No, which is why using the Verizon card is advantageous. You'd get a unique # with that SIM card and it would in no way be tied to your Verizon account. The only reason you'd want to do this is if you are traveling to somewhere that Global roaming using your Verizon SIM card would be really expensive. For example, if you travel to the UK and use the Verizon SIM card, you will pay $1.29 a minute. Rather than do that, you could purchase a pre paid card when you get to the UK with a bucket of minutes and pay a lot less. That card in no way would be tied to your Verizon account and calls will not forward to that #, but at least you're paying a lot less with that card that you would be with Verizons.
