I know this isn't really an android question, but a lot of you seem to be
pretty up on cell phones: Is it possible to have the same number assigned
to two phones. I thought I had lost my phone, so bought a new one. Then I
found the old one. So now I have two functioning Android phones, only one
of which has a phone number. It would be handy to have the same number
assigned to both phones, mainly for receiing calls. I could live with ony
being able to call out on one of them.
TIA

You can easily do it with Google Voice (one would have to be on the net).

Technically yes, provided that you never have more than one of them
turned on at the same time.

In practice you're unlikely to find a provider who
a) thinks it's possible
b) will allow it

If you port your number to (or get a new number from) a VoIP provider
then you can have that number "live" on multiple phones at the same
time, home phones, mobile phones, even an app on a laptop ...

Get a second number for the second phone. The set the first number to do
Conditional Call Forwarding (on no answer / unreachable / busy) to the
second number. If you don't answer the call on the first phone then the
call will be forwarded to the second phone to be answered.

It is possible, but you have to ask your network provider to clone the
SIM for this purpose. It is up to them to say yes or no. Some do say
yes, but a charge may apply.

So it is just a business decision for them, not a technical problem

Otherwise, there are tricks that other people are mentioning.

Check with your telco and cellular provider to see if they offer a
simultaneous ring feature. When calls come in, the carrier rings all
phones listed under the simultaneous ring feature.

This is how Google Voice works as a PBX. Calls come into a GV number,
and its simultaneous ring feature calls all the phones on its list. GV
is free, but available on in the USA. I use GV (the only phone number I
publish) call all my other phones: all cell phones, home phones, and
work phones.

I think Ooma also has simultaneous ring. Sometimes simultaneous ring is
called "call forwarding", but instead of calling just 1 other phone
number you can specify several destinations.

no, although some carriers offer a way to link two phones on the same
account so that calling one number rings both (internally, they have
separate phone numbers).

one example of this is for smartwatches, where calls to the phone can
optionally be answered on the watch, without the caller having to call
a different number.
