Sim Clone Alternative Options

Hi All,

I've just recieved a new company car which includes a built in mobile phone
operated throught the stereo sytstem. The sim card plugs into the stero and
then operates exactly as a mobile phone.
Unfortunately though it is very cumbersome to remove the sim and plug it in
to my mobile everytime I get out of the car.
I therefore am looking for the ability to buy a second sim card so that if
one doesnt answer the other will.
I am on the Orange network, and am unable to change as its a work phone.

The only option I can think of at presant is to change the Orange Answer
phone number from 07973 100123 to a second mobile so that the car phone if
not answered would divert to a different number rather than the answer
phone.

Any ideas if this would work and if I have any other options.

Many thanks All

Shaun

Isn't Orange Everyphone working for you ?

Voda has a plan where you can get two SIMs on one phone. With respect to
the call diversion suggestion, aren't conditional diversions to other Orange
mobile now billed as a mobile to mobile call?

Which is why Steve asked if Everyphone was working for the OP. Also the OP
said that he is limited to Orange due to it being a work phone.

Lastly, can you post at the bottom, please.

Not possible for the OP, he is committed to Orange due to his company. See
above..!

I'm in this exact situation and use Everyphone. Just store the Everyphone
setting as a contact and when you get in the car call that contact, this
then diverts your mobile to your car using everyphone. The only down side
is that you have two numbers (I withhold my CLID on the car) and therefore
two bills.

You can always have the two numbers put on to the same account for
billing purposes.
