Question:

Can my mobile phone have two numbers?

I have a business online which i need to put my mobile number onto. The thing is can i have a different number on my mobile that i can put online, which is linked to the same phone.Sorry i know you must be thinking WHY but i have my reasons. Thanks

Answer:

nope you should just go get a cheap or used phone even though they will charge you for service you get the basic plan and most of the time if you don't buy a fancy phone after the rebate the phone its self is free
not as far as i know, i think you can just get two sims and use the same phone for both would have to keep switching I also seem to remember something about a two sim holder you could have in the back of the phone but again i believe it had switching
Only with a dual SIM device: Dual SIM phones Mobile phones with simultaneous dual SIM capability built in have the advantage that there are no possible legal issues, breach of contract, or voiding of warranty. They allow both SIMs to be active simultaneously and allow calls to be received on either number, unlike adapters that make one or other number active as required. Normal GSM phones contain a single transceiver; dual-SIM phones must have dual transceivers, and need to display signal strength for both networks. A phone with a single transceiver cannot be converted to simultaneous dual-SIM operation; at most it can be made switchable with the use of an adapter. Although battery life (talk time and standby time) of dual-SIM phones is reduced, typically by about a third, when both SIMs are active, to compensate this they often came with better capacity batteries compared to single-SIM phones. As of Autumn 2007 some little-known Chinese companies supply inexpensive dual-SIM mobiles, mainly in Asian countries. The latest model include I-phone look alike which is the smallest dual-SIM phone ever built. Philips has made models Xenium and 699 with this capability belonging to the restart to change active-line generation. Samsung also released the D880 DuoS in November 2007, a slider which can hold two SIM cards with simultaneous standby, and E Ten will have announced a dual SIM 3G phone for October 2008 from their Glofish range. The WIKI dual SIM phone with integrated TV is also increasingly popular in the African region.
