Hi Steve -
I can see how having a duel sim could be useful for say when on a train;
when I travel from southwest to north west, I can rarely get a T-Mobile
signal [Orange was never much better] having say a Voda sim as well might
solve this problem. Many other passengers seem to be able to use their
phones ok on the train, so I imagine they are with a different provider to
those mentioned above, but maybe too, it could be that some non-Nokia phones
are more powerful? -

| Hi,
|
| Of course, the problem with these dual sim holders is that if the line
rings
| that you are not switched to at the time, then it will go through to
| answerphone, so the phone won't ring for that line. It will only ring the
| line that you are currently switched to. So a dual sim is like having two
| phones, but one switched off and the other on. Kind of pointless really
in
| my view.
|
| All the best
