OT: Two line cell phones

[ncermak]

Can anyone tell me if a two line cell Phone exists...I.E. a phone that will always recieve calls on either line (and be billed to the correct line) and let you select which line you are calling out on.

It just doesn't seem to be that difficult of a concept to me.

I am needless to say sick of carrying around a work cell phone (that I can't use for personal calls, but need in case of emergency)and a personal cell phone...

If you don't know of one, can you tell me why they can't do it?

If you are talking about a GSM phone, then, no. TDMA/CDMA, even more of a no.

I don't know the physical limitations as to why, but I just know that it's not possible.

I think what you can do is have your work phone forwarded to your home cell and you would get the same effect. My parents do it all the time.

Why not just cut a deal with your employer where it's "look, if I have to carry this effin' phone for you, I'll use it for personal stuff too cause I'm not carrying two phones". It's what I did.

large emplkoyers tend to be unreasonable about such things...

but seriously. my phone is tiny, and it has a color screen and a camera. the phone technology maust take up very little space. put a complete second phone in there and a buton to chose from when recieving calls. this doesn't seem to be rocket science...
