I'm not sure but for some reason or another I can't get this to work.
Here is an example of what i am TRYING to do:
Tmobile
-about
-phones
-plans
Sprint
-about
-phones
-plans
but when i try to do the sprint/about - it will come up sprint/about-2
It's a different category and the 'about' is a post name. Do I need to just create "pages" or is there a work around for this?
Thanks!
Categories, even sub-categories (category with parent), must be unique.

these aren't sub-categories. These are pages (post) w/in unique categories.
domain.com/category1/about
domain.com/category2/about
make sense?
no

lol i'm using unique url's for the permalinks so once again:
domain.com/category1/about
domain.com/category1/sales
vs
domain.com/category2/about
domain.com/category2/sales
to go a step further
domain.com/category1/subcategory1/about
domain.com/category1/subcategory1/sales
vs
domain.com/category2/subcategory2/about
domain.com/category2/subcategory2/sales
in BOTH "/about" and "/sales" are POST - they are "about" that particular category and UNDER that particular category.
does that help?
Okay got it.
You may need to resort to using %post_id in your Permalinks to make each unique.
As a note, some developers would recommend against using category based Permalinks, for performance reasons.

I'll try it out. THANKS!
On the 2nd part re: developers - how does it affect performance?
btw thanks for all your help!
how does it affect performance?
Retards performance as it has to check database for rewrite rules. See this thread on the wp-testers email list: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-testers/2009-January/011097.html Quoting from Ryan Boren on that thread:
"Verbose rules are used for structures beginning with %category%,
%tag%, %postname%, and %author%. Avoiding such structures is best.
