Okay - I have a Vodafone contract mobile, with one sim card and one number.

If I have another mobile phone I want to use the usually thing to do is put the sim card into the other phone.

What I want to do is have a second sim card which goes in the second phone, but I want this to be link to my main number and account. In other words outgoing calls are charged to the one account. I suppose if there is an incoming call both phones would ring!!

Any thoughts anyone?

Cheers

Hi,
The thing you need to ask Voda for is called a Multi Sim, this will cost you £7.50 per month and you will have the same mobile number on both sims, the only thing is that you have to nominate which card you want to be active so for example you enter a code into the phone, something like *130# and that card will accept all calls the if you want to use the other phone then do the same with that one.
It was designed for use with fitted car phones and not for two hand portables but will still work.
One bad point is that you cant have cross network calls on a multi sim so if you are on a tariff that gives you say, 200 anytime minutes including calls to other networks then it will cancel out the cross network part.

Hope this helps.

Would the cross network not be available on both sims or just the extra 2nd sim?

You would lose it on the mobile number, so both sims would be affected and Multi sim is only available on certain tariffs so check with Vodafone to see if you are on the correct tariff 1st.
