2nd lines on iPhone as Hobby phone

I don't have a s.o. at the present time and I did have my "then new Iphone" ruin a relationship for me. I met a 30ish lady at restaurant, we swapped phone numbers. told her I was going to the casino later that afternoon.
A couple of hours later she shows up at the casino, calls me and we play slots for awhile. Well I start talking about needing a sugarbabe and honestly was talking out my rear but was attracted to her...
Next day I'm showing my two day Iphone to my "former girlfriend" and the great fantasy football App...and up pops a "hey Daddy, I'm in my bath-tub and playing with my rubber ducky"...etc...
The S.O.and I were holding my phone together...like Custer to the Indians, even though Sugarbabe never even happened...I never got the toothpaste back in the tube!
So except for situations like that how important is a hobby phone?

Well, how big on the screen was this message? on my android, its small and easily shifted away...

Also, if you had her as a "sugarbabe" some rules should have been established....

I am currently using google voice for international calls to Canada, for free for now, at least I think until Dec. 31, 2010 than google says the rates will be very good....so lets hope so, as for it as my provider line...works wonderful, so far I am impressed...
sweetheartjenny61@gmail.com and sweetheartjenny@escorts.com...

the problem I ran into with my line2 application is when I received and replied to a text on my second line, my primary got sent to the person texting me and from then on knew she had my number that traced back to my home address etc, the best policy is to have a phone that has no linkage back to your personal information, unless you accept the risk of an unwanted guest at the home or office.

one night i was texting a provider on the second line and the so was texting me on the other number at the same time, it is way to easy to get those responses mixed up when they are coming in at the same time.

I think the Gtalk is for talking.. not texting... so texting you wuld be exposing your real #.

You are wrong. I use it for talking and texting! Works fine for me and doesn't expose my real number it is all in the google voice settings. You should read the how to guide again.

Google Talk, and Google Voice are two different apps. Naomi is perfectly correct, for Google Voice. Google Talk is akin to Yahoo or AOL's instant messenger. The naming sucks and causes much confusion amongst users.

The important thing to remember is to not forward the GV texts to you phone so as not to accidently reply from your primary number. Manage the hobby texts via the GV application, which hosts its own texting and voice calling functions.

I have a hobby email that I add and remove from my BlackBerry. All notifications of calls, transcribed voicemails, and SMS texts are sent there. From there, I can reply to SMS via my hobby email, and it is routed back to the sender as a SMS. When I want safe distance from the hobby, I drop the email account off my phone. I can still check it periodicly via my phone's web browser.

Another advantage to GV is voice calling history. You use the GV app to initiate the call. It uses your primary line to call a "bounce" or exchange number, not the number you dialed. When it connects, the exchange routes you to the number you dialed, passing on your Google Caller ID. Your physical phone's call history shows a long distance non-800 number. If found by an S.O., and called, it won't connect to anything damaging.

Damn Naomi, I wish you were closer to Texas!
