Every SIM has it's unique IMSI and Ki (these are tied together), but they may have assigned the same MSISDN by HLR. If there are more cards connected, the network will route the call to the card with higher priority or to the one, which did the last location area update. The process itself is a

AFAIK, the duplicate SIM cards are not equivalent cards. They have different IMSI and different Ki code. Only the network's configuration bind them to the same phone number. Theoretically you could have a dozen of them, but usually only one is allowed to receive the calls. This should clarify

SIM cards are smartcards. They can not be copied by design! The only way to duplicate a SIM is to hack it. No idea if and how far that is possible. But it is certainly not legal. Ask your provider for a duplicate SIM. Many providers will give you multiple identical SIM if you need them. (At
