I want to mix networks on a single phone best way?

Just took out a deal with 3 direct from thier website 18 months at £20 per month for 1100 mix and match, i.e those can be either texts or minutes, so I can have 800 minutes and 200 texts or 1100 any network talk.

I sometimes use all those minutes due to being on the phone at night so I'm looking at getting an extra sim only from Tmobile which gives 1500 mins off peak any network and 800 texts for £15 a month.

I don't want to have to carry two phones or use a dual sim where I have to switch phones.

I know there are phones in japan which allows two sims with two receivers in a single phone. Does anyone know of any in the UK yet? I've heard Nokia and samsung have one but I haven't been able to find it.

    There used to be liitle dual sim card holders that you slipped into your handset and each time you turned the phone on and off it would switch sims, maybe try a phone shop? one of the little ones that stock every type of clip on fascia, does unlocking etc..

    Did you not notice the Op says he does not want a dual sim.

    He is looking for a mobile that two SIM slots in the back, and both SIMs are active at the same time. Something like this http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-duos-d880-07x10x08.htm

    That Samsung phone is the only really decent one available - the rest are Chinese no-name ones.

    It's not cheap though - about £230. Plenty of them on eBay but as always, be careful. No network in the UK sells them (for obvious reasons).
