I have a $49.99 plan with TMO. That is for 1000 anytime minutes for two lines. I pay $9.99 for another line and $9.99 for unlimited text. I have free My Faves (5 numbers) on all three lines.

With this set up, the kids have NEVER gone over in minutes and text 8-10k texts a month. We use less than half of our minutes each month. I have 3 phone lines with TWO TEENAGERS and it costs me $70 a month.

STEAL.

Damn, that is a good deal. I think we pay 20 or 30 a month for unlimited texting family plan.

I used to pay $19.99 but then TMO offered my father the unlimited family texting for $9.99 when he added it to his plan in Nov. I called every month since December asking them to give me that rate. Finally, when one of my lines was out of contract and I threatened to cancel it did they match that rate.

I'd been with them for TEN years and they have been very good to me but it sort of irked me that someone adding the feature could get a better rate than a longer timer like me.
