Anyone know anything about CLONE SIM cards?

Hi

My problem is that I want my car phone to use the same number as my Nokia mobile
phone.

T-Mobile don't offer this service.

Would a cloned SIM run the car phone while the real sim is used in the original
Nokia mobile?

Would both phones ring?

Would T-Mobile know?

Anybody done it?

Where do I get a clone SIM card?

Yes they do.....not that I can find a link.

Perhaps "t-mobile multi-sim" may yield some results on google.

If you could successfully do it, which you can't without destroying the
original, yes.

> Would both phones ring?

NoIt's likely that neither phone would ring.

> Would T-Mobile know?

Yes. And would almost certainly cut you off.

> Anybody done it?

Not that I know of.

CLining only worked on very very old SIMs. With a modern SIM you have
more chance of winning the lottery.

No point but T-Mobile don't offer this service!

I've been thinking about this, and asked O2 - no

As previous remarks, I don't think you can copy modern SIMs and have a
significant chance of destroying them if you try

I've decided that as I don't use the phone much in the car, and won't
initiate calls while I'm moving, I'll probably stick with an old Nokia
car kit for the 3310 (also fits 3510i which I still have 2 of), and
forward incoming calls to a spare payg SIM in one of those phones.
This will also be fine abroad, as I then forward O2 calls to an IoM
SIM

This will save me spending £100+ (self-fit) to £215 (installed) on a
new car kit, which would pay for quite a bit of call diversion.

Or maybe a secondhand 6310 and a bluetooth set-up ...?

With conditional call forwarding set on the first phone, eg on no
answer or busy, and the second on auto-answer, this is pretty much
like the twin-SIM functionality would be anyway

Ok, sorry, it won't be much of an idea for high users ...

As other people have already pointed out, the cloning idea is a non-starter.
However, and admittedly it's only available on Business accounts (please
don't ask what you need to be a business, one of the other O regulars - Jon
or Simon? is probably better placed to answer that), Orange Single Number
sounds like your solution...

I know someone who uses the service and it works well.
