Can two iPhones have the same number?

Can I have one phone number work simultaneously for two phones? I'm always forgetting to take my phone with me, and would like to keep one permanently in my purse. The idea is to keep my old iPhone4s and buy an iPhone6, but assign both of them the same phone number. Can it be done?
Thanks!

As @Csound1 mentions Google Voice, I will mention that my primary phone number is my Google Voice number. It is set to forward all of my calls to my cell, my home and my office simultaneously. When I answer on any of them it drops the remaining connections. It can also send and receive texts (and forward them to my phones), and it transcribes voicemail to text and emails the transcript to me. There's an iPhone app for it. When you make outgoing calls with it your GV number is what appears in Caller ID. It can also record calls and make conference calls. There is no monthly charge for using it, and it is free for incoming calls and outgoing calls to the US and Canada. International calls are phenomenally cheap, typically 2¢ per minute. When you sign up you get to choose your number, including choosing your area code.

Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

I guess so. But the email content will mirror on both phones.
If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror. You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.
Why?
If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.

Can two iPhones share the same apple id?

I have a white iPhone 4 and i just bought a new black iPhone 4. Can I activiate the new black iPhone 4 and use the same apple id on both of them? Will all the music be shared? Can I have access to the account on both phones?

No. The only information that may be transferred between the two is music, apps, or books if automatic downloads are turned on within Settings>iTunes and App Stores. However if you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on both devices they will share whatever information you share with iCloud. For instance if you have different contacts on both phones and use the same iCloud account with both of them they will then show a combination of the two contact libraries on both phones. So if you add a contact to one iPhone it will add the same contact to the other. The same goes with deleting contacts as well. Hope this helps.

IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. can two macs have the same library?

I am running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have an iMac and a MacAir. How do I have one photo library, say on the iMac, that is then replicated onto the MacAir?

There are two ways to "sync" the two libraries.
#1 - with the two Macs connected download and use SyncPhotos
Here's how it works:
it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
it then does the same for B.
metadata is not copied.
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library. This method does not require you to make the decision of which photos to sync.
NOTE: this method does not sync keywords, titles, ranking or descriptions.
#2 - download and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events in Library A that are not in LIbrary B to Library B. Then select those Events in Library B that are not in A and copy to A.
This method requires you to make the determination which photos (Events) to copy between libraries. It does copy all metadata, keywords, titles, etc. as well as Faces and Places.

Can two iPhones share the same phone number?

I have an iPhone 4s and a 6, and would like to switch between them, based on the activity I'm doing.

No, however, you could use call forwarding to redirect the calls if your carrier offers that feature. Not that this will NOT forward SMS/MMS messages.

HT201209 Can two iphones use the same itune gift card?

My husband and I are new to iphones, and would like to purchase one itunes gift card and both use it on our iphones. I have an apple id set up, he does not yet have one. Can we share an itunes account if we have different apple id's?

Related question... I have read mixed reviews on whether or not families with multiple apple products should have a single or many apple ids. This site is interesting... http://gigaom.com/apple/how-many-apple-ids-should-your-family-have/comment-page- 2/
Is there a general consensus on this issue? Since my husband has not yet set up an apple id, this is the time we need to decide.
Thanks so much!

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

Can I have 2 iPhones with the same number??
I have a fairly new 5S iPhone. I would like to add a "iPhone 6" when available. Can I get it WITH THE SAME PHONE # ?

Dual NAM is a different animal - that means having tow phone numbers on the same phone. That's not allowed any longer, true.
The OP is asking about having the same number on two devices - and Elector gave a solution. Just move the SIM from phone to phone, depending on which one you want to use at any given time. You cannot use the same number on two devices simultaneously.

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it. Really need some help. Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store? Even her apps wont appear

If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

Two iphones on the same itunes account can have access to each other's messages?

can 2 iphones on the same itunes account to read each other's messages somehow?

Yes, if both users are using the same apple id for imessage, you will see each other's message.
So use different apple id.

Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords? Yes, there is more to the story.

I have an iMac, and iPhone. I've had my Apple ID for a few years.
My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password. I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID. When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords? (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
Thanks.

Hi
You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.
