I think that the forwarding is set in your account at the carrier level (like voice mail). I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can verify or dispute this.
SkypeIn gives you a number that ppl can use to call your Skype account. You chose from a list of numbers for a given area code. Skype also provides call forwarding.
Not sure if this would apply to your situation, but when I am in Australia, my (Australian and US) SkypeIn numbers forward to my AU number. When in the US, they forward to my US (T-Mobile) number. I just update the forwarding settings before I hop on the plane and switch SIMS on arrival.
What I want is have one phone off but a sim card still in there then use another phone with another sim card with same old phone number I been using, so this goes back to my original post hehehe.
I'll just call usa tmobile and see if they have multi sim .

I also use second SIM (service called twinsim here). one in N900 and second in N5210.
when 5210 is switched on then it rings first (10sec) and then call redirects to N900.
when 5210 is off then call goes straight to N900.
second SIM has "hidden" phone number. SMS is not redirected so when i want to send sms to my second phone then i must use that "hidden" number.

Dual SIMs with the same number is probably your best option.

Hi,
Using 2 sim cards with one number here in Holland (T-Mobile). N900 and N82, just in case my N900 battery is drained or when going to places I do not want/need an N900. I can, however, only us one at a time.

When I got my n900, I subscribed to a second account with new phone number for it and kept the old phone number with my old (very small) phone.
One reason was that the 2nd account with 3.5 Mbps flat rate data transfer was cheaper than just 1 Mbps flat rate data added to the old account.
Additional benefit is that I do not need to carry n900 everywhere. I mostly use it as a computer (like mini laptop).
