Setup cloud services it connects to on your own infrastructure and you can just sync your contacts and get 99% of everything that way on any Android phone. I keep all my media online in a database and it's super convenient for any usage.

How do you have duplicate SIM cards?

T-Mobile offers 'Data with Paired Digits' lines; $10/mo for 600kbps max data and $20/mo for high-speed data. The second sim receives calls and most texts same as the first. The possible dealbreaker is short-code SMS never arrives to the Paired Digits line. Technically, the second sim has its own number, and T-mobile routes calls and texts to both lines.
