Hey folks... was just browsing eBay, and I'm curious what a Dual Sim-Card could be good for?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3383095941&category =42413
Wouldn't my v200/205 freak out if it tried to read both Sim-Cards at the same time?
Anybody ever tried this?
Thanks in advance,

you can't use both sims at the same time. i think i read somewhere that's it for people who switch out sims all the time. rather than physical switch in and out, you get those. it's pretty much useless to me (IMHO) since i don't travel out of the country or have the need for two sims (which means two lines) anyways. if i needed two lines, i'll just pick up another phone. ya know?

Popular with those who have a private phone and a business phone and for those who go abroad a lot. Making calls is a lot cheaper and received calls are free when you use a local SIM abroad.

I have / need both: two lines, business and private.
On top of that I travel a lot so I really get crazy about switching SIm cards (use local ones too for some countries).
Question: how do I switch between those two SIM cards? How does the phone know which card to use?

I heard that dual sim card holders are a big thing with terrorist networks. And yes, that is relevant discussion.
