I was thinking about buying Duos phone instead of 2 ones, but I still have some doubts about it, because of the battery. Sometimes when the battery is low on one phone, then I can use another one.
Thank you so much for visiting Jessica.
I am using Duos Phone and it working fine for me.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Duos is my choice and it is the phone that am currently using. the best thing about dual phones, you will save some money from the start when you are buying it. instead of buying two which is costly.
