Would like to upgrade from my 4S to a 6s soon for the larger screen to use apps with senior eyes :)I'm afraid I won't like carrying the bigger phone in a pocket.Can I use the same phone # with both the 4S and the 6 ?Then I could carry the 4S and still answer the phone when using the 6.AT&T is my carrier .Thanks,Mike

No two phones cannot have the same phone number.From personal experience I find Iphones to be a real pain. Their antenna is so weak that in fringe areas they do not get reception. But to each his own

No that's called cloningPhone companies don't allow itHowever, . If you can get your iPhone unlockedYou can use the same sim card, switching it back and forth between devices

Another thought has come to me :Maybe a new # for the iPhone 6 that I can forward calls to from the 4S with my old #.AT&T would still charge for the extra line though.Guess its true you can't beat the phone company :(

Go to any phone store and try sizing up a Galaxy Note 3. It's very close in size to the new iPhone 6-plus. If the size works for you, jump at the iPhone when released. I am with you on the "senior eyes" issue, so I'm definitely making the switch........popeyemth wrote:Would like to upgrade from my 4S to a 6s soon for the larger screen to use apps with senior eyes :)I'm afraid I won't like carrying the bigger phone in a pocket.Can I use the same phone # with both the 4S and the 6 ?Then I could carry the 4S and still answer the phone when using the 6.AT&T is my carrier .Thanks,Mike

what are you trying to accompolish. two phones? just keep your old phone and then get an iPad mini for your app usage. if you have the mobile share plan, you can tether it off of your phone with no extra charge.

You could port your current AT&T phone number to Google Voice. Then get new phone numbers assigned to your 4s and 6.

When someone calls your current phone number using Google Voice, it will ring both iPhones. You can even transfer a call from one iPhone to the other.
