Hi,

You will need a separate account - one for each phone number.

You can follow the same process as when you got your first SIM card:

Order a SIM card
Activate it, and then ensure it works in the second phone
Port the (old, second) number to your new PM account.

Sorry to say, but with PM, you don't bundle miltiple SIM cards/numbers into one account.

Cheers,

Neil

Yup, PM doesn't have any o' them fancy bells and whistles like "multiple line accounts". 🙂

I can confirm that because I have 3 different lines and had to use 3 different email addresses.....

short: no, you can not combine and PM does not plan on changing that in the near future as it was already suggested numerous times by others..

sorry...

When you port over the second line, make sure you "refer" the first line. This way the first line will receive $1 off every month

If you're on gmail, technically you don't need to use 3 different email addresses. You can just use the "dot" trick or the "plus" trick.

E.G. if your email is jheili99@gmail.com, the following addresses will also work (and arrive in the same inbox):

j.heili99@gmail.com
j.heili.99@gmail.com
jheili99+publicmobile1@gmail.com
jheili99+publicmobile2@gmail.com

Etc etc. I'll often use that trick to determine what sites are selling/leaking my email address to spammers.
