Explanation:
I did not find any translation, but apparently this term refers to a secondary phone which allows you to divide your alloted phone time on two phones that have two different numbers. Hope I'm clear :)

"Digital PCS customers may now share their airtime with a second phone for just $15 per month. While the companion phone shares minutes with your primary phone, each phone has a separate phone number...."

I think I would just say \"téléphone secondaire\".
