I don't think so since calls are routed to the nearest cellular transmitter and there is a "log on" sequence to validate your phone when you first turn it on.

There is a small removable chip inside the phone which carries a "serial number" which identifies you to your service. This chip can be moved to another phone if you want.

You could take the sim card out of the phone and move it into an unlocked phone or a phone from the same carrier.


Hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure that this is NOT possible.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but I use the call forwarding feature to forward my work phone to my personal phone so that I don't have to carry both. Somehow, after typing that, I'm not sure that has anything to do with your question.

Click to expand...

Can they both be active at the same time or is it "one or the other"?

N'Telos--No (I asked about a year ago).

Why is the Rx time one hour later than the actual time?
