Hi everybody,I'm a Long time reader, first post!
I have a T610 and I have 2 SIM cards. A personal and a business SIM.
I've been reading old posts about Dual SIM's and SIM cloning but I still have many doubts.
Is it possible to have the 2 phone numbers ACTIVE on my phone?
Can any SIM be cloned?
Is it legal? (both SIM's are from the same company)
Thank you guys!

I havent used one but i think with the dual Sims you only use one at a time. You turn the phone off and then on again and it uses the other one Correct me if im wrong.

You can have dual SIMs but not actually having both of them ACTIVE. Have look cause there's a new gadget now where you don't need to make any adaptation in your phone. Still, you cannot have both SIMs active. |

@Lynx69: I think you are right. I haven't used one either, but as far as I know you can only use one of the SIM-cards at a time. If not, how would the phone know which one to use when calling?
And yes, normally you turn the phone off and then on again to activate the other SIM-card.

That's basically my advice too. The thing that matters really is:
Do you need to have too both of them on at the same time? (professional reasons, etc.) If so, use 2 phones.
You just use two cards due to network issues (i.e. calls price, etc.)? If so, then get the adapter...

yes cloning a sim card is possible. in my country it costs about US$ 80 for the cloning device with an empty sim card. (you do need to hook it up to your pc)
i think its sometimes rather useful especially if you buy one of those Nokia car kit phone (the 3 watts that comes with a handset - about US$ 650 here) because then you can just switch off your mobile while you are in the car and simply use the car phone without having to transfer the sim. only one sim can be used at the same time though.... |

Why not get one of those adaptor things where you can have 10 different sim cards on the one sim card. It adds an extra menu or something onyour phone to change between sim cards. Heres a bit of the discription I found:
"New Sim Doctor / 10 in 1 Sim Card/ ( USB version). Copy 10 old sim cards into one single sim card. This is a new sim card where you can have 10 numbers (SIM Cards) on one sim card. No adaptors, splitters etc. Just a normal sim card called" sim doctor". It gives your phone a new menu , called MultiNumber. This menu allows users to have a number of different networks on one sim card. Use the sim doctor to back up sim cards. Fits any phone and any network in the world. System consists of sim doctor card , USB card reader, CD software for Win 2000/ME/XP.
Copy mobile networks , phone books , SMS messages, unlock PUK and PIN code."
Don't know if that was what you where meaning but there you go if it wasn't. |

i just got my multi-line sim from my carrier today. it's very cool! it cost me less than US$5, and it can have up to 5 lines on it.
to select which line you want to use for outgoing calls and messages, you just access the sim's menu and select the line you want to use. no need for powering off and on. BUT, for incoming calls and messages, all 5 lines can receive all the time!
surely other networks will begin to offer them to their subscribers, so i suggest maybe finding out if there are any plans to offer them before buying those dual sim holders or sim clones. |

I can have 2 lines on mine too, but will it work with two different providers?
I don't think so, or?
