You can also get a Google voice number.
Or in a boot/shoe shoved in a closet. Will she look through an old smelly boot?
With your tools?
Put velcro on the back and stick it up under the car seat?
wow! thanks for your input, some excellent ideas. i will try and go with the compatible sim card idea. I hadn't thought about that, but it seems much easier to hide a sim card than an extra phone and charger. Originally Posted by borderboyNo. Did you not read Marla's post?

Something you will want to be aware of with Google Voice - if both individuals have Google Voice I think your real numbers can be exposed. I noticed this with a provider one time; my normal hobby phone battery died and in an emergency needed to switch to the regular phone which has GV setup on it. I sent her a txt to her # and got back a txt from what I believed to be her non-GV number. Just something to keep in mind if privacy of your non-hobby phone number is important to you (ladies or gents!)

The default was for text to come from your real number, so I am glad I played with it first before going hobby with it! It is easily overlooked that you need to set each thing individually. It is a bit complicated on the initial set-up to make sure all of your outgoing calls AND text from your phone are showing the google number and hiding your real number. But after the set-up it is easy to use.
