Have one phone with fido want to get a second one with the same number
( don't want to swap sim card) is this possible.

Nope, because IF both were on, where would the call go? Obviously they
designed it so that the call goes to one handset.

The only alternative is to use conditional call forwarding so that the calls
are forwarded to the second phone when the first is off.

Cingular has introduced "push to talk" features on its GSM network. When
Rogers introduces the feature, assuming it is also offered on Fido, it
may be possible to get the fonctionality you desire without having same
phone number of 2 handsets.

This used to be possible with Rogers a long time ago (although it wasn't
really legal). There was a company in Montreal which basically cloned your
phone so that 2 phones would share the same number. I'm not sure exactly how
it worked. I was thinking about getting this done when it was first
"offered" because my handset was very weak and I had a "permanent" cellphone
attached in my car which had better signal strength but I never did. There
were also crooks who used this technique of "cloning" to make calls on your
account. From what I heard, when Rogers was not digital this was very easy
to do (cloning phones). The fact that your phone was on meant that someone
could read your information from your phone and duplicate it on their phone
with the proper equipment. They could then make phone calls on your account
when you in fact didn't lose your actual phone.

I forgot to add that I believe now (or I heard) that if you managed to clone
(or copy your GSM SIM), the system in place would deactivate your SIMs in
the event that both SIMs were on at the same time and try to register
themselves on the network. I'm not sure if this is true or not...

Now there's a thought cloning a sim card um?
