A pretty technical solution to a largely legislative or at least market based problem. Can't speak for the effectiveness of pro-consumer lobbies in said countries, but in Australia shouldn't we be focusing on ensuring the ACCC keeps rates fair, rather than working around the problem by using dual SIMs? I prefer bottom-up solutions, rather than top-down workarounds. And if people get used to the idea of using dual SIMs, people will forget there is a problem in the first place.
