How about 2 phones for one number?

Last week, Rogers announced its new service allowing 2 numbers on one phone.

On my vacation, I noticed a number of taxi drivers with oversized mobile phones mounted on their dashboards that ring with the same number as their pocket phones.

Think about it - when you are driving, wouldn't it be easier to have a large screen and big buttons wired into a handsfree, but keep the same familiar number when you walk around?

Which service providers: are listening to the calls for safe driving alternatives?

Comments:
Um, where have you been? Back in the 80s and early 90's this was a common thing. A bag or hard-wired phone in the car and a handheld (or luggable depending on how you'd like to classify some of those phones).

While there are technologies to allow multiple devices per number, getting the phone companies to do it is another thing. Most companies attempt to tie your service to your IMEI number of the phone, however GSM users can get away with most anything with the proper equipment.
