    I split my time between my St. Louis office and a branch in Tampa.

    Having Tampa customers call my St. Louis # with the area code is confusing and a
    pain for them. And for me to call them while in Tampa.

    I heard that you can get 2 numbers on 1 phone?
    Could I get a Tampa area code number added to my phone? (Moto V400)

    Thanks!

    Dual NAMs are not uncommon, but can you get ONE phone that will respond to
    TWO different phone numbers at the same time?

    I had a Motorola analog flip phone, from back in the Cellular One days, that
    had dual NAMs, but it had to be switched on to one number or the other.
    Callers that tried to get through on the other number were treated as though
    the cell phone were turned off--they either got an out-of-area message or
    they went directly to voicemail.

    It's called Alternate Line Service.

    Nextel can do that.

    I'm unaware of any cellular handset that allows more than one NAM to be
    active during the same nanosecond. Manually switching between NAMs is a
    simple matter.

    Have you considered using voice over IP (VoIP)? Incoming lines are
    on the order of $8/month. Then you'd pay two or three cents per
    minute for an outgoing call to your mobile phone. That's if you
    want to handle it on your own. (It would be good if your VoIP
    number is used infrequently and you want to keep costs low).

    Another option is to get a VoIP service that offers this service as
    part of a package. VoicePulse, for example, calls it Multi-Ring.
    http://www.voicepulse.com/features/a...MultiRing.aspx
    You would need to get one of their business plans, so that puts you
    in the $50/month range but you could offset the cost by replacing a
    landline with it. You can get as many "virtual numbers"
    http://www.voicepulse.com/features/s...alNumbers.aspx
    as you want.

    One big advantage of going this route is that if you just give out
    your VoIP number(s), you can switch mobile phone providers (or even
    ring through to landlines) with ease. So if you want to let
    someone else take care of business for a weekend, simply set the
    calls to go to his number instead of yours.

    Wasn't offered by Cingular here the last time I checked but is available
    from some other GSM carriers. BUT, if you do a Google usenet search on
    it there's a lot of problems. Apparently it complicates ROAMING no end,
    ie one line may roam but the other won't and voice mail is usually on
    the one that doesn't etc etc. Guess there hasn't been enough demand for
    it for the carriers to work out the bugs. Would be nice though--I could
    probably drop my one-number service with it. Maybe next year Cingular
    will have time to fix it.

    Not for several years now. And even then, only one was available at a time.

    Never has that been an option - never!

    Now, you can get two (land line) numbers, on in St Louis and one in Tampa and
    forward them both to your cell phone.

    This will increase your Long Distance phone bill but for business it might be
    worth it.

    If you signed up with a real company...you know, one that used SIM cards you
    can have two numbers on one phone easily. There's a special item that let's
    you use two SIM cards in one phone and operate them at the same time. Since
    Verizon doesn't use SIM cards and the rest of the world does, there's more
    options and features in the SIM world.

    True.

    >and operate them at the same time.


    Not true -- one or the other.

    But not because of SIM cards, because of volume.

    Unless you count Nextel, which does this just fine.

    The SIM is not the qualifier- Nextel was using dual NAM's long before they
    started using SIM cards.

    Jay,

    This is possible but Cingular does not sell the service.
