Family Cell service

[OLYLEN]

I'm am seeing on the tube a lot of advertising for Cell plans that look as if they could save $$$. Unlimited calls nation wide, unlimited text AND 10 gig of data. Setup for 4-5 lines but most of us have two. When we are on the road this would cover all our talk text and data needs and appear cheaper than what most have now. I can't do this at the moment as I have grandfathered data but others might look into this as an options,

A lot depends on the carrier, unlimited on T-Mobile doesn't mean the same as unlimited on Verizon. T-Mobile has always had problems ever since they were "Voice Stream". In fact that is why they changed their name. And some others are even worse. But if you are just going to be by big cities then the coverage is better, although slow sometimes. JMHO.

Good news! Everything cheap and free! Bad news....lousy coverage.

We just switched our old AT&T plans to the just announced family share as the op described. 2 iPhones and an old "feature" phone, 10 gigs of shared data. The base prices is a bit less than what we are paying now for less function. Will be interested what the new cost is after all the taxes and fees are included.

I am not sure Verizon even offeres Unlmited any more or how much it costs. I know my daughter dropped V because the cost kept going up up up and the service down down down.. Not a Robert Hall plan at all (How many remember Robert Hall? A clothing store).

I have had T-Mobile since they were Omnipoint (Before Voicestream) and yes, had a few issues long about the VS takeover. but I have been pleased since T-mobile.

Originally I had limited plans and roaming cost and so on (had to argue with them back in the Omnipoint days on one of those issues but. HEY).

Today, I get Unlimited voice, anywhere in the US (At least the main 48, Never tried calling AK or HI) Unlimited text (I never came close to limits when I had 'em.

And unlimited Data but only 6.5 Gig of HIGH speed, then it shuts me down to nobody can seem to tell me what. (I hit 6.6 one month).

THe catch is: Some places (Where I am not) Data is .. not very good.

But then the park Wi-Fi is.

Other places I park the Wi-Fi is not.. but T-Mobile is.

For me it works best.

For many.. T-Mobile has too little HIGH speed coverage. Verizon has much more.. Though I'm nto sure what' shappening with AT&T.. They show a voice map not that bets Verizon's.. but I do not know if it also works with Data.
