Can I duplicate a sim card?

Hi all.

I'm currently on contract with Orange. Iwas using my sim card in an O2 XDA until I lost it last week although I plan to replace.

The phone is a bit big for slipping into a pocket. So could I duplicate the sim card so that I could have one in the XDA and another in a slimline phone which I do not have to swap sims but can use either phone on the same number?

Thanks

  • no, its illegal as far as i know, if it is illegal it is to stop people hacking into your mobile account, running up bills for you to be stuck with outside of your knowledge

    I remember someone asking something similar the other week, It is not illegal, and it is possible (To my surprise).

    Someone wanted two sims so that they could insert 1 of them into their Mercedes.

    Do a search, and it should bring something up.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
  • Thanks for the replies.

    I usually do search but was thinking there wasn't any info! So I'd better take heed. I'll phone orange and see what they say although I'm not a business customer.
