I have two phones, one for work and one I use when I go out.  Can I order a duplicate Sim so I don’t have to swap the Sim every time I go out?

Hi ​@Teetotal

 

No, unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to have two active SIMs using the same mobile number.

 

Each iD Mobile number can only be active on one SIM at a time. If a replacement SIM is activated for the number, the existing SIM is deactivated.

 

If you regularly use two handsets, you would need to move the SIM between them, or consider using a separate mobile number/SIM for the second handset.
