Another option could be to buy a cellphone with 2 Sim card capabilities.
See these GOOGLE websites for more info:

With 2 SIM cards, you would definitively get 2 phone numbers.

I might add that with Speakout, all incoming calls are 25 cents a minute, no matter where you are in Canada. And if you make a call in the area you are in, that is a local call. So you might need only one SIM card.

Where are the 2 areas you are going to be?

Thanks for the quick input!

Just this morning I was thinking would not 2 Sims mean 2 different phone numbers ? Especially with 2 diff. Area codes. Although just looking at the SO register page. It seems you input area where most calls would be made from to define local vs long distance.
Soooo what would happen!?

LOL acquiring 2 phones would likely be the simple fix.

Thanks for your time:)

Most certainly. The account is tied to the SIM card, not the phone. The IMEI on the phone really does not matter other than for blacklisting purposes, (If phone is reported stolen) or to identify the model phone. Your carrier might want to know the phone model for configuration and support purposes, but the SIM card does not care what you have for a phone,

From a practical standpoint, it is just easier to get 2 phones because they can be cheap and you got twice as many batteries. But if you have to share the phone between 2 SIM cards, that is also not a problem.

Considering speakout prog.

Thinking of a work around possible L.D. charges.

Is it doable to have one IMEI with 2 registered SIMS for it, reflecting two diff. prov. (area codes) ?

thanks for your time and any info !
