Two cell phones with the same number
July 12, 2006

Is there a way for GSM phones to have two phones that work with the
same number? I have two phones and use one for work and a handset for
outside of work. Can both phones have the same phone number without
swapping SIM cards?

Sorry, Aviyam, you're a bit ahead of your time on this one. While
you'd think cell phones would have this capability, especially since
they can play music and take pictures, at present, it's not possible to
have two handsets tied to the same phone number in the United States. Some carriers in Singapore and Europe offer this functionality, however. While you may find it
inconvenient to switch your SIM card between your two phones, that's
what you'll have to do for now. Conversely, phones are available that
accommodate two SIM cards. They aren't offered by a U.S. carrier, but they are available
in Europe.
