To have two phones connected to one line. Sharing the same minutes, data usage and txt msgs?

Its illegal...but yes
It is called cloning a device. They used to do it for pagers but that is a major difference. Doubt you will find anyone to do it for a cell phone but theoretically it could be done.

That would cost money... I joke, but really this is the way to go. I have 5 lines on my family plan. We still only use 200-300 if the 1500 landline minutes.

Aren't there also a lot of technical problems with a clone?
EX: A call or text comes in to your number and only one of the phones gets it.

It is how Vonage and Majic jack work as well as a good part of the Sprint Airave. They just use your internet connection.

Ok, so on the most current Miui build Wifi works and voice calling isn't quite there yet. How would I go about setting something like this up? Do I need to get a specific app?

More accurately, it is called Voice Over Internet Protocol. Goole voice is a specific service that uses the protocol, similar to the issue of Kleenex being a specific brand of tissue paper.
I like to clear up confusion before it gets too far - we Americans have redefined too many words out of ignorance and fallacious assumptions as it is ;-)
@John - I haven't looked at VoiP solutions for Android in several months, but GrooveIP was a great app to use Google Voice for this purpose. At the time that I discovered it myself, the official Google Voice app didn't support voice calls on Android, so the only free way I had found involved an intermediary internet number (called a DID number, using a SIP account... it gets convoluted and confusing too damn fast, and wasn't very stable... plus, all of the free SIP providers I could find seemed to shut down around the end of June, for some reason).
What are you trying to accomplish? The only use that readily comes to my mind is to avoid using limited anytime minutes by using unlimited data instead - I rooted a friend's phone for this purpose, because his girlfriend always tore through all of their minutes in the first week of the month, then *****ed at him when she was unable to call him (obviously, the *****ing came later that evening, lol) I should explain that they're on a prepaid provider that doesn't do any free mobile to mobile minutes, etc. Just re read you4r last post more closely, answering my own question
And I mistyped one part - google voice didn't support outbound calls, lol - one word makes all the difference. Actually, I think the issue was that outbound calls used minutes you have to purchase... it wasn't the ideal situation for my friend's budget...
Anyway, my friend also had an Evo that he was unable to flash to Virgin, so I initially tested on that using just a wifi connection. It works great, and actually save my ass one night when a bad flash rendered my Epic unusable, and I couldn't get to my laptop for another 10 hours. I found a McDonald's or Starbucks with the free hotspot service whenever I needed to make or receive a call
EDIT: I am doubting the accuracy of my statements... but I am certain that GrooveIP does not need an active mobile network and does not eat up minutes, because Virgin doesn't do free incoming calls (at least not on their lowest Android plan). So I may have some details mixed up, but GrooveIP will work.
I should mention that GrooveIP was a $4 app when I set my friend up, no trial version to be found either

I guess I was trying to find a way to make calls using the most current Miui build. It only works on Wifi and when I make or receive a call you can't hear anything so I was hoping I could ring a roundabout way while they are working on it. Thanks for the thorough response.

Has anyone had any success using Groove IP in conjunction with Google Voice to substitute the lack of wifi calling availability with CM9 or any other AOSP ROMs and if so, how was the quality of the calls?
Looking for ideas, any suggestions are appreciated.
Not using GrooveIP but I used the built-in SIP to connect to my Callcentric VOIP account and it works perfectly.
I did that when I had my nexus s.. it will work but grooveip always has a call delay.. it gets quite annoying.

Hmm It's primarily because when I go to the coast to visit my Mom, her hurricane proof house with nearly bullet-proof windows and plaster/block walls seem to give me little or no signal, in the past I've just used the wifi-calling on T-Mobile based ROMs. I'm loving CM9 and gave GrooveIP a try today with Gvoice and it seemed to work great. It's only for a few hours a day each week but it always seems to be right when I have a critically important call come through and it drops, over and over without the wifi calling
Thanks for the suggestions I'll stick with this and see how reliable it is..

same thing happens to me, but it also happens with voicemail sometimes. Something somewhere isn't pushing it to the phone. Back on my Epic 4G I used to have issues with email not loading as well as texts and voicemail. Only texts and vm on the S3 though, but doesn't happen very often fortunately. That and wifi just stops working, but that's another story.

A friend of mine receives them fine as well. I turned the Airave off and within 5 minutes my wife gets all the text I sent her.

Sprint may be working in your towers, thus causing text and voice delays. If that's true then just wait it out. It's worth it.

Wow that's crazy. Lol.. data?!? I can see the need for making calls due to no service. But for data u can just use your wifi. I see it completely useless and impractical. It not only requires u to buy extra equipment, but it requires an energy source.

happy to see someone using dell streak now...
Dell streak 5 was an amazing device.... Very poorly marketed... Dell would have been in a different part of the economics had they done a good job...
Yes,that's what me and my brother have always thought,Dell had it right before anyone else,now everyone is making the same size,they didn't advertise it,so no one knew about it. Its still a great phone,I've had mine for 2 1/2 yrs.,I wish Dell would have made the streak 2,opus 1?. I haven't upgraded in 8 months because there hasn't been anything I've wanted alot more yet.I'm still on Froyo and would like to move up to Jelly Bean though: ),I will get the note 8,and still looking at phones,note 3,z ultra,...ect. . . I like the Lenovo k900,but don't know if that would work with at&t.

Dialer App?
I have a ATT Galaxy Note 8 with a wireless data plan. It clearly has a micro-SIM and a LTE modem.
Really, all I think it needs is the actual Dialer app. Which leads me to the question: how would I install it?
I know that in some european markets the Note 8 has phone capabilities... would it be simpler to flash a euro image onto it?

If you are getting the Note 8 with the intention of using it as your primary phone, I'll chime in and say I haven't been happy with the quality of VoIP on AT&T's HSPA network. Your results may be better with LTE, but I think there is something about AT&T's network that makes it less suitable for VoIP than Verizon. I don't know for sure, I'm speculating based on what I've experienced.

What a big let down, you can imagine I just got it today (Note 8.0 LTE) the whole time I thought this is one big phone/tablet that will let me use it as a phone because of the SIM card slot and 4g and LTE abilities!! Only to find out that only international version can make calls!! WTF!! Hope to try your ways otherwise I am hoping someone will come up with a rom that enable this feature for good!
It'll work as a phone great, I just called my Dad today and had him call me back on talkatone, and it sounds great, also groove ip too, just get the app, then go on your computer to google voice and get a google voice number, it let's you scan through a bunch, just pick one and follow the steps, it sounds better than using my cell phone on speaker!

Why not just return it and buy the N5100? VoIP calling works well over a strong signal, but is LTE really worth it when a phone version is available?

Hey guys, I have a T-Mobile galaxy s3 and I want to add a second phone number to my phone for business instead of getting a second phone. Right now I am using groove IP which works most of the time, but I would like something more reliable. I don't mind paying for another service to get this working if that's what needs to be done, but I do want to be able to know if it is a business call opposed to personal.
1) Is this possible?
2) If so, will I be able to distinguish business calls frompersonal calls before I answer?
