Your initial question does not give enough information. What are the carriers? What plans? With T-Mobile postpaid you can do a conditional forward to another phone and the minutes come out of a separate forwarding bucket. AFAIK, this only works for T-Mobile.

You could use Google Voice to get something similar to this.

No, you can port the current number of the unwanted phone to Google Voice. People would call that number and it would instead ring the phone you like. To do that, you'd simply add the phone you like as a forwarding phone on Google Voice.

If you still wanted the other phone for certain things, you could do that. It would get a new real number, but that wouldn't matter because you could easily add it as another forwarding phone on Google Voice if you wanted.

Watch these two videos: "What is Google Voice?" and "Number Porting"

Porting to Google Voice costs $20 (once) and can take up to 24 hours for voice calls and up to three days after that for texts.

Oh, you're in luck. Sprint happens to be the only carrier with special Google Voice integration. You actually won't need to port. There's no $20 charge, it's easier to do, and I see no mention of any porting delays. Instructions: http://www.google.com/googlevoice/sprint/

You can disable it on your Sprint phone pretty easily as well, without loosing your number on Sprint. Instructions: http://support.google.com/voice/bin/...answer=1207078
