Hi,

Quick question maybe someone can sort me out on.
Say I have a numbe 08X 123456 and I want to have two phones going at the same time with the one number.

Will it work?
Ok if there is a doubling of texts, but what happens if the two phones make or recieve a call at the same time with the one number.

Thanks

you can't do that

You can clone your sim, but the network will only pick up the last one switched on .

Clone the sim maybe? But why the hell would you want to do that? Either way there is no legal way to do it.

It can be done by the networks but it is not a service they will offer because it is much too open to fraud.

O2 used to offer this service around 10 years ago but withdrew the service. The company I worked for when I was in school had duplicate SIMs for every truck driver so that their handheld phone and built in car-phone had the same number and rang simultaneously.

Around 4 years ago Vodafone were planning to launch this service whereby you could have up to 7 phones active with one mobile number. The service was working but it was a commercial decision not to launch it and it has since been shelved.

so, long story short, you can't do that
