    Hi, is there a phone i can get that can take 2 sim cards.
    EG; work phone sim (calls and texts) private sim for data.
    And can it be set up so im not switching settings all of the time to suit one or the other.
    Cheers.

    amazon have dual sims, there are also the chinese sellers on moore street and the likes, I think in harvey norman and did as well * I could be wrong though.
    It does depend on the phone though. Adverts have them as well. Check the chinese phone thread, there are loads selling phones there.

    Not the standard one but there is a dual sim one but probably not available in Ireland so would need to get it online

    Are you sure about that? I've only seen the dual SIM version for sale - XT1068. XT1063 is the single.

    Anyone know if its possible to have 3g Data on both sims ?

    I travel across border and previous experience of dual sims is one sim slot is 3g and the other is gsm only.

    Unlikely.
    This is for the dual SIM 1st Gen Moto G

    Guess it'll be the same for the 2nd Gen one.

    You can have 3G data on both sim slots, but only one sim at a time, and you have to designate it each time. Not a big deal, since you will be switching active sim anyway when you cross borders. An easy auto designating app waiting to be written.
