But Steve there are times when we need to go out and only take one of those little tiny handbags with us. On those occasions one phone would be good!

Hi Andy,

I simply have two phones, one Orange and one T-Mobile.  I want them both
active at all times, I don't want to be fiddling about with dual sims.

All the best

Steve

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? -

Andy

| 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
