Using Multiple SIM Cards
Your device works with either one or two SIM cards inserted. You get incoming
communication to both SIM cards and you can select which number you want to place
outgoing communication from. Before you can use both SIM cards, you need to enable
them and select which SIM card will handle data traffic.
You can forward calls that come in on SIM card 1 to SIM card 2 when SIM card 1 is
unreachable, and vice versa. This function is called Dual SIM reachability. You must
enable it manually. See

Finding the Identification Number of Your Device
Your device has a unique identification number. This number is referred to as the IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity). You should keep a copy of this number. You
may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™ Care support service to
register your device. Also, if your device is stolen, some network providers can use this
number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.
For devices with two SIM cards, there are two IMEI numbers, one for each SIM card slot.
To View Your IMEI Numbers on the Label Strip
1
Open the cover for the nano SIM and memory card slot.
2
Remove the SIM/memory card tray. Place a fingernail or other object with a long,
fine tip under the edge of the label strip, then drag the strip outward. The IMEI
numbers are displayed on the strip.
You can also view the IMEI numbers by opening the phone dialer and entering *#06#.
To View Your IMEI Numbers via the Device Settings
