So you want two cellular phones on one line but your server say�s it can�t be done? Don�t believe everything you hear. If your old enough, you may remember when we use to have to pay for an extension on our home land-line phone service. Well, your dealing with the same corporate greedy mentality when it comes to cellular phone service providers. Rather than accommodating the customers they serve for a cost-less service, they�d rather sell you another line that still doesn�t fulfill your requirements, and you pay for as-long as you have it. The service is available. It�s a simple procedure that only takes minutes to do on our machines. Here's how it works. Only one unit can transmit or receive a signal at a time. If both are on stand-by mode, and the phone's ring, the first to answer will lock out the other, the same stands for calling out. Both have the same service number and become cloned twins. There are only certain types of phones we can use as the extensions. Motorola's are the favorite, if you have something else, better to ask us if we can before you bring, or buy. Rarely do we run into problems with the primary phone, and it can usually be of any make (providing we can hex the serial number). There is a one time programming charge. There won't be an increase to existing service, unless of course that unit uses the service during chargeable periods. The system does not recognize the difference between the two clones, and doesn't know of their existence, unless of course you where to tell them. IS IT LEGAL? If you are the legal subscriber of the service, then it's not illegal to have done in Canada, doesn't matter what your server say's. If your not the subscriber of the service, then it becomes a fraud issue, that has prosecutable consequences. In which case, we will not accommodate you. Current prices are as follows: You have both phones, programming extension fee is $150.00 You need to get a phone from us, drops to $100.00 + phone price. Do we have any specials, of course. At the moment we have DPC880 used, buy a phone get it programmed as an extension for $225.00 (includes charge and battery). Have a portable and want a car phone, $225.00 includes programming extension fee, installation extra. Of course we have many others to choose from, and the prices very accordingly, best to visit our showroom. Need more, give us a call, Mon - Fri, 10am-6:30. Al or Ed. All prices are Canadian, American cash gets a 25% discount.
