HI @MKC10

sorry, no. the number is tied with the sim card or eSIM. One number can only stick to one sim card or one eSIM

I understand but I want 1 number to work on 2 cellphones simultaneously.

@MKC10 no sorry , all you can do is call forward one from number to another phone number , can only have one working sim with specific number at any given time

HI @MKC10

you simply cannot. No carrier offer plans like this. Maybe for business accounts, but not for regular accounts like us

What are you trying to do ?

@MKC10

No can do unless you want to switch the SIM back and forth between the two devices.

Other option is to download the TextNow app on both phones and pick a secondary number then login on the same account on both phones…bam…same number on both phones.

You don’t need to leave the primary phone at home.

You can bring both to try out as long as you have WiFi or use the data if no WiFi. If the other phone doesn’t have any plan, you can hotspot the primary phone.
