Two phones , one sim/ number
tea and coffee
Is it possible to run two phones using rhe same number? For example, one person is a beautician, wants to talk to customers where possible but obviously often in treatments. Can a 2nd person also have a phone where they can answer calls (yes I know could divert to another number) but really so much done through WhatsApp and text so would need dual access to that too , moreover than phone call access

It is called 'Call Hunting' it is not generally available with mobiles.
No problem with landlines:

There's no simple way to do it and get all the options needed....only a duplicate SIM would work and none of the networks offer that facility.
If both people are in same building then a SIM router (eg Huawei B311) with the phone port connected to a DECT cordless base station would work for calls....don't know about SMS...might need a PC to use the SMS function in the router.
WhatsApp is due to release multi device option soon but that needs a smartphone in addition to the DECT phone.
List of devices needed....
- SIM router
- DECT base station + handsets
- smartphones for WhatsApp (whenever multi device is available)
One of the drawbacks of a SIM router is lack of portability.
