it can be done, but o2 won't do it, unless of course you work for them and are testing some new gadget.;)

Vodafone will be offering a Split sim service in the future. i.e two numbers on the one sim card like you could have a postpaid and a prepaid number on the one sim.

Their are no plans to launch the dual sim service that you are talking about.

The Feds used to do it with pagers (remember them?) all the time. Every time Wacker Sc*mbag got a msg, so did they.

No reason to assume the same thing doesn't go on with SIM cards.

Not your ornery onager

So what yer saying is... Theoretically, if one had a card read/writer ($25) to go with the software one could have just downloaded theres a fair chance it could work!?
