Hi all,
I know there's a lot of great information out there regarding cell phones, but I was hoping to get some specific ideas for my situation, I'm hoping there's something I haven't yet thought of.
I have a deep hatred of recurring bills, and always try to minimize those.
I have a need to have a cell phone without a camera in it occasionally (say 2+ days a week, maybe more in the future), but need to be available and have access to cellular data using applications during that time so do not want to go without a phone all together..
I do not have access to wifi when i am using the camera free phone.
I use (and prefer to use) iPhones
I have 2 CDMA (Verizon) iphones phones available at the moment. Either can be unlocked and either can have the camera permanently removed in such a way it it acceptable.
I also need to have a phone with a camera for facetime, and ideally my primary phone has the ability to take pictures.
Goal: 1 phone number that rings regardless of which phone happens to be turned on.
My thoughts
1. Sim Cloning appears to be illegal and frowned upon.
2. I can purchase a completely separate plan as cheap as possible with it's own phone number and set up some form of call forwarding from primary line, possibly via google voice. (Something like this appears to be the most viable solution)
3. I can have my camera removed from my primary phone and use the secondary phone only on wifi for facetime. (Not ideal due to wanting to take pictures with primary phone, and facetime when no access to wifi)
4. Other thoughts?
5. Cheapest CDMA wireless plans for auxiliary phone without camera?
