Well yes, I can do that - but it's not a solution to the problem of 
wanting to use a PlusNet SIM in one slot and a '3' SIM in the other - 
both of which require 3G.

The solution I'm using at the moment is to resurrect my old '3' S2 
Skypephone and put the '3' SIM back in that. That means using two 
handsets rather than one, which isn't very satisfactory - quite apart 
from the fact that the S2 isn't smart (and no longer supports Skype for 
that matter) but I can at least receive calls and texts on it.
