Back in February, when the carriers were rolling out their unlimited plans, we noticed a few problems with them. First was that AT&T and Verizon were offering just unlimited voice for $99 per month. Meanwhile, T-Mobile sweetened the pot a bit with unlimited text messaging. But no one really addressed the issue of family plans. You can’t share the unlimited minutes, so most families had to pay $99 for each unlimited line — though I believe one company charged $5 less for each additional line. That is, until now. T-Mobile has introduced a new family unlimited plan.
The first line still costs $99.99 per month. But instead of spending the same amount on each additional line, T-Mo is cutting the price in half. So additional lines will cost $49.99 each, and yes, will include unlimited text messaging. This seems like the perfect idea for a family full of teenagers.
It’s good for up to four additional lines, so five in total. Then again, with MyFaves and unlimited mobile to mobile plans, is this really necessary? I guess we’ll see. Hey, whatever keeps the phone bill manageable.
