i have heard that all the mobile phone shops in the UK carry a back cover modification that adds a second SIM card to the SE T68 (not the T68i) -- does anyone know if these will work for my T68i?

also.. does anyone know of a website that might sell them? (so that i don't have to treck all the way to europe just to purchase one of these)

thanks in advance,

CM.

Will work since T68 & T68i are the same phone, will just look a bit odd!

In my country recently, we can find a device that can clone the sim card. The device call SIM Magic and it is made in Taiwan.

It reads and backup to computer then you can rewrite into a new blank SIM.
With this device you can backup, rewrite (clone) content of the sim.

So if you have 2 sim with a different provider, with this device you can rewrite into 1 sim with 2 line number even with a different provider.
Usually when buy this device it includes 1 blank sim for cloning purpose.
And more fantastis they have a blank sim that can hold up to 8 line number.

I am sure the device is not legal and only available at black market, but people buy and use it on their risk.

Look at this link http://www.inex-tw.net/product3.htm

Cheers.

@arus,

ultimatemobiles:

will this battery cover (or is it a battery of its own??) work w\ the T68i? the T68 is not exactly(!!) the same size as the t68i -- or at least it doesnt feel like it is.

i just want to be sure b4 i go droping USD 35 + shipping on something i cannot use.

thanks again,
CMM

This will work with both the t68 and i, as it is a membrane that fits between the battery and the phone.

Unfortunately I only currently ship to the UK, but am looking into to delivering to other countries soon.

Thanks

@ AV
so you can't use multiple numbers at the same time? it doesn't sound like alternate line service...you can only choose to use one number at a time huh?
