 Hey, this is Ross with The Verge, and what you're looking at now, essentially what we have is we have the same phone number on two different iPhones. Now what's interesting about this is this phone actually has the SIM card in it, and this one doesn't even have the SIM slot at all. But what we had done is we had taken the SIM from this phone, slotted it out, put it in this phone, and iMessage, as it turns out, actually verified both numbers as the same. So once you take the SIM card out, the phone number actually stays with it until you put in another SIM card or you turn off iMessage. What's interesting about this, as we have heard on the internet a few times, let's go ahead and go to the new message section. If I send from a separate iPhone, all three have iMessage activated, any text message, I'm going to send that here, it actually shows up on both phones. So this is actually the iMessage book you've been hearing about. So now what's going on is because both Apple IDs, let's go back here, because both Apple IDs have the same phone number attached because this one had the SIM card in it and we never put another SIM card, every time you text that number through the iMessage service, you're going to get it. Now what's even more fun is that regardless of which phone I entered, you're actually going to see the entire conversation on actually all three devices. It's Hello One and Helio Two, well whatever. So you can actually have a lot of fun with this. In fact, we're going to... All right, so I send this, this one gets it, send this one, send ahhhh, ahhhh, all three get it. All right, so here's one way you can actually get rid of it. Essentially just turning iMessage off and on with the iPhone that doesn't have a SIM card in it. So as soon as I do that, sending a message to that number will only go to the phone that has a SIM card. Now, once we've got the settings, let's go back. Right now it's trying to verify the number, but since the SIM card is no longer in there, it's not going to. This is going to be a great party trick if you're a Snoopy individual, if you're very into learning all the inner secrets, both sending and receiving of your friends and loved ones. Not something I recommend, not something I suggest, but it could be fun.
 Hey, this is Ross with The Verge, and what you're looking at now, essentially what we

 Now what's interesting about this is this phone actually has the SIM card in it, and
 this one doesn't even have the SIM slot at all.
