By the way, it also works with data, not just phone calls.
I have stumbled upon this article:

But where is it said that multi-sim is part of GSM standard?

I know, it would be great to have several phones with identical SIM cards and history synchronisation.

It's just curious whether these SIM cards are completely identical, slightly different or completely-different-and-using-network-operator's-workaround-to-share-one-phone-number?
