Surely, many of MTS subscribers thought about why a cellular operator cannot introduce such a service as providing a client with several SIM cards with the same number. Well, it would be great, one in the phone, the other in the tablet, used purely for the Internet, and the third, which would be ideal, in the car, provided that it has a built-in gadget. This would be an ideal solution: you top up a single account and use the devices at your own discretion.

On this moment there is no such option. Neither MTS nor any other company mobile communications in the territory Russian Federation, does not provide SIM card duplication services. You won't be able to do this on your own either.

What is this connected with? A number of subscribers would be happy to take advantage of such an offer. In fact, at the moment this is impossible from a technical point of view and undesirable from a practical point of view.

Is it possible to clone a SIM card yourself?

This opportunity existed back in the 2000s, from the beginning to the middle. Technically, creating a clone of a card at home was not difficult. To do this, you needed basic equipment, some kind of programmer, and, of course, Personal Computer. At the moment, law enforcement agencies and mobile operators are fighting for the so-called “purity of the air.” That is, modern SIM cards are so advanced compared to their ancestors that it is simply impossible to clone them. The encryption protocol makes it impossible for even the most advanced hacker to find the key.

In general, of course, you can try, but attempt will result in the main Sim becoming a useless piece of plastic. Therefore, here it is worth thinking about saving your time and acting officially, that is, purchasing cards with different numbers for all your gadgets. In fact, this will not cause any difficulties, since you can now top up your account without leaving home, and there is a huge selection tariff plans allows you to optimize your costs and reduce them to a minimum. Even with different personal accounts MTS numbers.

And also, when thinking about such a possibility as a duplicate sim, just think about what risk you are exposing yourself, your data, and your funds too, given that now the majority bank cards, accounts, commercial activities are tied to phones. If a clone of the card ends up in the possession of a dishonest person, then at the very least you can lose money, and in the worst case scenario, find yourself suspected of some kind of crime.

What is a TWIN card

MTS TWIN card – this is a special service that offers its users to get two SIM cards with an identical number. At the moment, it is officially impossible to purchase a TWIN kit in the Russian Federation. However, on the territory of Belarus you can take advantage of such an offer. To do this, you need to contact the office and write an application for the provision of services.

Cards can be used in one telephone set, or in two different ones, and there are two modes of operation of Twin cards:

• Simultaneous, when both SIM cards are active on the network and can receive calls. Here the cards can be of different sizes, both standard and micro; their size must be indicated in the application for the set. In this case, dialing can be parallel or sequential; this is also indicated in the application.
• Alternating - when the first card is working, the second one loses activity on the network, that is, the equipment where the second one is installed will need to be turned off while the first one is working. In this case, SIM cards will only be standard sizes.

The mode is determined by the subscriber himself when purchasing the kit. It can only be changed by contacting a communication shop, which will probably require replacing the entire set.

Reception of messages, text or multimedia, is available only for one of the SIM cards. You can purchase the kit at any of the MTS communication stores in Belarus; it costs 12.5 rubles in the currency of the republic. You can cancel your Twin Card by visiting any nearest salon.

There is also a restriction on the use of Twin cards on a number of tariffs, these are:

• Unlimited;
• Corporate unlimited Internet;
• Internet for home.
