I started Carrying two phones because the IRS wanted me to document every call that was part of the phone I carried for work reasons. And with a Second phone it was much easier to explain that it was for business so we didnt have to deal with the paperwork.So I have one for work and one for home. I have had my personal one for 18 years because I am a mom and need to know that School could get a hold of me when needed. That is my story.
