If you get Orange's Line Two, then you can make and receive on either number. I would think that it's become less popular over the years as all prices have dropped; I don't know that the Line Rental for this would make it attractive anymore.
I have a phone on OVP Virgin and asked about a Line Two about 3 years ago - not with OVP plans
But ask in the shop, as we're probably all out of date on the latest picture.
If you go for a dual SIM, you'll only have one line in use at a time. I've got 2 phones.0 -
I used to have on the nokia 8210 or 8310 2 lines at no extra cost - this was useful especially as the only place that had my other no. was work - he he!
Great coz I work in IT and am sometimes on call or sometimes jsut plain skiving!0 -
You are right! Orange will give you 2 lines. Most of the handsets are compatible. You can either use 1 tarriff and split the calls between the 2 lines - paying an extra 12.50 per month, or have 2 different tarrifs on the same handset.
A much easier way than switching between sim cards.
I just bought the Nokia 3230 - just in today - and the orange handset is set up for 2 lines.0 -
I've confirmed with my freind and it is line 2. He said that it works great the only downside being he can't sned text messages on one of the numbers but can receive on both.
Nice little feature and I might move to Orange once my contract expires as this is a feature that I could use to split business and personal calls.Regards
