Compatibility with dual sim tool

[emanuele carrea]

Actually thei claim you can use both or choose which one to use, it probably
emulates one sim, comprehensive of the two you put inside.

They say it's compatible with smartpgones and pdas.
here is a brief description.

For what I can get from the site, but it's my interpretation, in thus
unified sim they create some additional services, like the ones you get from
the telephony providers, for managing the two sims.

On the faqs I found this one that is quite discouraging:

*May I receive phone calls on both numbers at the same time?*

Mobile Phone are composed by only 1 receptor and 1 transmitter. So they can
not connect simultaneously 2 SIM card on 2 different networks.
Nevertheless you can activate the auto switch function allowing you to
settle you switch sequence with a high flexibility.
That way, you are rapidly notified of a missing call.
Example:
1 hour 35 minutes on SIM 1 and 5 minutes on SIM 2.

Thus it's just a card switcher...It seemd strange it could connect to twp
different networks.

Anyway still it's an interesting tool.
