Many modern smartphones have a problem: a combined SIM2 slot with a memory card slot. That is, either a SIM card or a flash drive ...
My main number is . But there is also a Megafon number with reference to all sorts of services like bank clients. I planned to transfer these services to a number in Tele2 and throw out Megafon. But Megafon made a "knight's move" and offered me a 50% discount on the "Turn on! Communicate." At the same time, it includes real unlimited Internet (With the possibility of distributing traffic from the phone and the speed is not cut) and 1100 minutes in Russia per month. Of course, when traveling within the Russian Federation, there are no additional payments. True, I don’t pronounce even 200 minutes a month ...
Now throw out the Megaphone number - the toad crushes. But the desire to free the memory card slot remains.
Then I remembered the old “Multifon” service, but found that only “» with a horse rate of 1,6 rubles. in a minute. The multiphone for ordinary people, as it were, no longer exists.
My inner optimist ordered me to think further. And for good reason. As a result, I received a full-fledged sip account (I can call from a computer) at an adequate rate, SMS are running, the second slot is occupied by a memory card without a file, and the sim itself is in the modem with HiLink.
Service connection.
We connect "Multifon-business" via the USSD menu:
*137#
You will receive an SMS with your SIP account login and password. The service "Multifon-Business" without a subscriber will appear in the list. boards. Required we turn it off either through the "Personal Account" or also through USSD * 137 #
Install the app on your phone eMotion (Android) and activate it.
This application will connect you services "” and “eMotion Messages”. Do not forget to give the necessary permissions to the application and enable autorun.
In the application, activate the "Receive calls and SMS" slider. Now the SIM can be pulled out and put in the box.
If eMotion on your phone is enough for you and you do not need to configure a third-party sip client, then that's all.
But eMotion does not work stably for me, so I configured a SIP client with the following parameters:
On Android 4 and up, there is SIP support out of the box. The location and names of menu items may vary. Therefore, you will have to google the features of setting up your smartphone yourself. We received the password for SIP earlier in SMS. It remains relevant for eMotion as well.

An incoming call looks like this:
Please note that SIP clients do not accept SMS, unlike eMotion.
Configuring a SIP client on a computer
I set up .
If several sip clients are running (on the phone and on the computer), then everyone will ring with an incoming call.
Billing
Oddly enough, but even on the website of the megaphone, information comes across that calls from a SIP client are paid separately.
Do not worry. If you have eMotion service activated, then minutes are taken from your prepaid package.
Routing
Calls and messages can go to either eMotion or a phone with a SIM installed. Or they can go there and there at the same time.
The routing mode can be switched using the widget "»
or a line in the browserRoute calls to phone only
https://sm.megafon.ru/sm/client/routing/[email protected]&password=PassWord&routing=0
only on sip (including eMotion)
https://sm.megafon.ru/sm/client/routing/[email protected]&password=PassWord&routing=1
both on phone and on sip

You can view the current status by driving this address into the browser:

Replace 79231234567 and PassWord with your logs and password from Multifon.
Conclusion
Now I have two phone numbers and one SIM card slot is occupied, and the SIM card from Megafon is in a 4g modem (modified by HiLink) and distributes the Internet at home.
Moreover, at work I sit in a headset and for my convenience I launch X-Lite with my number.
Of course, this scheme has disadvantages. I have been using this scheme for two months and have encountered the following problems:
- SIP is highly dependent on the quality of the internet. Through 4g from MTS there is no voice communication. On Tele2 it is noticeably more stable. Through 4g off and wired internet problems are not noticed.
- Not all SMS are sent to eMotion. Apparently this is a protective mechanism, since they do not come from specific numbers. SMS with a code from Alfa-Bank does not come, and all sorts of "Lenta" and "Metro" - without delay. In this case, everyone reaches the device where the sim is installed. so I will have to change my number at Alfa Bank.
Unfortunately, other operators do not have such a service. At least in Novosibirsk.
Same from Connect says it's not supported in my region...

Do you need SIP from a mobile operator at reasonable rates?
