It would be less expensive to use a portable cellular telephone set, and carry it between the two vehicles. Most portables have fixed-mounting arrangements to make them mobile. But an extra one, and an extra antenna, so the portable may be fixed-mounted in either vehicle without time-consuming tool-intensive mechanical work. It carries its telephone number with it.

There's no reason for more than one ESN in a single device; all multi-NAM (Number Assignment Module) phones I've seen use the same ESN for all NAMs. /john
