Hi

I will soon start a new job where I will have a company phone and a company phone number. I will still have my private phone and want to use it for private calls and texts etc. I am allowed to use my company phone for private purposes, but I don't want to make private calls/text from the company number since it will confuse people.

Do I have any other options than carrying two phones, or do you guys have some experience with smart ways that can solve this?

I checked out that link. Yikes! What a kludge. I think this only makes sense if you can't afford a second phone, and must have a second phone number.

Ignoring the kludge, the "NeeCoo" only works on 2G GSM, so the only major carrier in the US it will work on is T-Mobile. However, if you're on T-Mobile, a much better solution is T-Mobile "Digits", which supports multiple phone numbers on a single device, with a single SIM card.
