A friend of mine wants to have two cellular telephones in two different cars with the same telephone number. Of course, he will use only one at a time. The telco won't set this up for him. How does he do it? David G. Cantor Department of Mathematics University of California at Los Angeles Internet: dgc@math.ucla.edu [Moderator's Note: I think the only way it will work is if he is able to convince the cellular carrier to not do its usual serial number check as part of handling his calls. Either that, or find someone to change the serial number on the new phone, which is illegal if the cellular carrier is not made aware of it. A better course of action would be to have call forwarding on the new phone (whatever number it is) and calls fowarded all the time to the other cell phone's number. PT]

What is wrong with having call forwarding from one phone to the other,
or for that matter have call forwarding from a land line to which ever
cell phone is in service at the time the call is to be received.
