2 phone numbers 1 phone

[twistedfish]

Okay I saw the thread about 1 line on two phones....I know illegal. My question is....back in the day you could have dual NAMs (I think that is what is was called). I would really like to be able to put both my work phone and my personal phone on one device (legally of course) so that I don't have to carry two phones. Both phones are Sprint phones.

Anyone got any ideas...or am I just Boned!! LOL

Thanks

call sprint and ask if it can be done.

It can be done I have a friend that has a similar situation and he called his carrier and they set it up for him without a problem .. they charge him for the set up like 36.00 which was a one time charge .... let me know how it works for you ...

Number Assignment Module (NAM) - The NAM is the electronic memory in the cellular phone that stores the telephone number and an Electronic Serial Number.

how is this any different than what the other thread was about? i told the other poster all i was comfortable telling him, but why isnt this identical?

kinda opening yourself up for flamming and mod interaction id think...

[twistedfish]

It is different because I am not looking to "cheat" anyone out of anything. I pay for two seperate phone bills (one for personal and one for business) I am simply trying to find out if I can carry them on the same phone. The other thread he was trying to beat the system and use the same phone number on two devices...phone companies make money on services.

Back in the early 90's I had phone that I did just this thing leagally...through LA Cellular. At that time they actually advertised it as a service, to the best of my knowledge no phone company has ever offered that you can use the same number on multiple phones and since the begining of cell service that has been considered cloning.

I don't see where this opens me up for flaming...I am asking a legit question about what was a legit service at one time. At that time I could just progam the second number without even calling the carrier without breaking any carrier rules. That was the type of information I was looking for nothing more and nothing else.

Thanks for you help!

*sighs* No, I wasn't trying to beat the system, and get a free phone line. Please know what your talking about before you make assumptions. Had you, or anyone else, brought what your talking about up, as a means to the end of my problem, I would've actually tried to solve my problem with your solution.

And actually, I know a few business chaps, that frequent the hotel next to where I work. They have cricKet as they're home line, and Verizon as they're work line, and have them both linked to LG Voyagers. Some services don't work mind you. But the phone is registered to both companies. And works for 2 different lines, on the same phone.

Sorry....I was being defensive and I should not have implied that you were trying to accomplish anything illegal. Peace Brother!

its a world of difference because several cell companies, at one time, offered 2 lines on one phone. its just like having 2 lines run into your house. if you have the correct phone(dual line) you can answer either line with the same phone. the other thread was about ESN cloning and a totally different setup.
