I am in the market for a new phone; I currently have two, one for business and one for personal use. I would like to be able to carry round one phone!… Are there any phones out there that can take two sim cards? My other needs are…

Diary function that interfaces with outlook via infrared or Bluetooth

Prefer Nokia but other’s considered…


Any suggestions greatly received!

Yes, it can be done.

Unless the design of such things has changed, it does add a little extra width to the phone body, usually meaning it won't fit in the cradle of a hands free set up in a car but if you can live with that, a relatively inexpensive solution to carrying two phones around with you.

Such things have changed.

Saw an adapter somewhere thats the same size as one sim but actually holds two of the gold chip things.

You do need to cut the sims down to make them fit but theres a solution out there...somewhere...

Fairy nuff.

Investigated this a few years ago. Piggy back holder made 6210 too big to fit in phone cradle.

Thank all…

I was really looking for a dual sim phone that would receive calls to either sim…

Anyone know of one? If not there must be a gap in the market for such a thing!

There was/is a Nokia which can take two SIMs, my friend had it about 2 years ago. Can't remember the name though sorry.
