If you have reached this point, it is because on more than one occasion you would have liked to use the same mobile number on two different phones . This does not have a simple solution, but it is possible to hire a MultiSIM service in your operator.
This already leads us to specify with our operator whether or not to offer the MultiSIM service, some such as Movistar , Orange or Vodafone offer it for a price of around € 5 per month depending on the operator. This MultiSIM service is nothing new, but there are many users who do not know, so we will try to shed some light on the subject.
MultiSIM service to use the same number in two different mobile phones.
Personally I have two mobiles, one that I use daily and another old mobile phone that I use when I go out to practice MTB in the mountains, since I like to be accompanied by a mobile phone so it can happen. This situation leads me to have to exchange the SIM card at each exit, which is a nuisance.
A priori we might think that if we request a duplicate of the card from our operator we already have two SIM cards, but no. When we request this duplicate, the old card is canceled completely and the new card is active.
The solution is to hire the MultiSIM service, although this has the disadvantage that it is an addition to our rate. This is where we have to assess if it is worth paying the monthly fee for the MultiSIM service or if it is preferable to change the SIM from one mobile phone to another.
When we hire the MultiSIM service, they give us a new SIM card that works in another phone without canceling the previous one, so both phones will have the same number . We must bear in mind that calls, SMS or WhatsApp messages will reach both mobiles. The data rate is also shared, so when it is finished, it is exhausted for both phones.
