Well, I must admit....I had been on the no need for a cell phone, or at least no need for more than a pre-paid plan before now. Finally, there is a carrier in our area where the reception is outstanding. We will be elminating our landline. We signed up for a family plan. Though it will end up costing us about $40 more a month than our previous set-up....the justifications are endless. I am at home with the little ones all day while my DH works. He isn't able to call home much or for any long amount of time. Now I can share with him the little moments that occur with our little ones--with the camera and audio features of our phones. Also my mom and I can talk without her getting charges minutes. These phones have added a whole new dimension to our lives and our marriage. There is a priceless value added to our lives by paying the extra $40 a month. PLUS....we have eliminated a tom of debt these past two months already and will eliminate much more by the end of this year. So in our particular case, the two phones---not a true "need"---but I am seeing the benefits....
