What is the best way to have multiple phone devices for testing without paying monthly service on each?
In the good ol' days of POTS, you could stick as many phone devices in your home and ma bell didn't care (well sort of).
Now it seems like I need to have a unique phone number and sim card for every device so big brother can keep an eye on me. Is there a way around this?
I was just curious what other phone app developers do about this.
Oh, and if big brother reads this. I'm asking for a friend.

You can use the same SIM card in as many phones as you want. You can even use a phone without a SIM card (obviously this restricts its capabilities).
Some phones don't like this, silly SIM locks and such. Just have it unblocked.
source: I share a cheap SIM card between some phones.

Live in the UK where you can put pay as you go sim cards in any device you can beg, borrow, or ... you know ... that other thing? Civilisation 1 USA! USA! USA! 0 
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

we have the SIMs only for activating devices and than remove them. And we have SIMs with no monthly fee.

Emulators[^]?
Or do you care about actual hardware?

If you don't care about the phone having access to the mobile network, then a device without a SIM will work just fine. Clearly if you're developing an app that interacts with phone calls or text messaging you need a SIM (but I don't think I needed to tell you that.)
Some SIMs will work in multiple phones, but it's carrier dependent also. I have T-Mobile (US) myself, and my SIM will work in multiple phones (meaning the phone will access the SIM and any information on it,) but the network won't let you register unless it recognizes the SIM-IMEI pairing.
As others have described, they have "floating" SIMs (that don't require you to call your carrier and have the SIM transferred to the new IMEI,) but I don't know what carriers those would be.

Last week I've been trying to get Linux running in VMWare, without any luck.
Some good folk here on CP suggested I try VirtualBox and that did the trick! 
So I now got a Linux Mint and an Ubuntu VM on my Windows machine.
The following came to mind:
Yo dawg, we heard you like operating systems so we put operating systems in your operating system so you can operate your systems while you're operating your system
Now, time to uhhh... Operate some more

Stop drinking while you are operate...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Be reasonable! The man is struggling with Linux/Ubuntu. How will he ever persevere if he has to avoid drinking?
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Hey, come on! Give the man a chance.
He's installed two flavours of Linux. That's not booze.
I'm guessing crystal meth myself... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That means I've come to a point where I can no longer operate a computer (or anything for that matter)

Cinnamon on Mint and uhhh... The default on Ubuntu.
I really wouldn't know the difference
|
|
|
|
|

Nothing of that meant anything to me.
I'll stick with the defaults which, according to the article, is Gnome for Ubuntu 
And Cinnamon (whatever that is) for Mint

VirtualBox is way better than the rest, one of the benefits is that it is updated every week or two. The scripts that control the devices are also updated. Linux Mint, Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu itself are a must have in my list, then there come others like Elementary OS; trust me, it's a very beautiful version of Ubuntu.
I got a list of them, I even try out Mac on my Windows. Which is definitely worst experience, but you understand the point being made.

Now install a virtual machine inside that virtual machine.
(next version of Hyper-V will allow you to do that...some other products already do - don't know if VirtualBox is one of them though)

Ever Skyped with somebody who shared his screen with you when he's using some other tool to look at your screen?
The 'mirror in a mirror' effect is...interesting. No crash though.
