I don't know if the N900 has support for it or not. Not that any US networks support it anyway (for those of us in the US).
sounds to me like such a setup would take up the equivalent of two calls in the cell one is connected to at the moment, not surprising if not many operators make said feature available, if it exists (first i have heard of it).
