Ridiculous Report

I carry three cell phones. THREE cell phones. That’s ridiculous.

I dont just do it to be fancy. They all have a reason and purpose.

1. Personal phone: I have an LG Chocolate in maroon. My brother bought it for me for Christmas last year (he spoils me, this year he got me a Roomba!). I have it for friends and family. I use it as my main contact because home phones piss me off. Self explanatory.

2. Business phone: When I started my own business as an independent contractor Satellite Agent for the home health company I worked for in Atlanta, I got a Blackberry. I got it so that clients and business contacts wouldnt bother me on my personal number.  Also, I have a Drug book installed on it so that if I am at a client’s house, I can quickly look up information if needed on it, or the internet as well. Plus, it was an excuse to get a Blackberry.

3. I started my new job at Healthfield Gentiva. They informed me that I would have a work cell phone. I told them I didnt really need one, but they said that it was company policy or whatever. I told them I have plenty of minutes I dont use on my own phones and I didnt need another one, but they said they wanted me to have it “just in case” and to carry it at all times. I wish I could combine my two work phones somehow, but I cant. I tried.
So I have to carry three cell phones. They take up my whole purse. And its ridiculous for one person to carry so many phones.

    Don’t know if you’re on GSM or even how these things work, exactly, but there are SIM card devices that let you put two SIMs in the space of one. but i think they might require a phone reboot to switch between them.

    AT&T and T-Mobile are the two major U.S. wireless providers that use GSM (sim cards). As I recall, you are on Verizon on at least one of your lines. This probably would work all that well.

    However, is call forwarding and option? Pretty low-tech, but might work.
