I remember the old days when the mobile phone made his appearance here in Belgium. You could see lot of people with 2, 3 sometimes more mobile phones. This had usually to do with the telecom prices (1 phone per network), office and private device, but also... for the show.
Now with the evolution I'm really curious to know why do some people (maybe you) still have more than one mobile phone.
I'm using a P990 at the moment and have my old P910 in his box waiting to be put for sale on Ebay. I really don't see why I should keep that phone as I don't use it anymore. |

Well in my case I use one phone for work (N70 - switched off after hours) and another for my private life (wife, friends etc) .The one sim is subsidized while the other obviously isn't.

My back up was an S710.... I gave it to my son..... no sense in having two phones now. The W810 does everything I need.

Here at my END, we have 3 active local networks . . . the latest of which made a very attractive-nice PROMO, they are giving away FREE - SMS and there are TIME that you can USE it to make FREE calls, provided you have to USE it with the same - network. When this promo was launched YEARS past with this NEW-local network, you can SEE almost everywhere that people starting to USE: 2 mobile phones . . .
It's just a matter of HOW many active SIMcards you have . . . that's why others TEND to own: 2 or 3 fones.

i'm probably one of those belgians who use 2 phones, once had 3 for a few weeks.
like you said, one is cheaper for calling, other one for test and internet.
but these days prices for calling and texting are about the same, and edge on base is the only thing thats cheap enough. (but i use 2 of the vitual operators).
2 phones are handy from time to time, incase one of the networks should fail (then why do mine use the same network :s ), and some use it for the wife and famely and the other for work/dates

I've never used two phones at the same time... and this because I've never had the need. But I can understand people who really need or want that.
I recall all my brothers in law and sisters had 2 or 3 phones in the past, and my old Ericsson AS2812 didn't allow me to have more than 1 number per contact. I had one name 3 times and had to remember which number was used at what time of the day... a real nightmare when I had to call them.

Phone in each trouser pocket on week days because of work. It's a laugh when both phones go off at the same time. :-)

Got 2 phones as well, one contract and one prepaid. Pre-paid is mostly for international calls and private use. The contract one is for business use. |
