Nextel used to do this in the US and it was great. One phone, two numbers, receive calls from either line, make calls from one... that would be my dream setup, for now, since I have two VZW lines, I just forward all calls from one to the other, not efficient use of my minutes, but at least I only have to carry around one phone.

I'll get a link to the model # or at least send you the radio model.

I gotcha. Those are totally different than anything else. They're made for private networks, not ones like Sprint.

There actually for Nextel(aka: Sprint) and Southern Linc iDen networks....You can put a sim from each network in the phone.

No, they're not. They're for private networks, which means they are not for Sprint or SL. Please re-read the article.
