MAC addresses are supposed to be unique to each handset but there have been cases of phones that have the same MAC address ex factory.
Can indeed happen - back about 20 years ago a (large) IT services company I used to work for had a batch of 50 or so PCMCIA network cards all with the same MAC address. Caused enormous problems for a short while until we got to the bottom of it.
