I know you can get sim card holders to hold 2 separate sims in one phone, but is it possible to have 2 phones with the same number?
yep I know, ya think I'm crazy. Never mind!

    i think voda do something like this for buisness use only but other wise no,
    and if you get caught with a cloned sim on at the same time as the original one they will barr the number so make sure only one is turned on at a time
    (and i dont know how to clone them)

    Think BT do something similar too, a lot of providers will let you have 2 lines on 1 bill if that helps.
    2p off is still 2p off!
  • As above - it's hardly worth it - although there are places you can clone a SIM, if the network detects it (not difficult), then you'll be flagged for investigation. I'm sure it's not allowed, as the potential for fraud is too great, and I can't think of too many legitimate situatons that it's required in.

    The closest thing you can do is to have two handsets and set up the call-divert to reach the other phone. In this way, the caller will dial the same number, but you can decide which handset to take it on.

    Onlything Vodafone do is a Multi-sim.

    Basically for posh people who have a installed car phone, they can have two sim's one in their phone and one in their car phone, if their in the car they input a code to say their in the car and so all calls go to the car phone and when they get out they need to input a code again to say their out and all calls should goto the mobile.

    A very complicated system and not worth it.
