@ Pachy...
You are correct Sir.. I figured that after my recent trip to the UK... We are still trying to adjust to GSM life and the use of the sim card... I think 3 out of 10 US consumers polled would be able to define what a sim card is... So encryption is not a priority list for these vendors..

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
Would this work with Orange & 3 sims in the adaptor ?

@sesame, I have no experience of "3" 3G sims, but if the design is the same as GSM then it will work fine, obviously you need to check that the 3G sim & the GSM sim you intend to use BOTH work in your handset FIRST, BEEFORE cutting them down, also i would suggest you email (ask seller a question) a few of the sellers of this type of twin sim, they are often very helpfull during one of their sales.

@BBQ-J, Have you heard of "Loss leaders" where a shop sells one of its products at cost so it gets you in the shop, then hopefully you also buy other things in there.
Well, networks in UK offer free sms but with high call costs on one sim, but on another they may have free voicemail or cheap calls on another sim but high sms cost,so using the two you can just benefit from the cheap part of the deals.
Then there is the people who may want a business number seperate from their home number, but on the same phone.
Another reason may be because coverage of signal could be poor on one network where you live but good at work, & on a different network good at home, so you can have 2 providers sims.
I have in the past carried several network sims with me when on the road or touring because my prefered network (Orange UK) is poor coverage in Scotland, if i had an emergancy situation, i get extra chances of making a call with several sims to choose from

when you use this dual sim gizmo, lets call them A and B. if you have sim A selected on your phone, can an incoming call an sim B's number be taken? or does the person phoning get " sorry, the mobile phone is switched off blah blah blah "

@locoworks, No, you can not have both sims live, although most people have sim "A" for example as their default sim, so all you do is seet up a divert from sim "B" so all calls come to sim "A".
OR, if you dont like the idea of paying for the divert you can just record a voicemail message on sim "B" telling people to rinng the other number.
When using a pay as u go sim you may find "call divert" is not allowed, but it normally is on contract sims.
The clever thing to do is this, say sim "A" is your chosen default number that everyone knows is yours, if you ring people from sim "B", they may start trying to ring you on that number & it all gets messy cos you dont get the call, so you get the network to permanently withold your number from sim "B", that way people will not put sim "B"s number in their phone book.
