Dave,
That's very useful - thanks for that. I thought I'd heard of it but I guess not on Orange.

I have been reading about having more than one contract/number on one SIM card!!! Does anyone know anything about this everything I found was very vague about how it works, or does anyone have any latest info on a dual sim adaptor for the P800

Cloning your SIM card isn't allowed on UK networks - although it doesn't really matter, as some people have said, it doesn't work with newer (newer doesn't really mean that new, any from quite a few years back now won't work) SIM cards. Voda do have the two sim cards to one account dealie, but you have to pay £10+ every month
line rental on the other card too (for which you don't get anything extra), plus the cards are not identical - there is effectively a 'master' and a 'slave' card. I seem to remember that only the master will receive and can send messages etc etc; the 'slave' card really is designed for carphones where you simply need to receive/make voice calls - nothing else.
As for dual SIMs- the ghost sims fit in the P800 (got a 7210/6610 one from here ages ago
http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/dualsim/dualsimcovers.htm). They do have to have the bus cable folded over for that one (the 6610 one) but i'm sure one design would be right for inserting in the P800 and not having to fold the cable. Anyway, mine fits once you spend a minute with it, and then sits quite comfortably over the battery.

I used to have two SIMS on the same number. It was from Vodafone and called MultiSim. BUT you could not use GPRS with them just the phone. Vodafone was always promising a release that would allow GPRS but it never happened until I finally switched back to one SIM. Maybe thay have fixed it now - I do not know. If they have they do't say much about it. I was always surprised they kept it a secret. I found it buried in one of their dealer manuals.
If they could fix the GPRS then it would make a great idea and I am sure plenty of people would want it.

So many people i know who used twin sims in the past have gone over to using two phones because of issues with missed calls, also the twin sims can have short lasting cotact material on the slave sim which ends up causing unreliabillity, a good example of twin sims becoming a pain is this;
You swop to a sim to send a sms & then swop back to your voice call sim & the person replies to your sms sim number, even though its not the number you insist they use, because they just pressed the "Reply" option.
It becomes far to much hasle to keep checking between sims for missed sms & calls.
Once a major phone manufacturer takes the lead & makes a phone capable of TWO live sims, it will quickly become the norm.
No twin sim holders can offer two live sims.
A twin live sim phone IS available but its a crap product. similar to a Nokia 5000 series.

hi folks
there is a universal dual sim holder out there that will work with the P800. I got mine from
www.simcardholders.com and I am using it with a T610, however it will fit any phone. You cut ou the sims into 1 new simcard that replaces your original sim. With a call divert you can also receive calls on both numbers.
Cheers,
Tomjayc
