2nd Sim card

Is it possible to get a second sim card with the same number as the first sim card, I have 2 phones a little 6510 that i use for work and a Nokia 7250i for weekends but don't think changing the cards over often is going to do the card any good in the long run ,is there another solution ?

Not that a service provider would offer.

You will need to find someone with the ability to duplicate a sim card and that's not going to be easy.

I doubt you'd be able to do that at all. Even if you could, if both were registered to the network at the same time (i.e. both phones are switched on), it'll instantly trigger alarm bells at the netowork.

You could a personal number service such as "YAC", and divert your incoming calls to whichever phone you want to use. The only problem is that it is a new number to give people and it could work out very expensive for your callers!!!

It is possible to do it, but you'd need to buy the equipment which would probably work out at around £100.

Also, if you did use both sims at once by accident you'd get shafted by the network if they detected it...

If you're still interested in doind it search for "SIM Cloning" on Google.
