GoFone puts People first

The People Hub on Windows Phone is more than just a digital address book. It helps you connect and stay in touch with the people you care about while cutting through clutter to show you the information that really matters.

Dual SIM for Work & Home

With a dual SIM Windows Phone, you have more choices when it comes to your mobile network connection. Choose which SIM you want to use based on which one has a better price for mobile data or where one mobile network gives you a better signal than the other.

On a dual SIM phone, you’ll get two Phone Tiles and two Messaging Tiles on your Start screen, so you can just tap the Tile for the SIM you want to use to call or text
