I need a duplicate SIM

[#1]

I have bought a phone to leave in the car, and need a duplicate SIM so that I don't have a second account.

Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about getting one?

I have searched the help pages but to no avail.

If only that was possible it would save some of us a small fortune!

Hi PL1

If you mean two phones from the same account with identical Sims I am sure you can't do that

If it's for emergency use in the car you are better having a Pay As You Go with credit that does not run out after a time period the Three 321 is very good that's what I use as a back up

Credit can be purchased from Three shops or local convenience shops when needed

I believe most mobile networks have a 3-6 month usage period before the sim maybe disconnected.

I was aware that you need to make a 'keep alive' call from time to time.

Easy to remember to do when you do a battery check.

Thanks HelloDuck. I thought such accounts existed, but I was having trouble finding one.

ETA: Either Three have discontinued this option, or they have it very well hidden!

Yes the credit does not expire but the phone has to be used every six months I have a reminder on my main phone to remind me

As you can see below I still have £9.24 from the £10 credit I put on the account

Credit	Valid until	Remaining
Top-up credit	Won't expire	£9.24
Total Credit		£9.24

Information...

Your credit will not expire
