Hi

This is interesting as I regularly use two sims and could do with one of 
these. Could you provide info on where you obtained it?

TIA

Yeah, I stepped into that scenario not long ago too and hence my
exploration of this solution. But bear in mind that only one of SIM can
be connected with the network at any one time. That's just a physical
limit.

I located mine on on eBay. Seemed to be focused for the UK market as
the primary pricing was in UK Pound.
