Multiple SIM cards

Is it possible to have/get two(2) sim cards to where if you put it in two different phones, when one ring the other will ring too if you get a call. I am not looking to make 2 calls at once but it would be great to have 2 sim cards with the same number and such.

I ask because I have an XDA IIs (pocket pc phone) and it is bigger than your average phone. I want a smaller phone as an alternative but do not want the burden of removing my sim card and replacing it in another phone.

Well I mean you can clone Sim Cards but that is definitely Illegal, and when you have to phones on, the network will let your service provider know, and get you in trouble, So Basically theres no real way, Your best bet is to just get a different simcard just for data plan for your XDA

The basic principles behind digital phones today is that they do not allow two phones to talk on the same number at the same time. This type of authentication is to prevent fraud and it was basically lacking on older analog phones.

I thought the whole concept around sim-cards was to make it very easy to switch phones anytime you get ready. Is this really not working for you?
