Clone your cellphone - legally - with Orange

by Staff Writer | posted on 24 January 2005

Today, you can own a light-weight holiday phone, and a heavyweight PDA phone - but if you want to switch from using one to the other, you have to open up the back, pull the SIM card out, and stick it into the other one. Orange has changed that: it will give you a SIM clone.

The trick becomes much easier: switch the one off, switch the other phone on. Same account, same phone number, but you don't need to take the big lump down to the beach, and you don't have to pull the battery out and lose all the settings.

Orange Single Number allows users to:

· Join two devices via a single voice and data plan

· Receive voice calls on the device of choice with no complicated code entry (simply turn one device off to trigger solution)

· Use a single voice mail box

· Receive a single airtime bill including data usage for 3G, GPRS or HSCSD

· Continue to use Orange Value-Added Services such as Line 2 and Everyphone
