Default Two cell phones, one number

I am going to be buying a cell phone soon, actually 2, my sprint that I got a couple months ago isnt hacking it. I want a Treo 650 for work/day time things when Im wearing a suit, or have my laptop case with me, and a razor/very small phone, that I can carry with me when I go out at night etc. I dont want to ahve to carry the treo around all the time, is the point. Can you have 2 cell phones with the same phone number? I dont want 2 seperate lines/numbers, because thats a pain for business etc, and forwarding numbers all the time is also a pain, but Ill do that if I have too.

I think you're going to have to forward (and pay an extra $10-$20 per month for the second line).

Get Cingular and you can swap your SIM card between any phones you have. T-Mobile too, but they suck.

Can you do that with Sprint (Im under contract), and is there anyway to copy sim cards (illegal/legal), so I dont have to swap everyday?

I Dont think switching out your sim card changes the assigned IP..I could be wrong. Sim cards are used to store personal contact information and phone settings. The phone IP is assigned by your phone carrier and doesnt change

I don't know what you mean, but my old phone got pretty much eaten by my dog. I put the SIM card into my sister's old phone, and have been using that ever since.

I did some googling, and yes, your sim card is what identifies your phone etc. Its possible to have 2 phones with the same number, but I do not think its necassarily legal.
