globe 3g/MMS/GPRS settings are built-in to the phone. For GPRS, you just have to choose the correct mobile provider’s browser profile.
will it easily configure 3g, mms, and gprs settings from all local telecom networks?
What is the current market price given that this post was originally written November of last year?
how about the duplii,can i use this phone in the US,korea and japan?plz reply asap coz nex week im joining my ship in japan.
Yes MMS for Verzio is both slots, just checked.
Is verzio capable of MMS for both SIM 1 & SIM 2 slots? Myphone can only run MMS for SIM 1 slot. :(
Attended Verzio’s Fiamma event a week ago.
Difference between Verzio Duplii and other Chinese dual SIM phones incl. Myphone:
Uses branded processor, Qualcomm for 3G and Philips NXP for GSM which is similar to the likes of Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Others are using MTK which is similar to Bird or CECT.
Triband while others are Dualband.
Phone contacts incl. 1000 names, 2000 e-mail adds and 3000 numbers plus other fields, other dual SIM phones are 800-1000 names and 800-1000 numbers only.
Can use PC Suite to tansfer to and fro MS Outlook incl. contacts and all fields, others cannot.
Bluetooth vcard contact transfer includes all fields ‘send/receive all’ or ‘one by one’ in one click, while other brands is number only, you need to input name manually one by one.
User friendly interface similar to branded phones, other phones are using Chinese standard menu.
Real megapixel camera as stated, all others incl. Myphone is interpolated VGA claim to be 2MP.
These are just a few of what they presented so others I cannot remember. Hope this helps.
hi abe, didn’t do a back read of your posts yet but how does it compare to the myphone dual SIM?

While at first multi-sim seems convenient and better, but if you think deeper and in the long-run, having multiple phones is the right way.
For one, I haven’t seen a multi-sim phone (add-on support or built-in support) that can let you text and/or call at the same time for both sims. Which is possible if you have two phone units. Not that it matters (although for me it does matter – being a busy person), in the long-run, if one unit breaks down, you still have another unit to use (and exchange sims).
And if i may add having 2 unit is better specially in times of trouble. Gave my motorola phone (which is a lot cheaper from my nokia phone) to the thief who mugged me two weeks ago. And yes thanks to MOTOrola :-)

With one unit with multi-sim support, if it breaks, then all your sims are useless.
Secondly, I don’t know how Verzio will tap the Pinoy market, considering, as you’ve said, we’ve known and seen multi-sim features way way back – both as an add-on and as a built-in feature. In the end, having multiple phones prevailed (especially now, phones are cheaper [thanks to MOTOrola!!]).
dual sim.. with 3G.. now that’s tempting.
Its nice to have a dual SIM functioning at the same time. You can use different networks and take its advantages to your limits. I believe more pinoys will be interested on this m-phones soon…
Now I don’t feel bad coz I’m not the only who missed the 7.1 megapixel digital camera they were giving away. Hehe :D
If the dual sim system really works, then I’d go for it. My past experience with dual sim phones isn’t exactly that wonderful.
I haven’t tried the Verzio, though.
I’m hoping someone will share their favorable experience with this dual sim wonder.
how much?
Solid Broadband Corp’s myPhone,

But verzio’s model is better with 3G :P
That is nice actually so I don’t need to use two phones or switch sim cards. While I am here in the Philippines I use 2 sims like one Globe and a Norwegian sim which i usually use when I call back home.
Ako nga rin muntik nang itaboy ng guard because I parked in front of the driveway (*typical female). But I lied and said I’ll only be in a Fiamma for a few minutes. Well I guess in this case, resourcefulness pays. Regards Abe :P
akala ko sabay mo magamit ang dalawang sim at the same time…meron kasi na feature sa TV na ganon…back to back ang lcd screen. :-)
Wow! One nice m-phone I’m looking forward to. For me, it’s always better to have and enjoy 2 m-phone numbers which is functioning at the same time. Using different networks is an advantages for my mobile consumption. People will be more interested on this stuffs in days to come…
Abe, you forgot to write about the prices.
