Second sim for pay monthly data contract

[bluemike1676]

Hi,  I have a 3g data contract for use with my laptop which has an internal 3g radio.  While very convenient, sometime the reception is not great and so I would like to get a dongle as a fall back.  I wondered if I could get a second sim against the same data contract which I can use in the dongle if needed. Thanks.  Mike

If you mean a second SIM with the same number to use in a dongle, that won't be possible, each SIM has it own identification number and allocation of data.

You would however be able to purchase a PAYG dongle or take out a contract with a dongle, both of which would have a SIM as part of the package.
