Just wondering how many people here use 2 phones? And why? I use a iphone 6 plus (O2) and a blackberry Q10 (vodafone) I like the keyboard of the blackberry and get a better signal on vodafone. I got a 20% discount on my iPhone 6 plus through work on O2 but get a low signal :(

Re: Second phone?

Seems it'd be an expensive proposition. I just own one. Even with a 20% discount, I'd still get an iPhone with Vodafone and call it even ;)

Re: Second phone?

I'm in that boat. I pay T-Mobile simply because they offer unlimited data. I do not worry about how I use my phone. 95% of the time I'm in an area where T-Mobile gets a great signal. I'm mostly satisfied with it.

However, there is that 5% where it's just not safe or tolerable for me to go into areas without service. These times I use AT&T prepaid. It's a costly venture at $60 a month but I'd explored with many other services. AT&T is the one that works in all the outlying areas with the utmost dependability.

Overall I can end up paying $170 a month, but for a person like me cellphones are my hobby.

Re: Second phone?

I'm a freak. I've got an iPhone 6, a Note 4, and a Lumia 1520 which I run concurrently on three separate lines. I have a Q10 but I no longer use it, it's there in my kitchen drawer.

Why don't you sell the q10 to get the 6 plus you've been saving up for?

I don't anticipate ever buying another BlackBerry anymore. So I'll keep it as the last of a line.
It's nearly worthless anyway. Looking at what I would get for it, it's less than what I paid.

Edit: I should explain that I bought it used at 200 bucks. It's worth less than that now.

Which phone's number do you give out to family and your very best friends? And do you give creditors the Blackberry number? Oh...wait..

I prefer to use one phone. I have good signal coverage in my area. The only reason I would carry two phones is if one was issued to me as a requirement of my job.

Re: Second phone?

I use 2 devices. One reason is to limit telemarketers,the second reason is in case one breaks a backup is available,third reason is to test jailbroken apps to see how they perform before I put it on my main phone

Re: Second phone?

I plan on buying a Moto X 2014 to go along with my iPhone 6 and just swap SIM cards out depending on what phone I want that day 😀

Re: Second phone?

I currently only have one phone. I've thought about dabbling in the Android world again, but at this point don't feel like investing the time and money.

Family and friends get the iPhone number. Colleagues and businesses get the Note 4 or whatever Android I am running there. The Lumia is my spare line that used to belong to my ex mother in law and I paid for. After the split I took it over.

Re: Second phone?

I do live the #2Phonez lifestyle with my iPhone on Tmo's unlimited data and the Droid Turbo on Verizon. I had the turbo first for few months but got a pretty good deal on the iPhone from swappa. I ended up just opening an $80 unlimited on it and keeping both lines open. Since I use Google Voice, both phones ring when I get a call which makes the whole thing super fun in social situations. It's even better when I have the iPad. Like a symphony of notifications.

Re: Second phone?

I am currently using two iPhones - the iPhone 6 Plus (Primary) and the iPhone 5S (backup and home surveillance), but I only carry around the iPhone 6 Plus. Back in the day, however, I carried around 2 blackberry devices, a pager, and two radios on two different frequencies. I was a walking lightning rod...:)
