Yes I want 2 numbers in the phone, mostly verizon phone have this capability, TP1 also support this. So does TP2 also has the same capability ?

well sprint doesnt support it i know that.. its usally not that the device wont, its more the carrier doesnt so the things you do to accomplish it are borderline illegal..

google voice allows you to set up a number, and assign it to upto 3 other devices... so people can call your TP2 on either the GV number or your VZW number.. you can also place calls,sms this way too.... you can technically accomplish zero minutes out and zero minutes in as far as your carrier is concerned using GV..

check it out and if you like it, i have an invite i can send you.. just PM me your email add if you like it and ill get ya invited

The main problem is I already have two carriers numbers, the google voice might not be a solution for me. So this TP2 actually support the DUAL NAM or not ?

It might, but vzw might not want you to be able to. Read up on EPST settings, there might be something in there which allows you to do it.

if what your asking isnt something you cant call your carrier and ask to do... so your carrier doesnt support it..

if you have 2 seperate lines on VZW and you want both numbers to call on ONE device... its not gonna happen.. not without "clever programming" and any and every devices supports that.. but you cant ask for help, not on this site..

Yes it might need service programming but it will never work if the phone does not support the DUAL NAM capability, just like most Sprint phone.....
One thing I might not have tell, I am not in United States. But our carrier here allow us to have two numbers in one device.
And I am very sure that it is impossible to have two active line altogether. I just need both number but of course they are stand alone for each call, 1 number can not be use while I am using the other one. All I want to know is does the phone has this capability ?
