I use 2 iPhones - one for work on one network and the other on a different network for hobbying and personal. Had started a texting session recently with a gal that I had met online. Had only used texting her on the personal phone - several times over a few days. Then to my surprise, a couple of days later, I get an unsolicited text from her on my business phone. It was in iMessage format , but never gave her the business number nor did I text her from the business phone. I was a bit freaked out. WTF ? The conversation was friendly , but I was thinking -How the Hell did that happen ? I never gave her the number. Never texted her from the business phone. I will say both phones use the same Apple ID . Anyways I replied a couple of times from the business phone , then switched in mid-conversation back to the personal phone. She never said a word. I'm still trying to figure how this happened. Of course wondering what phone and contact data was showing at her end. Would appreciate any technical advice.

I knew a dancer who had two different numbers on her cell.
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
That'd be my bet. Apple's effort to tie all your devices together seamlessly, conveniently and invisibly through iCloud, is the absolute opposite of any sort of effective privacy. If the separation means that much to you, I'd suggest you switch one of those phones for one on the 'other' OS.
IMessage can be sent with apple ID, email, or phone number. So there may be a link somewhere between the phones. Most like it is your apple ID. As others have said, you can fix it pretty easily, but I would not be worried that she has your work number and depending on how it is linked, she may not even know that her texts where going to a different physical phone.
How should I know? I guess you would have to ask him or his wife? Does it matter at this point and does it matter in regards to this thread?
I was merely suggesting that the SP probably does not have his business contact info as he mentioned wondering about that and I thought this might help put him at ease.
You seem to be trying to imply some malice or negative/wrongful action on the part of the escort by contacting his work phone to which again, I don't think she did so knowing it was his work phone. That is the point I am making to him.
I am not addressing the issue of unsolicited text and I have no desire to discuss it, nor do I think that was the topic the OP was trying to discuss either. Since I don't do that to clients I have no need to talk about it. If that is something you want to talk about, then maybe jump into 1 of the hundreds of threads out there about that topic.
However it will serve as another great reminder to all men who are married and involved in this hobby, that they must do so at their own risk.
Yup
I used to travel with a dual SIM Andoid. It worked really well, but I didn't like having to use the Android OS. Then it got stolen.
I tried this before, but was disappointed. Maybe the tech has changed. http://www.magic-sim.com/category/id/1/Dual_Sim_for_Apple_iPhone.html
Dual SIM or a working Magic SIM phone would allow you to use the same phone for pay and play. Obviously, you'd need a second plan/SIM. But, it's convenient, and with the right settings enabled, pretty locked down.
In any event, a second iMessage ID should definitely be your first step.
