Thanks, all. I will investigate this and see what I find out. My understanding is that you would essentially have two Phone apps, one associated with each phone number you are using. I imagine it would be similar with messages, and then all other apps would be as expected. And yes, Sieghard is correct--VOIP is not an option for what I need, especially as I'd like to keep my personal number, and work has already assigned me a phone number.
