I have successfully use a gohst twin sim. I think it was the T68i version. You will need to carfully fold the ribbon cable but it does work.
To switch between them just turn the phone off then on again, I think is cost about £15 |

@ump001
would i be right in thinking this would all fit under the standard back cover i.e. my brick (p800) will not get any bigger  if so that would be great. i got a dual sim holder for my T39 used it once cos i found it to be too big. i now have one sim in P800 (Voda UK or Meteor IRL) and carry T39 (O2 UK).

The one on ebay is the same as the one I have, I got mine from www.modifications.net/ghost_dual_sims.html
It slides into the sim card slot and takes 2 sims in the carrier. This is not really designed for the P800 and the cable will need to be folded, it's quite tough and folded without snapping and works perfectly.
Remember you can only use one sim at a time and the phone needs to be turned off to change sims, also it won't work on two different networks on a locked phone. Should be OK with PAYG and Monthly on the same network on a locked phone. |

Twin sims are a fantastic way to miss important calls, two phones is far better. |

I've tried two of these, what a waste of money.
It bulged the case out something chronic and both of them consistently just stuck to the one SIM no matter what I did until I stuck card and tape to force the SIMS back into the (flimsy) holder. It worked better under the battery but then puched the case out even more.
I'm gonna stick to my T68 for 'day calls' I think |
