Add a phone and shared minutes problem?

Hi,

Hope that I can explain this correctly.

Added another phone with shared minutes several months ago.

I checked my online usage and shared pcs to pcs minutes don't
show up on the web site or when you call to check minutes. The
shared minutes are taken from the anytime minutes, and the bill
is corrected at the end of the month. At least this is what
sprint rep. told me.

Is there anyway to track pcs to pcs minutes on the subphone
(add a phone) account?

This is wild, and does anyone know if this is correct???

Thanks,

Alan

Assuming your phones are only using PCS to PCS to call each other, you
could subtract the amount of PCS to PCS minutes reported for the first
phone from your total plan minutes used? Meaning, usage shows 70
minutes of PCS to PCS, well, if those 70 minutes were with the other
phone on your contract, it to should be 70 PCS to PCS used on that phone
also, so subtract 70 minutes from the total plan minutes used. Not
completely accurate if you are calling other PCS people though. I've
never actually used that method and compared it to a bill. YMMV
**Starting to drift off topic here **
In fact, I've never compared my bill or looked at my minutes with any
real care because I usually have about 500-1000 minutes left on my plan
at the end of the month. Seems like a waste but at the time of my
contract, 3 phones sharing 2000 minutes was only $20 more then 3 on a
600 minute plan so I did it. My phone plan went from cautious use,
monitoring the minutes, and waiting till 9pm to who the hell cares, call
my cell phone, and use it all the time for only $20 more.
