Family Plans

Family plans are Share Plans that let you consolidate your family's cellular phone usage onto one monthly bill. Two, three, four, or even five lines can all share the same account, with separate phones and phone numbers for each line. Since adding lines to the main account is cheaper than getting a whole new plan for each number of the family, the savings can really add up. Most major carriers have family plans available, with plan options like unlimited night and weekend minutes, free long distance and free roaming.

Getting a family plan is a great way to keep an eye on your family's spending on cellular phone service. Here, as with all Cellular Phone Plans, the key is to choose wisely so that what you need is covered by the basic plan contract. Most family plans are oriented toward local calling, so if you're all going to be using the cellular phone to call Grandma in another state, or if you want your daughter to be able to take her phone away to college, get a plan that will fit your calling needs.
