Thanks Barbara for this information. I find it very interesting and must pay the man at a local shop we have to see what he says about them. I don't see why they wouldn't be legal, but I'll try to find out. Ian can't understand how it fits onto the phone, so if anyone has a way of explaining that, it would be very interesting.

Hi JackyA dual SIM holder means you can insert two SIMS into your phone so long as the handset supports the network. On the older phones as another lister refered to, you had to turn the phone off and manually switch between the two. But the newer ones can be switched from within the menu and the phone does not have to be turned off and on again. It's a way of having two numbers and only having to carry one phone. Like if you have a work and a personal number for example. You see them a lot on eBay and I did wonder are they totally legal? I guess so as there are too many of them listed not to be. However, I rang CPW this evening to ask if they sold them and I got a very short answer that they did not deal in them at all, so that left me wondering...?Barbara----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 7:10 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: DUAL SIM HOLDERSHi Pritesh and BarbaraThis is indeed a new one on me. I've never heard of a dual SIM holder before. Forgive my ignorance then, but how do they work? I presume you can use any cards from any network if your phone is unlocked?Thanks for any info.

However, I don't know whether it is possible to get these for the newer phones. If it is then I don't think it would be difficult to fit. I certainly didn't need sighted help fitting mine with the 3310. I hope this helps. Pritesh Pritesh and Alpa Thakore E-mail: alprit@xxxxxxxxxxxx Skype name: alprit5 MSN: pritalpa@xxxxxxxxxxx
