2 Sim Cards

[Milner65]

Hi

I'm about to sign up for a no contract sim only deal. There is an option to order two sim cards. If I order two, Will this allow me to put one in my phone (for calls) and one in my ipad (for internet use / 4G etc) or not? If not what is the point of having 2 sim cards?

Thanks

Hi @Milner65 

Welcome to the community

I'm not sure what offer this is you're taking up, but you can only have one SIM per mobile number. Any additional SIM will be on its own subscription in some form.

If this is a pay-monthly plan, then two SIMs equals two numbers equals two plans.

Where are you seeing this option?

Thanks for your reply

the 2 sim option is on the link below

@Milner65 : That is an offer for free PAYG SIMs. Within 1 order you may order 1 or 2 PAYG SIMs. When you order 2, they will be 2 separate SIMs each with their own mobile no. They are independent of each other & share nowt between them. Yes, you may put them in 2 diff devices as you wish & they will operate completely independently.

Thanks  So if I order two SIM's I need to pay for both so doubling the monthly cost?

Yes, that's right, @Milner65. You'd pay for a plan for the phone, then a separate plan for the iPad.

We do specific plans for tablets and other internet devices.

As a cheaper option, you could just take a plan out for the phone and use your it as a personal hotspot, allowing the iPad to use the phone's data. However, that means it would have to be within range of the phone to use mobile data. With a plan of it's own, you can use it wherever you get a signal.
