Well, my friend. I'm a poor guy and can't afford more than one SIM card. That's why I've been stuck to my first old cell phone number. I don't support owing a number of SIM cards. Have a nice day.

Hey yugasini,
If your family are having 7 cellphone numbers, they're paying 7 phone companies. Right? Maybe the call charge in India is very low but not in Bangladesh. The operator companies here are earning a very handsome profit at high call charges.
have a great day.

I only have two cellphone numbers. One is for Globe Network and other number is for Sun Cellular Network. Me and my friend have the same network of both network and can be reach with any of that network. I do not wish to have more than two numbers because that is very difficult since I only have two phones now. However, if someone will give me a cellphone I will use that for other network which is Smart. Every friend I have can reach me to any network I have.

Wow you have a lot of sim cards, don't your friends get confused on what number to call or text? . I used to have two phones, but then, it didn't go well for me, cause I don't like bringing two phones everywhere I go, and my parents are complaining cause they are not sure what number are they supposed to text or call, and what they do is that they text both numbers so I always gets two messages.. Now I got only one line, which makes life more easier, and I got the cheapest line, and I save a lot of money every month with their unlimited promos.

Ahhh. So texting is not really the fad there? hehehe. Here in our country, texting is what everybody does. I mean, you see people texting while walking, while crossing the street, while waiting for someone, and even while shopping. I'm not really sure what is it with texting and filipino. hehehe.

I have two cell numbers. The one which is known to office guys and outside, other one is known to my family and close friends. The reason behind having a private phone is that sometimes I want to be disconnected from outer world without disconnecting my family and friends. Other reason that I have two phone is that one is very economic for STD calling which does lower my spending :)

I used to have two numbers but then I didn't use the other one and so it expired and can't be activated anymore. So now, I only have one number. I like it since I don't have to look at different cellphones from time to time to look if there are any messages or any missed calls.

I have two mobile phones. One carries the smart sim for smart network and the other carries the globe sim for globe network. These two actually are the leading mobile phone networks in our country. I use the smart network for most of my business deals and transactions since my card is link to my bank accounts, debit cards etc. The other one I use for most of my personal calls and messages.

I have 3 cell phone numbers and it really helps also that i'm using a phone with dual sim. I use one for outgoing calls while the rest are basically for texting and incoming calls. The reason why i have 3 sim cards is because when i travel, some places dont have a signal of the provider i'm currently using so i availed of the other two so i can make phone calls wherever i go.
