new to cellphones and stupid about them ...

I have a cingular gophone account now. Is it possible to have two phones with two sim cards on one account? Is it a good idea to purchase a Cingular SIM card off of Ebay?

Do you want the same phone number? If so, no. Otherwise you can have more than one number on the same account.

Does more than one # cost more on the Cingular account?

Yeah, for about $10 USD per # and you share time. I think it is called the family share plan, or some thing like that.

Thanks.

Can't afford another $10 a month right now. I was hoping I could run two phones off one account and one #.

Why would you want one number with two phones? You could clone your SIM card and place in into another phone. Do a Yahoo or Google search on how to clone a SIM and I am sure you can accomplish it.

I'm forgetful person and I want to keep one phone in my purse or car.

What if you forget your purse?

Then I'm sunk - because my purse is my briefcase and I would not make it out the door without it.

Seriously though, I've been leaving the phone behind at home and I need it as I commute great distances on the road to my jobs.

Well, another idea might be to keep the cell phone in the car while at home, and just use your land-line phone while at home.

That won't work, as I like to have my cellphone at night for those free night and weekend minutes to make long distance calls. I'd like to have one phone always at home - and one always with me on the road.

I hear you there. I do the same thing with my minutes.

The only phone I use is my mobile. I don't have a home phone. Last week I left it at home everyday and I was fine, I did not mean to leave it at home though. I don't like talking all that much anyway, and if I needed to call anyone I could just use my desk phone.
