Hi folks,

here in Austria we have the provider called "ONE", who offers with the subscription (and one sim card) not only one cell phone number but 2 numbers for voice. Another 3 numbers are reservated for fax, mailbox and data.

Since I need to switch between these two voice numbers for private and office use and my provider is not able to offer this feature for the XDAII (MDAII) I ask you for help. Maybe a modification of the sim-manager (who allows me to setup my number for up to five lines, but not the selection and activation) or a separate tool would be perfect to find.

The numbers look like:

line 1: +43 699 1xxx xxxx (default, voice)
line 2: +43 699 2xxx xxxx (voice)
line 3: +43 699 3xxx xxxx (fax)
line 4: +43 699 4xxx xxxx (mailbox)
line 5: +43 699 5xxx xxxx (data)

If anybody can help me, I would be glad.

Here is some info, which may help:

The correct name of this feature is: Alternate Line Service (ALS)

Hope somebody can help me.

Hi Meden,

I've got the T-Mobile MDA II as company phone with so called "Rechnungstrennung" for office and private use. If I want to place a private call then I just pre-dial 90 to tell the provider that this call should be billed to my secondary line.

The odd thing about the two voice lines is though, that I never really know what number will be reported to the recipient of my call. Once it's #1 and other times it's #2. Only when I call from abroad it's always #2 (???).

Hope this helps a bit.
