On: Nexus: The best of Google, now in three sizes

In the UK the last operator to stop doing this (Vodafone) stopped around 2004, the others in the 2-3 years before that.

Was really handy for a car-phone (remember those!) sim which meant the car rang pre-bluetooth days.

Less relevant these days but i also have an old BMW E38 i cherish which would benefit from such a setup were it available today.

I was just thinking about that. I've got a 2004 era Mercedes with a built in car phone and was wondering if I was supposed to get a distinct phone number for it, which seems preposterous.
