So a discussion just made me think about a time I did something stupid- I thought I was posting on one Twitter account instead of my other Twitter account- thankfully real life and BB life did not meet but it caused me to go directly to Walmart and buy a work phone so my contacts would never risk being commingled.

For me having multiple phones is no biggie however I do see how for some it could be.

SO, if you have two phones and should not by reasonable expectations, if caught with second phone, what would you say to cover your ass?

I've said this before but will stress it again PLEASE ALL have locks on your phone and know sadly even a lock does not always keep somebody out of your phone.  

If you have not had a lock on your phone before and now put one and your wife/hubby etc inquire about lock- say you put lock on in case you lost phone or somebody stole it or found it would not be able to do anything with it. If they want the code- give it to them and then if they go to search your phone and see the code is not as you said, you are aware they are snooping!!!!  

I know I discussed this once years ago but not sure it was on this site or another local board. Hopefully some GOOD suggestions will be made and taken note of!!!!

I believe the best one I heard years ago was the guy found it and was going to ask around at his office the next day!!  

Maybe another good question is-- where do you hide your second phone?

any law against having two phones.  I assume you're talking about married guys.  My friend just tells his wife that one phone is company issued for use at work, and of course, she knows he has a personal phone because its on the same account with hers.  Because its a "company" phone, it can only be used by HIM.  How convenient, right?

AND . . . . the company REQUIRES it to be password protected so no one else can use it.

I never have to worry about this scenario. No worries about having to sneak around, come up with lies on where I've been or why there is a delay in responding to a call or text.

I have no social media accounts to worry about getting things mixed up and not a single photo of me exists on the internet.

Life is good.

I heard a good reason.  Buy a phone, lock it with another name, throw it in the trunk of your car.  SO finds the phone with a name on it that isn't yours.  Just say you found it in the parking lot and are trying to find the owner.

but to really screw up, you need a computer, or, as in this case, a cell phone.

The best place to hide a cell phone is to put it where the ball and chain would never look.  When married to my first wife, that would have been the oven.

Should have seperate users or operating stations. Maybe an app could do it. Enter one pass code and get the generic general operating screen. Another code  and access everything. They don't even need to be listed on the access screen.  
     2 phones is t so bad but I got a work phone and it's a match to my hobby phone, same cover, passcode etc. I just tend to leave my work phone at work.

my desk at work. If I need to use it for P4P, I will put it in my gym bag for safe transport.

I suggest keeping your burner phones in a place your wife and/or kids will never look. My US hobby phone is safely stored in a gun safe buried inside a 50 cal ammo can. I also have a hobby phone I use in Asia that is also safely locked in the gun safe inside a large surplus box of 7.62x25mm (Tokarev) ammo -- for a Chinese Type 51, naturally.  (I have multiple gun safes throughout house, but this one is necessarily off-limits to others.)
