I tested mine last night with a Three SIM in slot 1 and a Giffgaff SIM in slot 2 - only one slot can be used for data at once and it's selected in the settings, but it will make/send and receive calls and texts on both SIM's at the same time. It's only my back-up phone, so I used my main EE mobile to call each number individually without changing anything on the phone and it worked, and I sent a text to each number at the same time and it arrived on both SIM's at the same time (I have the £69 phone).
Edit: just double checked regarding your last sentence - if I select Giffgaff as the data SIM then the Three one does turn off, it only stays on with Three selected as Data, but thtas because Three don't have 2G capability I'd have thought and another SIM from a compabny that does might well work - its ok for me as no 3G Giffgaff where I am anyway.
