    I carry a personal phone and a business phone, but I really don't want to carry two phones.

    Is there any way that I can have one phone with two phone numbers?

    I am with Verizon right now, but I may consider a change if I have to in order to make this happen.

    Thanks for any advice.

    VZW does not support DualNAM...so no.

    No you can not with verizon. There are some phones that have dual sim card slots that you can use on networks that use that technology. Verizon does not.

    Couldn't you just use call forwarding?

    That would be potentially very expensive. If you forward a cell phone to another cell phone, the phone that is being forwarded is being charged airtime twice: once to receive the call, and at the same time for the same call to send it back out. You also pay in minutes for the call coming into the phone that is receiving the forwarded call.

    So do you really want to use three minutes of combined call for every minute of real call time?

    I don't know of a single cell carrier that does not operate that way, by the way.

    If both of the cell numbers were Verizon, they would be mobile to mobile and hence - free.
