- If I have two phones on one account, with distinct phone numbers, is it one sub or two?

- If I have a phone and a modem on an account, one sub or two?


I dont really know the answer to these questions but FWIW....my guess is that the first situation would be counted as two subs, I have no clue on the second.

Hopefully, an analyst will think to start asking questions like this as PCS/Verizon transition to 1x.

Cooters,

<< - If I have two phones on one account, with distinct phone numbers, is it one sub or two? >>

Two subs, one account.

<< If I have a phone and a modem on an account, one sub or two? >>

Two subs. one account, unless the modem is the phone.

Add M2M on your security system (or a home appliance) and it is another sub (unless M2M is bluetooth or whatever).

Exception is if you have multiple devices but activate them for use other than for emergency calling only by swapping SIM, USIM, or R-UIM.

This of course throws the traditional method of "saturation point" and "100% penetration" (based on population of a country or region) out of whack, but research houses (beginning with EMC) are revising traditional methodology for calculating "saturation point".
