Hey Boomer, question for you...

[TheOriginalJames]

Ok so my personal cell phone is on Centennial wireless. and my work phone is on Verizon. My cell phones are both the cheapest nokias from 1 and 2 years ago.

I'm wondering if I could take my personal cell number, push it over to Verizon as a second line on the work phone and just get myself a new phone and use it for both work and personal.

Is that possible to do so that some calls I make are off my minutes, and some are off the minutes my dad pays for?

I'm interested in what the answer is.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Thank you Mikey. Repped.

 

[silentbob]

Do you mean bring the other phone number(from centenial) over to the verizon acount? Or do are you asking if you can have two phone numbers connected to one phone?

YES. lol

I want to take my personal cell number (348 prefix) to my 740 cell phone and have both numbers working off the same phone.

I know I can get my 348 number ported to Verizon, hell it's a Sprint number originally. But I wanna buy myself a new phone and dump both these Pieces of Nokia shits.

 

[Boomer]

No can do. Cant have two numbers on one esn. The switch uses the esn to tell where to route the call, not the actual phone number. It would send the calls through randomly. You wouldnt know what number the calls would dial through on. Hell, neither would the switch! LOL

 

[TheOriginalJames]

ah. ok, that answers my question. Thank you very much sir, Reppage is a'comin your way.

 

[Boomer]

De nada. Any time dood. ; )

Nextel can do that, which is why I prefer them. If you get a nextel phone, you can have two seperate phone numbers on one phone. Just port the numbers from whatever phones you have to one Nextel phone. You will get two lines on one phone. Then, anytime you call someone, you just select which line to use.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I don't like nextel.

 

[Dodge_Sniper]

Eh, they get the job done. I hate the quality of the signals, but I live out in a pretty desolate place, so not that many people to call

I'm pretty sure possibly Cingular or Alltel can do the two-line thing, but I'd have to check.

You can always just have one number and charge your work per month like I do to have access to you on it :lol:.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

haha

Well I don't want to give up my number because I'd have to call 50 million people to let them know my number changed, even though none of them ever call me anyway. and my work number is in order for all of us.

Say a number is 740 8100, the next is 8101, 8102, etc... thats how our numbers go.

... and no those aren't the numbers.

I don't think my dad will want to cancel my number, and then I just use my personal for work also, I did that before and hated it.

Nextel can do that, which is why I prefer them. If you get a nextel phone, you can have two seperate phone numbers on one phone. Just port the numbers from whatever phones you have to one Nextel phone. You will get two lines on one phone. Then, anytime you call someone, you just select which line to use.

I dont know about this man. One esn and two numbers? I would like to see a link or something.

 

[Dodge_Sniper]

Well I can't link you, but I'll try and take a picture of the screen. I can just go into my menu, information, and set up a second line one the phone, and choose which one to use when I call. Whenever I get an incoming call, it'll ring for both numbers on my one phone. But it costs extra, so I don't want that

 

[Boomer]

Well you can get a call forwarding feature that allows your phone calls to be forwarded to another landline number if you dont pick up your cell phone. But I have never heard of anyone being able to have multiple phone lines on one esn. It would have to be a different technology and network. The newest tech out is either GSM or Advanced CDMA.
