thats a pretty impressive plan, lets hope the other carriers follow suit. maybe sprint will even try to undercut to heat up a price war... we can only dream, right?

I'm pretty sure thats a male toddler not baby girl

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Definitely a boy.

Wait..... $99 for the first line, $49 for each following line? Seems a bit pricey. I'd like the option to give the primary user unlimited everything, and a simple $9/month add on for phone only on the other lines.

Ok, that would be pretty dumb...Let's see, the other major carriers have unlimited talk for $99 and $99 for each additional line. So five lines would be $500. With this plan, 5 lines would be $300 or $60 each! That's cheap as hell!

So, 4 lines with unlimited talk and text, and the $20 total internet add-on (so, unlimited everything) ... $330/mo. That's $83/mo each. That's just barely above the $75-$80/mo "reasonable cost" mark I set when the unlimited war began.
And if you do "t-zones web" instead of "total internet", it's $274/mo, or $69/mo each. Under the mark I set ... you just have to get 3 people to join you.
Compared to $50/mo on MetroPCS, where you're region limited for your unlimited service. $19/mo extra is worth that, I think. Now I just have to find 2 friends to go in with my wife and I. I think all of my friends are in the middle of contracts, though (a bunch of them renewed last Fall, and didn't go to Metro with the wife and I).

If i can remember correctly, doesn't metropcs have a much better unlimited family plan than these already?

Yes. But seeing how Metro is only regional, take a trip to NY(or wherever it isn't - I've never heard of it we have cricket here) and poof no coverage.

Would be nice and valid if MetroPCS was a national carrier.
