iphone multiple telephone numbers syncing?

Hi,


I have an iPhone an iPad and a MacPro and sync everyhting with iCloud (SMS, Photostream, Safari bookmarks) with this three devices.


My question: I am in a new job, where I have to travel a lot from Europe to USA and in Europe around, requiring me, to put in different countries different SIM-cards into my iphone 5... Does this work well with all the syncing? Anyone experience with this?. Of course I have to add all the new SIM cards and therefore telephone numbers to my icloud-Account. But is this working, like when I have not used one or the other SIM-Card for weeks or months?


Thanks for any help and anyone experienced with this situation?


thanks for reading, Rob

Hi ckuan, pdroth and thanks for your quick answers.


As far as I think about the situation, there are two "problem zones".


1. the synchronized iMessage timeout from Apple. I notice, when my iPad is switched off for a longer time, so the iMessage conversation will not load all message I had in the meantime on my MacPro. So only the last ones are there. There is never a guarantee of completion here and there (only on the hardware where it was written and received....)


2. The SMS which are received to the SIM-card A (not over iMessage) and direct to the "actual SIM Phone number"... When answering to these "normal" SMS, this will get confusing for the recepient, because I have received on telephone number A and answered from telephone number B... I am not even sure, that this will work...
