I am just moving to a new company which evidently will not reimburse cell phone expenses but WILL supply me with a company cell that is fully paid by them. My problem is that I currently have two cell phones, one personal, one "work" from my previous company. The "work" number is an apple iphone with the unlimited voice plan, my personal cell is a blackberry curve. I don't really want to give up the number on the apple iphone because most, if not all, of my professional colleagues have that number and it would be a pain to change. I don' want to give up my personal BB because my wife and I both have one on a family plan (t-mobile) and since I'm on the road all the time she loves to be able to "pin" messages to me throughout the day, PLUS I finally dumped my land line and changed the phone number with all my credit card companies, etc, to my personal cell.

My options are:
1. Take the company cell and carry 3 cell phones (yuck)
2. Use the "work" number for my new company, but pay the bill myself.

I am leaning strongly towards number 2, but my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Comments?
