Dual-SIM GSM phones are quite common, or were a few years back when 
last I looked. They seemed to make them mainly for the East Asian market.

I have one - a Jolla C, which runs Sailfish. I still use it occasionally 
as a phone. It was made in India though sold in Europe and the US. Like 
most dual-SIMs it receives calls on either radio provided you're not 
speaking on the other. I can elect which SIM to connect data to or 
connect to the car music player. I used it - and perhaps will again - 
to connect to both a UK roaming SIM and a local, say Greek, SIM for 
local calls.

I wish my iPhone were dual-SIM. There must be some marketing reason why 
Apple never made any, given their popularity in some places. The 
reason I use an iPhone 5s now it is it's smaller - 4 inches - I was 
given it, and the GPS is much better. And I'm stuck in the UK!

The term remains, though in a form I suspect most people don't 
recognise: the default noise a lot of 'phones make when they receive a 
text is a series of bleeps - which is actually Morse code for SMS, or 
short message system.

(I did a double-take there, thinking you were referring to the 
electrical contacts on the SIM!)

My first GSM phone was a Siemens S3 COM which took a full credit-card 
sized SIM
