T Mobile Family Plan
Review

The advantage of the T Mobile family plan is that it offers unlimited weekend, nights and mobile-to-mobile minutes within all their family plans. This allows you to stay in touch with the people you care about the most, without worrying about using up minutes in your cell phone plan. T-Mobile also have the largest GSM network in the U.S. Despite minor coverage problems that they are fixing, they are a great provider: especially their excellent customer service.

Cell Phone Plans Picture The T Mobile family plan has three levels: basic, normal and plus. The main difference is in the amount of anytime allowed. The basic plan includes 400 anytime minutes for $50, which is the most suitable for 2 family members. There is the normal family plan with 800 anytime minutes which I recommend for family plans with 2 or more phones. However if you plan to add more phones then it may be better to get the family plan plus which includes 1600 minutes as opposed to the 800 minutes.

Usually with other family phone plans, there is a minimum requirement of two phones with an additional $20 for each additional phone. However with T Mobile family plans, additional phones are half of the cost at $10 per month each (max of 5 total lines). Their monthly service fee also includes 2 phones already. This makes the T Mobile family plan the cheapest family plan available. Also included in the their plans are added features such as voice mail, numeric paging, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, conference calling, and T-Mobile instant messaging.

Furthermore, there's no long distance or digital roaming charges with T Mobile plans. As a result of their reputation for excellent customer service, call quality and reception, they are a quality service provider. T Mobile definitely have the best family plan out of all the major providers. Their coverage area is not as large compared to giants like Verizon, so it's important to check that T Mobile covers area that you call frequently. You can take a look at their coverage map here.

Overall Rating for this plan: 4.5/5
