Having an affair is way too much work...

Pretty sure backwardsville, i mean Laramie has both?

You could also just get a mobile phone that allows for two SIM cards. A lot of "business" phones have that so you can have one SIM card for business and one for private connections.

I want a SIM card, and a 20-something to go along with it.

Don't you still work at a University? The 20-something part shouldn't be too hard.

An article about all the things that John Edwards did to keep his affair a secret, and still failed. I guess I would have no chance--getting a separate phone, the conference calls, and the covert hotel room rentals aren't things I would have thought of. Then again, even when I was 16 I wouldn't have the sex tape and the "don't worry about a condom because I won't get pregnant" mistakes.

I don't see why anyone would allow themselves being taped having sex unless you:  A) don't care who knows that you're having sex with whoever else is on the tape, and B) don't mind the possibility that it might end up posted on the web for everyone to see.  Obviously, a married public figure having an illicit affair doesn't meet those criteria.

Public figures who have affairs are pretty much doomed.  No matter what they do, their partners have very different incentives when it comes to talking.

You need to keep the one you're using for spying/cheating hidden away when you're not using it.

There is also the problem that not all information (like numbers and messages) is stored on your SIM card. The memory on your SIM card is limited and if it's full the information is stored on your phone. If I'm not mistaken, changing SIM cards doesn't erase (hide) the information stored on your phone.

This is why if I am going to cheat I am going to tell my wife BEFORE I start my affair.  Then I won't have to go through all the exhausting effort to hide it.

'Hey Honey?  I am just calling to let you know I am going to cheat on you in about...30 seconds...as soon as she gets out of the shower.  But we're still good right?'

Sometimes you have no choice. A man left my apt the other day and took a camera phone pic of me before I'd even noticed.
