    Orange had a great many innovations (like Wildfire for voicemail) but mostly they just gave up on innovation and merged with the herd...
    Actually, Orange likewise planned in summer 2010 to abolish Personal Line in September 2010, but apparently someone at the top decided at the last minute that they shouldn't do so as they had invested a lot of money in the service. That's why the service remains, at least for business customers.

    I just have one sim forwarded to the other using my free minutes. But I have them more for phone signal issues than wanting two numbers.

    How long term are you thinking? I get the impression permeant so my suggestion may not be appropriate. How many incoming calls do you get on each number?

    I used to sometimes divert/forward my work mobile no. to my personal mobile using the phone's settings that allowed you to divert to voicemail.

    I would then pay for the call from one line to the other so, like being abroad, you pay for incoming calls.

    Thanks for everybody's help. Great ideas. Now need to go and pick the best solution.

    In answer to the previous question, the two lines would be long-term, one for business which would have many hours per week in calls, few texts, lots of online browsing and one for personal calls which would have low use. I don't have the business line in place yet and can't really guestimate usage.
