Cloned phone ?

Options
Sounds dodgy I know but all I want is two phones that effectively have the same phone number and the same sim card.

Is it possible to clone a simcard and run two phones as one or am I asking far too much ?

  • I dont thing you can do that because each SIM card has to be unique.

    You can always set it up so that phone calls are "forwarded" to another number. It might cost though.

    Have you called your providor?

    Whats wrong with just one phone?

    Hi

    Starting a fencing business and would like to have phones with the same number based at home and with me on business. This would mean that the business number could be answered at all times, either by me or someone at home if I were travelling or otherwise engaged.

    Can't imagine I am the first person to enquire about this.

    Would Call Forwarding not work for you?

    I believe Vodafone still do a service that allows you to have 1 mobile number operating from 2 different phones. Don't know if you need to be business customer to have this feature but there is definitely an additional cost of around £10/month if I remember correctly.

    This was mainly for people who had car phones who wanted their mobile number operating on their car phone at the same as their mobile phone. The best thing to do is give Vodafone customer services a call to enquiry about this further. I think Vodafone is the only network that allows this, Orange do something called Line 2 but that is a completely different number operating on the same phone i.e. one for business one for personal.
