Realme C3 (2020) Questions & Answers
VerifiedMPNs: RMX2020, RMX2020BLUE and RMX2020REDCan a Vodafone Sim be used in the Realme C3 phone??
Does telstra sim card work in realme noarzo 10 phone
How can I change the position of the microphone icon on home screen. When speaking on a call my face often touches this icon and it mutes the call. This is very frustrating.
Honestly, I don't know if it can be changed as I've never tried. In my experience the phone screen disables once the proximity sensor detects the top of the phone is close enough to my ear and then the buttons aren't able to be pushed but it might be a settings thing.
Thank you Tim, I have tried changing settings related to the microphone but no luck yet. I am trying to get in touch with a company representative but no luck there either. Apart from this issue, I quite like the phone.

Do I need to put 2 SIM cards in my new Real Me dual SIM card phone, or can I just use one?
I have an Optus Realme C3 single sim phone and Optus gave me the unlock code and the phone is now unlocked. On the actual Realme Box it says the phone has all the required 3G and 4G Frequencies to work with any network in Australia, however on the Optus cardboard wraparound that came with the phone in small print it says the phone has been modified to work optimally on the Optus network and may not work optimally on other networks if unlocked. Could a staff member from Realme let me know if my Unlocked Optus C3 will work with any sim card. I need to know this to assist me if i make the move to Telstra (ALDI SIM) or Vodafone (Lebara SIM) Thankyou.
Look at Felix mobile (Vodafone) or Amaysim (Optus) they are the BEST and cheapest well established companies around and you can talk or chat to real Humans in Australia if you need Customer Service.
Bought 2 realme C3 from Big W same day, 1 red, 1 blue, blue is unlocked, red isn't how do I get it unlocked, Optus saying it's not locked but it is.
i am unable to help i always buy unlocked and i am not an it person
I have a Realme C3 Rmx2020 , i bought the phone at an Optus store, the second Sim slot didn't work even though it was dual Sim, I rang Optus and they told me it wasn't locked and that it was a fault with phone and should take it up with Realme instead, anyway ended up ringing Optus a few times trying to work out why second Sim didn't work, Optus tech couldn't give me a reason, mangers couldn't either, they insisted it was REALME that was the problem, I rang REALME Australia and explained my problem, guy told me without even having to ask anyone that it was Optus who locked the second Sim because of the package deal that they had with the phone(C3) and if you still have the box the phone came in and read the "Terms and Conditions" it will tell you it's locked in fine print of course, sad thing is the staff who sold me the phone had no idea that was the reason and even more sad was that NO ONE at Optus I spoke to, not even the manager at Tech Department knew about it, you can't be SERIOUS OPTUS!! And I still haven't been able to unlock second Sim and I need it because I'm on a disability pension.
How much ram does it have

Have you got realmeC3

Hi Frank, thanks for getting in touch with us. realme has several devices in the Australian market. The realme C3 (OT) and C21 are available in Optus as pre-paid device, and other devices are available to purchase in open channels.
how to connect home wifi to real me phone
how to connect realme phone to existing wifi
Hi, I got my realme c3 unlocked from Optus, but still second sim slot not showing up. What should be next step?
thanks
No idea. Ask the company you bought the phone from. Sorry.
Hi Jyosh, thanks for getting in touch with us. The realme C3 (Optus) is an Optus pre-paid device with one SIM network compatibility. Even when the device is unlocked, only SIM 1 will connect to the carrier network.
Thank you!
So you guys basically made a phone which has dual sim compatibility... But then also has a version which is identical in appearance but only allows for the one sim card ..... - not only does just one sim at a tone connect... But only one sim card slot....
- which would mean the second sim card slot... On your one line of phones.. Is completely redundant. Like, utterly pointless. But only on some of them. With the distinction not being in any way obvious to customers. Like, nobody says, oh btw, you can get the real me c3, It's a dual sim, 4/64 phone... Except for the ones that go networked locked, yeah, we basically had to go back and then actually make them a shittier phone by going in and badly removing that pesky dual sim feature and taking out 1gb of RAM, figuring that RAM is such a novelty in smart phones that will become less favoured and more useless as time goes on..... Yes.... "
Are you guys all collectively suffering well down syndrome? :/
can only agree with you. the worst buy ever. i have asked for help but none available.
My phone is not locked to Optus, does that mean both sim cards slot should be working?
Hi Lianne, thanks for getting in touch with us. The realme C3 has two versions. If you purchased the device from the open channels, like JB Hi-Fi, it is dual SIM compatible. If the device is purchased from Optus, it is one SIM compatible.
Thank you!
I'm aware of the Optus prepaid C3 only being single Sim. I successfully network unlocked it and have a Telstra Sim & a Vodafone Sim in it now. Did a settings reset. Still no 2 sim options. Both will use volte. Is there a way to make it use the dual Sim/standby capabilities it has somewhere. Did Optus disable dual support? Can it be activated? Can I reload it with the unlocked version of the firmware c3's bought as unlocked came with? There's gotta be a way! Help
well i have 2 sims in my real c3. i get very sick of all the apps that appear and hopefully i have mastered it. it takes great photos. good luck.
Is there a SIMPLE manual for this phone without down loading close to 300 pages of drivel that most people would'nt want to know anyway !!! Just a SIMPLE manual would be nice !!

How to access both Sims I can't receive any reply on one Sim for a duel Sim phone only one sim works at a time
Hi Edward, Thanks for getting in touch with us. If you are using a Optus Pre-paid realme C3, it only supports one sim. But if it is an open channel realme C3, it is dual sim and dual stand-by. Please email your issue and IMEI number to service.au@realme.com, one of our friendly team members will assist you.
Thank you!
How much on-board storage does this phone have?
Hi Brodie, the realme C3 comes with 3GB ram and 64GB internal storage.
Thank you!
Please tell me that on the network locked version (eg from BigW) how I can buy an unlock code. Unlock CODE, not unlocked phone, as the unlocked phone costs up to $80 more.
I would say you'd need to contact Optus, who I believe are selling the "locked" version. Unfortunately they'll probably charge a fee. I think sometimes it's better to buy an unlocked phone just so you don't end up paying to have it unlocked. Another alternative might be to look online to see if there's a workaround. It's certainly a good phone, worth every penny! Good luck!
Hi Mate,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. realme C3 Optus is a pre-paid device locked in Optus network. If you wish to unlock this device, please contact Optus customer service for more information.
I hope this answer will help.
Thank you!
Where have you been 'Need help'? Ebay is your best source of unlock codes - just search with the phone model plus 'unlock'. Android unlocks start at around $US2.00 and range up to $15.00 or so. The most I ever paid was $19 (for a WinPhone)...
Well I have my unlock code but when I put a new network sim in and turn on it only says to ignore or emergency call,not any request for network code. How or where do I do this please.....it's doing my head in.
hi , I bought one yesterday from bigw. hours ago I just messaged chat online with optus ,they give me a unlock code and it has been unlocked successfully within 1 second. Now i can use my telstra card but only one slot working.

I cannot work out how to use dual Sim. I have a prepaid and postpaid Optus Sim in the phone and when I go into the Sim card and mobile data tab only one Sim card shows up. I have swapped them around and again only one card works, I don't even get an option showing up for a second card to be enabled. Both cards work when in slot one but not in slot two. Am I missing something. Also the Sim app section says it unsupported when I go into that tab. I have reset and restarted. I have the red colour. I have tried many Sim toolkits with no luck. Please help!!!
Hi Jay, I have two SIM cards in my phone and not sure how they work,I will ask my local Optus shop and get back to you. Brian
Hi Jay, Thanks for getting in touch with us. realme C3 has two versions, open channel version and Optus Pre-paid. The open channel version, which is available to purchase in JB Hi-Fi etc., supports dual sim dual stand-by. Meanwhile, Optus pre-paid realme C3 is locked in Optus network and it is a single sim device. It you wish to unlock a pre-paid device, please contact Optus Customer Service.
I hope this answer will help.
If you have any other question, please feel free to contact us at fans@realmemobile.com.au
Thank you!
Unfortunately if your phone is locked to the Optus network it will not support two Sims. I have an unlocked model I was given as a gift which works for two Sim cards from two networks.
where do I put the unlock code on Realme C3?
