Is it possible to have a single cell phone that has two different numbers?

My cell phone number is tied to my business and all you have to do is google that number and find out all about me.

I'd love to have a second number for personal use(dating, friends, etc) but not have to carry around 2 phones.

Any way to accomplish this?

Yeah Google voice is free for one extra number. If your phone has two SIM slots you could also go that route, but there's typically a cost.

Get an app like TextNow for dating. You can pretty much do anything you can on a normal phone with it. It's also free.

My phone is only a fairly basic Android (Samsung A15), and even that has the ability to insert two sim cards, allowing for two seperate numbers on the same phone.

As M&M says, you'd need two plans, but at least you only need to carry around (and buy) one phone.

I'd think that the majority of modern phones will have the same ability.

Most newer iPhones support a physical microsim and an eSIM allowing two numbers.

Yea, you need iPhone 14 or later. Can have up to a dozen eSIM's. You should search aliexpress or eBay for SIM or eSIM, basically can get a "left" unregistered to your name SIM card these days and use -- though buyer be ware, for permanent things, better not use unregistered SIM because it can be terminated at anytime.
