So my new job just sent me a work phone. Skipping the unimportant details, what is a convenient way to carry around 2 phones everyday?

Convenient? lol it can be hard I know. I settled on my personal phone in my pocket and work phone on belt clip. Hey its work right?

Have a friend with a dual sim phone, LG I think, he says the phone is so so, but the ease of one phone wins for him.

Týr is wise! Carrying around two phones gets old quickly...

Or, you can suggest to your company that rather than giving you a phone they should reimburse you for a portion of your monthly bill on your personal phone. This is what I did when my employer wanted me to be available by cell for work. This will save you some hassle and the company some money.

Devan, just get a man purse. It will also have ample room for your tampons and such :)

Its win-win!

Being honest here, we like to drink in college and I took a second phone to remove the possibility of drunk dialing my boss or clients. I did have the option to get part of my personal phone implemented but didnt want the possibility for issues. I can leave the work phone at home when I go out.

Guess I am just SOL and will get one of them little clip pouches.

Been carrying around 2 phones for the last year, it sucks. I know some at work just forward one of the phones to the 2nd telephone.

Ask to use your phone and expense $100 a month towards it.

I know you don't want my :2 on this, but here it is anyway. At what point did it become "essential" for one to carry about a personal phone 24/7? The easiest solution would be to use your work phone for work, and save your personal life, and phone, for those times you're not getting paid to do your job.


;s , but that's how an old fart like me thinks.

I started Carrying two phones because the IRS wanted me to document every call that was part of the phone I carried for work reasons. And with a Second phone it was much easier to explain that it was for business so we didnt have to deal with the paperwork.So I have one for work and one for home. I have had my personal one for 18 years because I am a mom and need to know that School could get a hold of me when needed. That is my story. :)

I'll grant you the gentle dig, brother. However, even though the jury's still out about brain damage caused by cell phone microwaves, it still strikes me as odd that those who can least afford to lose cognitive powers are the ones most likely to be chatting about nothing on their cell the oftenest, and longest. :r

I use a headset now. my leg will get cancer instead and by that time I will hopefully be dead after some awesome feat of reckless behavior.

Set up a google voice account. Forward your work calls to your google voice number on your personal cell. You can set up a separate voice mail for the google account so if you miss a call the caller hears your google voice "work" message and not your personal one. And wen you call out the number that shows up is your google voice number instead of your personal number.

Or if you want to save your own minutes forward you personal calls to your work cell and do the same with google voice.
