I've just got a new work phone on voda and my own mobile is on Orange...and I cant be arsed with carrying 2 phones around with me.. can these dual sims work on different networks and what phones to they fit...the Voda is a Siemens C35i and the Orange is a Nokia 3310..

Question

I've got one for a 3310, not much good though, it was a freebee
so maybe thats the thing. There are two things to think about
1) The sim lock on the Orange might bloke the vodafone card &
2) You can’t receive calls on the one that your not using?

Not clue to tell you the truth, because I've only got Cellnet sim
cards. You can always have the Nokia unlocked which makes things
much eaiser, because then it will accept any card from any
network, most normal mobile shops offer it (Not the Main ones
Orange etc.) and its only about £15.

I think you'l find that Orange and Vodaphone use toatly diferent freq. ranges. you can mix, Voda and Cellnet, or one2one and orange. but not voda-orange. Most phones physically don't transmit in both ranges.

as long as you unlock the orange handset (if thats what you have) its not a problem.

if its a vodafone handset they are normally unlocked anyway from memory.

if your worried about missing calls on the other sim just divert to calls to other number.

You change between numbers by turning phone off and on again.

I have orange 6210e with orange sim and genie pay as you go sim, no probs.
you have to buy dual sim card holder, plenty places online do it.
