You can get a second phone programmed to work on the same number as
the first. The cell providers don't like for you to do this, but it is
not illegal. You just have to buy the second phone and get it
programmed with the same electronic serial number as the first. Check
the classified ads for third party sellers of cell phones. They are
usually selling second hand phones, and will program up a second phone
on the same number for you.

You don't have to pay any additional to the provider.
