Mike, you can have one "account" and multiple cell phones, but each cell phone has a unique phone number. We do that at home so that we are sharing a pool of 500 min/month. There is a monthly surcharge per phone, however.

Mike,

<< Not having a cell phone >>

Which explains why subscriber numbers are down ...

<< I don't know if one person can use three cell phones on the same account. If they can, certainly that presents the subscription count in a different light than if the sub count is done per phone, per laptop, per whatever device is counted >>

Essentially they can't (well sort of sometimes but strike that its extremely rare). One phone = one subscriber.

Some carriers will aggregate billing for multiple subscriptions in a single bill (personal & business).

In the GSM world (using a SIM) one can have multiple phones (different frequencies, size, whatever) but one subscription.

But bottom line ...

One phone = one subscriber + or minus a fraction of a %.
