Ask HN: I want to use two phones with one SIM

7 points by garyfirestorm 2 days ago

I understand the limitations of how SIM cards work. However i was wondering if there was a workaround for this. I would really like to daily an iPhone and an android phone. Ideal to carry one or another device when I need to without worrying about missing calls

Carriers have the option to have a single phone number for multiple cells phones. In the US on Verizon, this feature is called “Number Share”. Most carriers have this under some other name.

I remember a couple of years ago, I went with a colleague to a Telecom shop to clone his existing SIM card to use it in a different device, without cancelling the original one.

I guess it's an option you could try? /me-thinks

Data plan for both, voip app on both for the number you want to be called on. Enables you to also have a soft phone on the desktop if you’d like. I am partial to OpenPhone (no affiliation), but any voip service and app of some quality will do.
