Not sure that's possible.

However, do you simply want to keep your IL number to use no matter if you're in IL or FL? (not work both at same time) If so, look into the Ooma Telo. $130 on Amazon. (About $45 more for the "Telo Air" model, which lets you connect via WiFi.) It's a VoIP solution so you will need the internet where you are actively using it.

They could port your existing IL number into the Ooma. The Ooma website has a page where you check if your existing number can be ported. Callers would not know WHERE they're calling. Take the unit with you when you travel back and forth.

I've had it for about 3 years. It's everything they say it is. Free calls except for about three or four dollars per month in taxes/fees.
