How do I go about keeping Contacts and Apps Separate on 2 Smartphones on my Account?

Question

I may be over thinking this.  I have two phones, a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 active on the same account each having their own phone number. When backing up and storing contacts and apps,  I would like to keep each separate from the S3 and vice versa.  Do I have to create separate gmail account and google play account?  Also when backing up on the S3 it says I have to login using my Verzion account, but I do not want that info on the S3.  Thanks

For backing up through MyVerizon, you DO need a separate MyVerizon login for each number.  The primary phone will have access to both lines for adding/removing features etc, but NOT to the contacts and ringtones/ringbacks/music purchased for the other line.  TO set this up, log out of MyVerizon, then REGISTER the other number for a username and password. If it says the account is already registered, clear cookies and cache, or use another browser to set up the second account.
You can then run and use backup assistant for each number, keeping contact lists and media purchases separate.
It probably would be better to have a separate Google account for each device as well.  I have my tablet (Samsung Galaxy 7") and phone (Motorola Droid 4) on the same Google Apps so I can load apps on both (or one or the other) from the playstore on my computer.  But in your case, it would make more sense to have separate accounts for the two lines.
