AT&T Family plan. 5 phones. Not sure how many minutes we have now. Unlimited texting. Husband has an IPhone which is the only phone we have data on. We all text. That is the main way we communicate. I can text my H to remind him to pick up my D. Or text my D if I am going to be late. Plus my kids all text their friends.Most months we have minutes to rollover but not enough to go down a plan. We will keep our kids on indefinitely. It is much cheaper for them to stay on our plan versus having their own.
We would not pay for a data plan for the kids. We also discourage downloading anything that cost extra. So if they want to buy a ringtone they have to pay for that.
