I think that you can have two lines on a single SIM...my R520 manual says so anyway...are there any providers in USA that support this? I would really like to consolidate both my lines into one phone rather than two.

Yeah it is definitely possible to have two different numbers on the same SIM card. |

Orange are the only UK provider to have line 2 - don't know about anywhere else - the T68 was made with line2 compatibilty as standard maybe other  models aswell.

I checked their website & couldn't see line 2 - I'm sure Orange r the only UK operator for this - but they do have Multi-Sim:
http://www.vodafone.co.uk
click on services - then call management - then scroll to the bottom & slect mulitsim - it sounds pretty good.

Oh yeah, thats it. I have been confusing Multi-SIM with line two service on Vodafone. Thanks for that. So its confirmed that Orange is the only network in the UK to provide the service. |

No i bet that's not the case who make them late in delivering phones cos i have a sim free t68 and i do already use this service called duo on my network and they didn't change any software. I just subscribed and after 24 hours i had both lines on 1 sim.

Yes - line 2 is a sim card feature - but the 68 was made with line 2 software - so thats y u have it - Orange do have a different software version - most operators do - so they can 'lock' the handset & add or take away certain menu's on the phone - ask any UK user & they will say Orange usually take ages to release new handsets - because of this. |

Its possible to have two lines. Like in philippines we can use two sim card with different network, for as long as your unit has line 1 and 2. But in most cases nokia cel are the only one that are most capable to have dual sim cuz you can buy the back of the cover that has an installation for the 2 sim card.

@ porterg
I called T-Mobile 611 last night and the guy said that they don't do this. How did you come across that info?
