Duplicate SIM

    Hi all,

    I have a 3G simcard in my phone with 1gb data allowance.

    I have a sim card slot in my laptop for mobile broadband. I could take the sim out of my phone and use it in my laptop, but then i'd obviously have no phone when using mobile bb.

    I could sign up for mobile broadband but I'm trying to avoid this as I already have a 1gb data allowance and don't come anywhere near that usage every month.

    So, it is possible to duplicate my sim so i could use the duplicate sim in my laptop and use my existing 1gb allowance?

    Dont most phones allow you to use them as a modem for a pc/laptop these days? You could probably hook it up via bluetooth or a usb cable.

    Yeah do as he says, USB would be the best option probably.
