Thread: 2nd 8.ta sim card?

  1. #1

    Default 2nd 8.ta sim card?

    Is it possible to get a "cloned" second 8.ta sim?
    The reason for this; I took out a contract on the 10 Gig Special. This I use on my home pc with usb dongle.
    I now got a tablet, which I also connect on the internet.
    It's a huge struggle to unplug and switch dongles between devices.
    If it's possible what wil the costs be?

    Unfortunately, the service is not available with 8ta.

    router is one solution. buy a router, inside the sim card, it can provide internet for all your family.
    another solution is using your PC as a site of wifi, it can provide you the internet for ipad even you phone. but your PC and phoen must supoort wifi.

    No..and that is the problem with the Ipad. Buy a wifi router and plug the USB modem into that.

    Are there any updates on the "2 SIMs, one contract" issue/request?

    I already have a router at home (TP-LINK where you can plug the USB modem into) and got my iPad last week. My fiancée takes the modem with her to work, because she's on the road a lot, and my current job doesn't give wifi access to non-company computers.

    I just want to have a micro SIM and the normal SIM, so that there can be no family drama... :P

    Hi NielJoubert!

    Not as yet... We have many queries for this and we have responded and did forward all these queries to our product developers. They confirm that they are working on it and it will be advertised once this is available.

    I wonder if they will be able to do the multi sim feature on prepaid as well. That will give them a one up on other service providers. I'm sure a lot of people will buy the 60+60 promo and like a multi sim deal. Don't know if it will be possible though.

    Hi

    We have received a response and have been informed that while not having a confirmed launch date, it is still on the cards which is in line with Amith Maharaj's statement "This is something that we are considering for the future"
