Handling multiple SIMs from a single company/family account
By: ivida | 14-02-2010 02:10
This idea was brought up by several posts earlier (see 1,2) and Vincent has even posted
a partial solution, but apparently it hasn't yet made it to this page.
The proposal is to have the possiblity to handle more than one SIMs from
a single account. This would be useful for companies, families, couples
and any other groups, if handling of the SIMs' administration/finances
is performed by one person.
The point is not necessarily to have only a single account for the SIMs,
i understand that at the moment the system requires the creation of an
account for each SIM.
The point is much more to have the possibility to define a master account from
which you can access relevant settings of all the SIMs within the associated pool.
Not only to top-up (this is not a problem as you can top-up any number through
the giffgaff pages) but also to activate/inactivate auto top-up or set speding limits, etc.
Another important aspect of a company/family pool os SIMs would be to handle the
credits more flexibly: to have the possibility to transfer credit from one SIM to
the other. Tthere was some discussion about implementing some form of credit
transfere on giffgaff (1,2) - in my opinion company/family SIM pools would be a good
argument to push such a feature and also an excellent context for the development
and testing.

This is a great idea. As a parent I want to be able to manage my children's accounts as and when required.
10 years since suggested and 2 years since last staff update!
I'll be dead and the kids left home by the time it's delivered! :-)

Yeah, family of 5.only Bill payer in the house. One main account to rule them all would be great.

I will support this 100% because I used to have 3 sims only contract from Tesco mobile for myself, my son and daughter in which I was the main account administrator.
All the payment comes out of my account and it was a lot easier to maintain.
we also got family pecks for having multiple sim only contracts.
Giffgaff should listen to their customers because we are the most important people who are patronising this mobile company.

You could have a scenario where if under a single account controller there were say 3 or 4 SIMs on recurring goodybags (eg controller's personal SIM, controller's work SIM, partner's SIM and Child's SIM) an extra block of data could be bought each month to top up any SIM card which ran out of data before renewal.

The sooner this idea comes to be implemented the better. I have a dual SIM Phone and it is a constant irritation having to have two IDs to manage the two cards. I also manage my wife's card and would much prefer to do this through a single ID.

I’d like to be able to have a matching SIM card for my ipad air with the same number as my phone.
So in other words a duplicate sim. It would be annoying to have to pay for 2 separate accounts... both for me!

Unfortunately, I believe having two SIMs with the same number is illegal … I have more than one SIM; each has their own number, account, and separate device.

when will this come out to control all cards by one account.
