Can you have two different phones on your cell phone account ?

I already have an Android phone on my account. I was considering, eventually, getting a Windows phone. Keeping both of them active, if I can. Do they let you do that, or do you usually have to choose only one ? Thanks.

1. You want 2 phones to be simultaneously active and have the same phone number? n/t

2. yea, if they will allow that

I know I could get another phone number, but I don't need another one.

ETA: I looked on the web site for the answer. No dice. If no one here knows, I'll eventually just call them. I figured someone would know off the top of their head.

3. Basically every phone must have an individual phone number however,

calls directed to a single number can be redirected and ring multiple phones simultaneously.

Check your current provider to see if they offer that capability or if you need to use a third party's services.

5. If they don't do that

you can set up one of the phone lines with a google voice number which would let you keep that number and then use the number on both phones. Although I think you would have to pay for two phone lines.
