Thus you can have a phone which supports >multiple numbers/systems, but you can't have the same number programmed into >more than one phone. Why is it not legitimate to have two phones with the same phone number? I would very much like to add a second mobile phone (for my wife) but am unwilling to spend the extra monthly charge. Random question: What are current cellular rates around the country? In SF Bay area, wireline, I can choose: Plan A: 45c/min day, 20c/min night/wknd $45/month Plan B: 90c/min day, 20c/min night/wknd $25/month Plan B was introduced 6 months ago. Otherwise, there has been no change in rates since service began 3 years ago. =John=
