Question

2 phone numbers, 2 providers, 1 phone

by Apr 11, 2018 11:23AM PDT

My work provided me with a phone, so now I have 2 phones to lug around. Unfortunately their provider is ATT and mine is T-Mobile. Is there anyway to get both numbers on one phone? More importantly would be to switch between services. I doubt that it's possible, but if it is, I was hoping someone on here would know!

Here's the usual fix.

Put the SIMs into the one phone. You'll need a dual SIM phone.

Not all S8 models support more than 1 SIM

All depends on the exact model #. Definitely do your research carefully.
