Lots of people (in all the economic brackets) keep multiple phones numbers in the develloping world..
Some because it's usually cheaper to call within a carrier so they use a certain line to call certain numbers.
Some to be reached more easily (for the same reason as above).
Some because there's no number portability and they want to keep their old number while they want to use a new one for whatever reason.
Some because networks can be unreliable.
Some because they'll give separate numbers to separate people (Pro/Personnal , wife/mistress, anybody/VIP).
And since most people are on prepaid, there's little to no cost to having multiples lines.
