Those of you with multiple phones

[Lepa79]

I always notice you calling your phone Carol Blue. Is that some special edition thing? Or are you mispelling coral blue? But it has been consistently 'carol' whenever I see your posts.

Hahaha, I never realized my mistake. Thanks for the correction!

Probably a weird autocorrect once and then now it's just a suggestion on the keyboard?

I have 3 phones with one sim. I just pop the sim out of one and out into the the other. Just always have to remember to sign out of iMessage when switching from my 7+ to an android phone.

Same. I just don't even activate iMessage anymore when using my iPhone.

Switching SIMs is a pain in the behind I think. I have S7 Edge and pixel XL. WhatsApp is a pain as you have to activate every single time.

Yeah, this with LINE too. Kind of annoying, but I like having the freedom to change phones.

I love this thread by the way. I have texts all over my phones. Thankfully, they all use one cloud photo backup solution and the rest of the apps are generally the same across the platforms and no activation required.

I have 2 dual sim phones, Moto G4 Plus and Lumia.I have my primary sim in my Android and a different sim in my Lumia.The second sim was one my son used in this city while in high school though in a different phone (he was a minor and wasn't allowed a mobile connection in his name).I like my Lumia a lot so I have kept that 3G sim in my Lumia and use it at times.

I have a line on ATT and one VZ to have complete coverage. I am a road salesman and there are times where one will drop in an area so I just pick up
the other line and get thru. Also I mostly use one line as business and the other for personal unless I get into a weak area of coverage. If I ever change
jobs, I would likely go back to one line.

I use my phones as pocket computers. I rarely make or receive phone calls. Because of that I would love to have at least 2 lines. I'd like to always have the latest iPhone & fav Android phone connected. I like variety.

In my opinion, that's really fun to have. I didn't get this before last year but whoa it's nice to have the choice and enjoy both. I only have one line though so I just switch the SIM. Not enough of a boss to have two...but also having two would probably confuse me anyway since I do text and make and receive phone calls. Texting more so though.

Those with two or more phones, curious how often you switch them out. I just got a Note 5 the other day and have been preferring it over my 7Edge. I swap the sim between the two phones.

I've got 4 phones. S7E was my daily driver. I fell for the hype and Got a pixel. They suck. Went back to my S7E. Then I tried the ZTE axon 7 mini for the great audio. I liked it so much, I bought the axon7. It's a remarkable device especially if you're an audiophile. It's now my daily driver.

Do you frequently sim swap between those?

I switch between iPhone 7 and Samsung S7.
The biggest problem is transferring the music I downloaded from Apple Music to the Android device.
I need to convert those DRM-ed Apple Music files to plain MP3 files (with Apple Music Converter) at the first place and then copy them to S7.

I use 3 phones daily...main phone lumia 950 2nd S7 edge and iphone 5...now iam selling lumia 950 and s7 edge...and getting Axon 7 6gb ram and 128gb...will wait for s8 or Nokia phone launch...

Curious about price and if rooted.

I am definitely on my Note 5 more, even with the battery seeming to die down quicker than the 7edge, I just love the screen size and spen

Thats a good question!
I normally switch on a daily basis.
Using the one device for all my texting, emails and occasional calls. While the other is used for watching videos, gaming and browsing the web. (bigger screen) but to be honest it sometimes becomes a hassle. The reason i say that is because i keep having to charge 2 devices and i only have 1 working charger lol. (if you have them charging together I'm sure that would be fine)

I have an extra note 5 as my back up phone. I'll only use it if something happens to my s7 and I have to send it in. When the note 7 debacle happened I just popped my sims card into my note 5 until I got another phone. Everything worked the same.

I have two phones. I have a Pixel XL and a Galaxy S7 edge. Thanks to T-Mobile I now have a duplicate sim for my main number using the Digits service. No more sim swapping.

Hmm I've never heard of that what do they charge for a duplicate sim and how does it work?

Right now it's in public beta so it's free. No idea what the cost will be when the beta is over. But it's nice to have my unlimited data on two phones. What's even better is that Digits is built into the S7 Edge so if I send a text on the Pixel it syncs back to the Edge (doesn't happen the other way though). S7 also allows for virtual lines. So I have a second phone line that I use for work on my Edge as well all with native support.

Edit: They essentially put a dummy number on a SIM card and then you link your real number via the Digits portal to that dummy number and sim. Now it basically acts like your primary number for calls, texts, data...
