I use the Athena as a second device, but I have a "dual sim" subscription (I have two sim cards on the same subscription, both phones rings during incomming calls).

hmm this is interesting how did you do that ?

is it identical sim cards or different ones ?

and whats your provider?

My provider is the norwegian Telenor, and you can add the "Twin-SIM" to any subscription. You then have two SIM-cards with different phone numbers, but both will receive incomming phone calls on your "main phone number". However, if you send SMS from your second SIM card the "sender number" not be the "main phone number".

I like it alot. I have the second SIM card in the Athena, and the main card in TyTN or S620 (depending on my mood ;)).

Yes. Sorry I forgot to mention that. But I have turned on "hide Call ID" on the Athena, and I mainly use S620/TyTN for calling...

i c so its basicly two numbers?

hmm i talked to my service provider and they dont have this facility...

i want ideally athena for sms and data and my htc touch for voice...

basicly it would be ideal if the touch could act as a bluetooth headset

Does anyone know if T-Mo UK support this? I'd really like to use my Athena for data and my Tytn for voice on the same account.

Wow... thanks for the intelligent response...:rolleyes:

I was hoping that somebody might already know before I try and navigate TMo's 150 number menus

You were lucky to get a response at all...considering your lack of contribution since you first joined in 2006. ;)

@Boinger66

Have you tried the LG Style-I Bluetooth HandSet with the Athena? I picked one up at Verizon Wireless for 24.95 and it works great with the Athena. I use my plantronics Bluetooth when driving, but stick the small Style-i handset in my front pocket, when walking around or just working in the office. The handset can be used to dial, answer or pick up calls just like another phone, without reaching for the athena. Has called ID, Missed call, etc. Works for me.
