I've got a dual number SIM card from Vodafone. It's a single card but with 2 seperate numbers.

There's a menu option to change the outbound number, which effectively re-boots the phone.

Inbound I can set it to either number or both, but it will only accept text messages for one number, the other ones are saved up until I switch over.

I have it through work as a trial - not sure if they're widely available yet.

I had one years ago through work with Orange. As far as I can remember it was easy enough to swap between numbers for dialling - can't remember what happened with texts though. Hardest thing about it was remembering to switch numbers to make my personal calls
