You need to separate the hobby from your civie life.  

Separate secure email too.   Do not access adult sites from company equipment or WiFi unless you own the company.   Guys have been fired from 6 figure jobs for this.

I want to get a separate phone for hobbying.  Won't be used much but I do want to be able to text (seems like many providers like texting).  I was wondering what plans others have.  Is getting a pre-paid phone better? What is a good monthly rate?  Are there any other factors to consider when choosing a phone and plan?  I'm not married, and currently have a family plan with siblings that charges for texting.  A sibling gets the bill so I don't want anything to show up on the bill to arise suspicion.

I bought a phone from Virgin Mobile for $19.95, which can be bought without revealing your identity.  Then you purchase minutes and top them up when you need more.  If you want total anonymity, do not use a credit card to do this.  For my phone I can stop in at Radio Shack and pay cash.

Try google voice.  It has lots of great features.

purchase at Wal Mart or Target, paid with cash.

TracFone, buy the phone and time with cash and there will be no record to bite your butt.  Testing cost 1/2 a min. with mine.
