2 Numbers on 1 Phone?

Is this possible?

I currently have to carry 2 phones, personal and company. I would like to have both numbers on my 6700.

I have done the forward to my 6700 from the other phone but I don't really like that setup.

SO anyone done this? Does it work?

I know on Sprint there is only one NAM, so you can't on Sprint. I don't know if the Verizon version does or not. I remember running dual NAMs on my Nokia phones back in the day. When Sprint caught me running dual NAMs they locked out the second NAM. But I honestly don't know if the Apache has that ability or not. Go into programming mode and look. If there is a NAM1 and NAM2 setting you can do it. If not, then it's doubtful.

NAM Settings is only listed NAM in PST (##77

.

Guess out of luck on this one.

I think so. It's kinda weird that HTC wouldn't put dual NAM ability in this phone....

Ya, this phone is great but it would be better if I could have dual numbers on it....did have a motorola that had dual numbers before I got the 6700.

Anyone know if the 6800 or 6900 has dual NAM?

6800 has dual NAM - as matter of fact a lot of guys are disabling one of them so they can teather without getting nailed...

Can you explain how this prevents you from getting nailed ??

By default it uses the 2nd NAM when teathering. Turn off the 2nd NAM and it uses the 1st one instead. What's really stupid is even if it's using the 2nd one to teather, to accept a phone call on the 1st one it shuts off the 2nd one until the call ends...so you still cant talk and teather at the same time.

call fowarding? my home phone (comcast) lets you foward calls by pressing *73

call forward works but has limitations....and some carries charge for calls that are forwarded to another phone (from land line to cell or cell to cell).
