I have a Tampa phone number on my cell phone. What's the cheapest way to get an Atlanta phone number ALSO, so that I can receive calls at either number?

VoIP with Call Forwarding

[magnoliafly.livejournal.com]

Some sort of service like what Vonage has with call-forwarding included (and Simul-Ring).

Unless you don't have internet at your house.

If you want it on the cell phone specifically, you'll probably have to ask your cell phone provider. I keep meaning to do the same thing with my Miami number, but haven't gotten around to it. So if you get it done first, let me know how it goes! ;)

With Cingular (which no longer exists), it was Impossible, because Seattle and Chicago were separate markets, with separate billing, so the two numbers couldn't be for the same phone, or even on the same family plan. Meh.

Cingular sucks so hard that even though they don't technically exist, they still suck.

ah yes, add cellular phone service vendors to the list of topics not to bring up unless you want heated argument ... I have had three cell phones on cingular with zero problems, whereas T-Mobile was awful...

LOL. Good point.

Just curious (this is not a "Why, you idiot?" comment, I'm just genuinely curious) why you need/want an Atlanta number, in a world where almost everybody has cheap or free long distance (at least via their cell phones)?

Because I worry that some HR departments may see an 813 area code on my resume and say "Oh, we'd have to fly this one in, let's see if we have any locals first".

If that's your only reason, I'd think the local address and local home phone number should override that reaction...
