Graham, Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't heard of these devices before, but don't think I'll be investing in one! It sounds a bit too risky for my liking! I think two phones is by far the safer option.

Hi Caroline I bought a dual sim holder off eBay recently but when my friend read the instructions it looked like you had to take out the existing sim holder and replace it with the new one, you then had to cut both of your sim cards in half and place them in the holder in such a way so that they made contact. I wasn't at all happy with this as I thought that there was no guarantee of a tight fit or continued contact so the phone might not be available to me in an emergency so i binned it and went back to using two phones, and that was after we'd murdered a spare voda PAY card as an experiment. Not sure I've explained this very well, anyone else tried it. Cheers!

Hello, Please could someone explain what a dual sim holder is? I currently have two phones, one with a pay as you go sim in it and one with my contract sim. Would a dual sim holder allow me to have both sim cards in one phone and switch between the two easily? I can't imagine that it would be possible to switch sims without turning off the phone, removing the battery and physically taking out one sim and putting the other in, but I'd be interested to know if a dual sim holder makes this process any easier. Thanks, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Graham Longly Sent: 21 September 2005 20:15 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Unlocking Nokia 6600 affect Talks? Hi Deon Make sure that talks is switched off before beginning the unlocking process as know someone who experienced severe problems on a 6600 after they had it unlocked with talks running. I bought a dual sim holder for my 9500 but didn't get on with it so resorted back to using two phones. Cheers!

Hi all, am with VodaPhone on pay-as-you-go: Would unlocking the phone affect Talx? Intend using it on different networks with different simcards abroad; ... will be cheaper! Also, has anyone used a twinsim? Thanks Deon -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
