After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
It has only one slot for one nano sim and one micro sd card.
The model is LG G5 H860.
inside the menu there are sim1 and sim2 in 2 different colours. a quick button to toggle between them, It shows that sim2 not inserted.
Does your sim tray look like this?
ok, so I did a little research and it appears you use the sd slot for the 2nd sim.

Some folks are modifying the slots to accept both sim and an SD card:

But it appears you have to sacrifice the sd card for a 2nd sim.

That is odd indeed!
Just looking at the microsd slot....would the 2nd sim fit in there 90 degrees in relation to the sim1?

That doesn't look like a dual-SIM tray to me. Although what does your SIM holder look like on the other side?
This is what they might look like, and should be marked as such. The second space is for "micro-SD" or "SIM2"
LG's India website indicates this version can be dual-SIM.

Possibly there's a single-SIM version with the same model number. Where did you actually buy this phone, in the United States?

Yeh, that's basically what it says.
Dear Mikestony and mikedt
thank you very much for your patience and efforts to help.
After I 've seen the the pictures of dual sim and one sim tray, I checked the tray of my phone again..
and it IS written very tiny on the side of the microSD compartment: SIM2.
The second SIM can be installed instead of the microSD.

Ah, good to hear that you can use a 2nd sim Thanks for the update!
I hope your thread here can help others!
If/when you get a chance, can you post a picture of your particular sim tray? I'm curious as to its appearance.

Can you insert two sim cards and an SD card all at one time in the dual SIM card slot?
No, as the holder only has two spaces in it.
