i dont know why this is so hard for you to grasp....

yes, you can have all 3 of those numbers... the gsm one would be through a SIM card-solved

itll have your main cdma # - solved, thats line #2 now

and the 3rd number, you cant do it without cloning... WE cant help you with that here in the US... none of us are willing to break such a prominent Federal Law and Forum Rule...

weve told you the things you need to know already...

I am never clone my ESN but our carrier here allow us to have their number along with other carrier number. No one being let down right?
As my understanding, cloning is puting others ESN to our phone and vice versa, what do you describe the clonning ?

You should know that no carrier do care about service programming of their customers cellphone. They only process what they have to do, they might help in some setting of the phone, but service programming cellphones I doubt they care about it.......

In my country U can use 1 gsm (with the sims), and 2 cdma (in different bands), they use as modem evdo the first cdma line, and the second just for calling etc.

I don't care what country, I only want to know regarding the LINE switching option.......but seems that xicloe trying to tell that the TP2 is supporting DUAL NAME

@xicloe
does this also happen with Sprint TP2 ?

Dual NAM used to be very popular back in the AMPS days; these days people simply buy multiple phones. US carriers will still set up Dual NAMs (it's totally unrelated to cloning) if you are knowledgeable and manage to get someone who's more than averagely competent (and your handset supports it, of course, which is precisely what the OP is trying to determine with the TP2).

tjienan, I'll poke at that registry key in a little while and report back with my findings. My TP2 is with Sprint, who historically doesn't support Dual NAM (they never had their own AMPS network, and therefore customers expecting the ability, even 20 years later...). So, a negative won't rule out the ability, but a positive would bode very well for you.

For those of you unfamiliar with Dual NAMs and are equating it with cloning, it's no more cloning than your office phone with 2 outside lines. The hardware supports it, the network supports it, and the operator supports it. It's totally legit, but isn't something usually requested by the Average Joe, as it's almost always been a "business" feature.

UPDATE: I've tested. The registry key quoted on page 2 does indeed give the Switch NAM page. \Windows\switchnam.htm has full instructions on what to do once you've set the registry key. It doesn't even look like you need to do a soft reset! I couldn't actually test, as I only have 1 NAM, but it appears the handset certainly supports it.
