My husband and I bought two of these with a shared plan. Even though we're sharing minutes, we do not get any discount for calling each other, in fact, we get charged on both ends and we constantly get bad reception. (One of us usually hangs up and we call each other on my Siemens phone.) This phone is VERY heavy compared to every other cell phone I've ever tried. I also don't like the fact that there's no cover for it. I keep it either in my purse or in my coat pocket and it frequently dials numbers by itself with the slightest bump or touch from something... which adds to my phone bill.
