There was a brief bit on a techie program on the BBC Saturday morning. If I heard right, mobile phone companies are launching a system where you can have up to 6 different phone numbers from different countries on one phone. That way you can be in a country and offer people a local number for the to call you on. Also while out of the counry, they can still get you on that number. If you do travel abroad you get a number from your service provider for that country allowing you to make local rate calls.
Obviously bad news of the Lads get hold of this, they'd have a number for each of the local African countries, proving a safari will get even more difficult, but it'd be of benefit for us to lok like we are local to them if we had it.
No doubt it'll cost, so might keep the lads at bay for bit. Can't find a link on BBC web site with any more info. |

I work in mobile coms for business customers and normally get pre launch details for most new hardware and software but as yet nothing has filtered down to me about this facility.
Perhaps you could watch the programe again at :-

There's been an iphone app around for a couple of years now that allows you to program up to 6 different numbers on a special sim but you need accounts with the providers that you want to use.Details at:-

I've heard of Asian cell-phones with dual simcard slots, even three-slotted ones.
While not as impressive, I bet one could get these at a reasonable price.
My sister's fiancee's family is very, very Scottish, and I've been told how extensive one's collection of sims can be. It wouldn't surprise me if you UK baiters could find a dualsim phone near you, given the demand for them. |

Interesting, I'd like to see the application of this technology outside of a VOIP environment.
As long as the tools are available to both sides, we'll just be hoodwinking each other, and no-one should really have more of an advantage as a result. |
