I have multiple telephone numbers. Each number serves a purpose. With that being said, I might choose to have more numbers in the future. If this was to happen, it will likely be an international number, such as getting a telephone number for the UK. This will be done if I suspect that it will be used. As of now, I have 3 telephone numbers. This is the most basic for my needs. The numbers are as follows:
The first number is a cellular number. This number supports iMessage, RCS, and SMS/MMS. The second number is my home phone line. As you can see, the 4th – 10th digit of my cellular and home number is the same. This is designed to make it easier for you to remember, and it helps me too. The last number is a voicemail only number. You will never ring a phone. I have this number mostly for domain registry information, but others can call it as well.
I have 2 voicemail services. The first is my cellular line’s voicemail. The second is for my home phone and my voicemail line. They are both serviced by the same voicemail service. While it would be nice to have 1 voicemail service for all of my lines, there is no SIP provider that also provides cellular services. With that being said, I have 2 service providers.
When I make a phone call, most of the time, I use my cellular phone. I can use my home phone, but most people have my cellular phone, and have no desire adding my home phone number to my contact entry. If that is the case, they won’t know it is me if I was to call them from the house phone line. This is fine as if I believe I might be on the phone for an extended period of time, I will put on my earphones so I don’t have to keep the phone to my ear. This also allows for both of my hands to be free to do something else. You can learn more about each line by checking with the pages in this section.
