how much do the phones weigh? you could weigh each phone on its own scale

Working fine so far Dennis R. I haven't verified every zone
yet as I just found the zone chart a little bit ago. Here's
a link to the Zone Chart. Just put in the first 3 digits
of the Zip you ship from and it will generate a printable chart.

BTW: I had to use Google to find, couldn't find it at USPS.com

BDC, the phones weigh 3.49 ounces, or 99 grams, each, on either scale. Damn scales are dead-on accurate it seems. And thank you Dennis R, I'd love to try the updated postage rates. I'll send you a PM with my email address.
Why did I get 2 of the scales? Well, let me tell you...I have a portable electronic scale that weighs up to 5 pounds, by the gram or ounce, for use with my R/C race cars and the parts that go on them. And its place is really with my racing stuff in the garage, and at the track, not inside in my studio with the nice, clean computers, music and photography items.
I'm always weighing packages to go out for my business and personal shipments, and this new USB scale works directly with my shipper's software--that's a good thing. So I'll just leave the scale permanently hooked up to my G4 DA PowerMac, and when it's needed there it is.
My wife needs a scale for her own personal uses, so now she doesn't have to borrow my scale any more. So there you have it!
Now if they only made a talking USB scale, I'd be all set.

Mac OS X or Linux powered USB scale.
