Default Duplicate sim cards

Anyone know which providers do these ?

I've just bought a BMW with the integrated phone system that takes a sim card but naturally don't want to mess about each time I get into/ out of the car, just spoke to Vodafone who told me they used to do these but not anymore

Are there any other ways around this other than another sim card with a different number ?

Cheers

Paul

they can do a duplicate sim, but the original will obviously stop working.
i don't think its possible to have 2 working with the same number?
spend 100 quid on a bluetooth connection?

It's called a dual sim and the only network I now know that does them is Orange. I think they charge you approx £10 line rental per month to have the additional SIM with the same mobile number. This is only available directy with them too.

Vodafone did do them, but they don't anymore.
