    Can you setup your cellphone for dual sim card function to receive call from both sims without having to switch the sim ?

    You will have to get a Dual sim Phone.

    Mainly used in china and Asian countries.

    They havent caught on hugely in Europe.

    One of the guys here has a dual "lenovo" phone

    If you don't need both numbers "live" all the time then you can buy an adaptor.
    There are two types:

    The "cut" version where you take a scissors and cut out the metal bits from two SIMS and put them in a custom holder. This holder then slots in to your phone as normal.

    There's also a "no cut" version. This method relies on you putting one SIM in a super thin holder and another SIM somewhere else in the back of the phone, usually around the battery. The second SIM is attached by a thin cable to the first SIM.

    Both methods require a reboot if you want to switch numbers - you can't use both at the same time.

    There are a number of decent dual SIM phones due out this year, but I'm not sure how keen our beloved networks would be about stocking them.

    In answer to your question, :) , try www.dealextreme.com for the cut version, or good old www.ebay.com
