Anyone figure out how to Clone a SIM Card so I can use the same account and phone number in two phones?

I want to do that same thing. Haven't gotten around to buying the reader, plus I don't like paypal. I will try to swing by china town today to see if they have one there.

But it's somewhat easy (in theory) to do. Buy a reader, extract info through softwarre and dump on a empty sim card.

Don't know if it being a v2 or v3 will limit the ability to do so.

Do you a link or a name for the "Reader" and do you know if it actually works?

Thanks gospeed.racer... I was replying through my phone and couldn't get the link.

They do work. Just don't know how much. Hopefully I get one today
