Is it possible?

I have a P800, which whilst great is soometimes a bit big so I thought about getting a t630 for weekends.
changing sims is an arse and so wondered if there was a simple way round it.

Anyone selling a T630?

Nope. Best thing you could do is setup a divert so when the P800 mumber doesn't ring it will forward to the other number.

Vodafone do exactly this - you simply select which phone is to be the active receiver of calls. Word of warning though, the twin sim/one number service isn't compatible with GPRS service, so you'll lose that if you go down the multi-phone route. Other than that, it works fine.

ah, no GPRS is a must at least on one of the phones. I think I may give the p800 back and get a t630.

So anyone got one to sell?

Any network should give you a T630 for nothing.

Get one for nothing then and I'll give you £20 for it.

Seriously, we use a third party for our phones, they give us a very good deal on the whole package but sometimes cannot do very well on specific handsets (ie they were the cheapest by far for 6 P800s last year).

Get the P900 much better phone!!

Does everything you have with the p800 and then a little more, plus it is smaller too.

I did it and havent regretted it

alas neither will work roperly with my car bluetooth kit.

I have bought a pda which, with the phone gives me more or less all I need, a lot of the stuff in the p800 is now unused so I might as well downsize
