I currently have two separate devices and phone numbers for work and personal stuff. Thinking of porting the personal number to Google Voice and installing Google Voice on work phone so I only have to carry one device and don't have to pay for personal number, while having distinct personal and work numbers. Don't want to give up my personal number completely hence porting. Anyone done that? Pros and cons? Any other suggestions?

Just have one phone and one number, it’s much easier. And if you’re going to use just one phone, the standard complaints of “I don’t want them to see my apps/data, I want to be able to turn off my phone, etc.” aren’t applicable.

Don't want to have a common number. Current project is awesome and nobody bothers me after hours. But it may not be that way for long.

I am doing dual sim on my iPhone. 2 phone numbers, 1 phone. They’re on different networks too.

How can you port a specific # to google voice? 😳

I actually did exactly this. It works great and glad I did it. Actually wish I had just used my personal number for work but this also works. Google voice did stop forwarding texts though so you’ll see them in the app and you will get a notification.

I don’t care about personal data. No firm would be dumb enough to look at things they say they don’t look at like photos or texts. If they ever say anything about that or got caught I’d be retiring early.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
