(The whole concept reminds me of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "douchey" character from the "First World Problems" video, who pulls a second phone from his pocket to tap out the complaint: "some idiot just called me up on the phone, OMG, don't they know how to text?")
We have a similar thing in one of the operators in Bulgaria - you can get a new clone SIM that can be used simultaneously with the other. Dunno if it works with more SIMs.
