No if you do a swim swop your old sim is deprovisioned and you can only have one simcard with your mobilr number.

From what I have read no the old sim becomes deactivated on transfer of details to the micro-sim but to be honest never tried it.

Completely correct. There are ways to do what you want but I don't believe any of them are endorsed by O2 so it would be illegal sorry.

Why do you want to use both? Or was it just asked in interest?:)

Welcome to the forums by the way:)

I assume to some users it would be handy to have two phones using individual sim cards but with the same number !

One for casual use and one for business.

I know some tradesmen who say like iphones but find them innapropiate on a site so use a rugged phone but dont really want to go out socialising with a brute of a phone.

I know that feeling, got two phones though one buisness one private.

Good old jcb phones for site use:)

Put a nail through the thing and it will still work
