Default Mobile Phone Chips.

Does anyone know if its possible to get duplicate chips?

I'm getting a PDA from work and they've said i can put my own chip in it if i want but i wanna keep my normal phone as that fucker wont fit in my pocket!

Rather than keep swapping the chip from one phone to the other, i was hoping i could get my one copied and have both phones with the same chip but only use one phone at a time?

Does that make sence?

Interesting question but Im pretty sure the answer is no. you cant have 2 sim cards assigned to one number.

AFAIK, it's very illegal.

what network you with?

IIRC T-mob did this where you could have a duplicated sim so you could keep one in your carphone n 1 in your mobile, not sure how it worked, cos you could only have 1 activated at a time

(think it was T-mobile anyway)
