how to clone sim card

I have an iPhone and just bought a second phone (samsung galaxy). I want to use both of them and have the same phone number.


How can I clone the sim card in my iPhone to a new sim card that I can put in the samsung?


Thank you so much!

It is not possible to have the same number on 2 phones. That has nothing to do with SIM cards. When you put a SIM card in a phone and turn it on your carrier adds the IMEI of your phone to its database. If you move the SIM card (or put an illegal copy of it) in another phone then that phone’s IMEI will be added to the carrier’s database, replacing the previous IMEI. So there will always be only one phone with a phone number.


You can achieve what you want by subscribing to Google Voice, which is free. Your one GV number can ring on multiple phones, and, using the GV app on your phone, you can make calls using your GV number.
