My current family plan:
$80 - 1400 minutes
$10 - +1 line
$10 - +1 line
$10 - +1 line
$30 - unlimited shared text
$25 - iPhone 2gb data
$30 - 4G 3gb data (my S3)
$20 - iPhone 300mb data
$20 - iPhone 300mb data
$15 - iPad 250mb data
= $250

Shared 10gb data plan:
$120 - plan cost
$120 - adding 4 smartphones
$10 - adding 1 iPad
=$250

So for the same price we share 10gb data instead of having a total of 5.85gb unshared. For me it looks like a good deal assuming one family member doesn't start hogging all the data whereas now I have 3gb they can't steal! More realistically I get to use 7gb of data and they keep using the same ~3gb they always have!

Also unlimited talk is meaningless to me. With 1400 minutes a month we never go over...and have about 10,000 rollover minutes we never use - all thanks to A-List.

Same here.... unlimited minutes is pointless to me... I mean who really talks on the phone nowadays... it's mostly text messages I use... I burn about 7,000 and like 85 mins a month...
