You can put your credit card info in a .txt file too, but nobody seems to be too concerned...
Being able to rip sim cards and use images of them in the software would be awesome, but I doubt it's possible. Reading and using the SIM is a hardware/firmware-level thing AFAIK.

It can be done with hardware. There is enough room inside the back of the phone for a multi card adapter like this >>. http://www.simore.eu/en/Dual_SIM-168...M_Platinum.php
Once PR1.2 hits and you can dial USSD codes perhaps their software can be accessed or other software written.

Motorola introduced quad radios in a handset 2 or 3 years ago. But that was on iDEN and you were still identified by a single electronic serial number (hashed from 1 SIM). The radios were/are used primarily for packet data. Nextel shut their WiDEN system down because of capacity issues but their are plenty of private networks in airports, or on large business, and university campus's that still use it.

Well, our N900 doesn't have 2 or 4 radios to support multiple SIMs simultaneosly...
The we can use the virtual SIM to switch between operators.
Just do not pre judge the legality of this utility. Consider what would be useful and versatile than the N900 with a software like this.
For peace of all the cellular network does not allow two or more lines or numbers, simultaneously. The second line would be blocked and the operator would contact us to approach his office to review the hitorial calls and data.

Dual sims do work in the 900,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh57kQc9DRc
and talking to the gentleman who created the vid, there is a builtin timer you can use to switch back and forth btween cards. using a service like Google Voice; would eliminate the need to switch back as you could forward calls to one or the other sim card.
Since there is only 1 GSM radio in the device having a virtual radio would be the way to go.

i have been looking for this kind of a virtual sim... this will be very useful for me when i travel - for use in airports and when i go from country to country...
it should allow you to switch to the local country sim card by clicking on some app in the maemo desktop..
any more ideas?

...or of course you can stay in your imaginationland and keep on dreaming and posting here how cool such feature would be...
