let’s say you wanted 4 lines: 2 with texting+pic messaging+internet, one with just texting, and one with just local+long distance+caller id.

with the old family plan it would break down like this:

$45 – primary line $0 disc. = $45
$45 – 2nd line $10 discount = $35
$43 – 3rd line $10 discount = $33
$40 – 4th line $10 discount = $40
Total = $153

new plan:

$40 – primary $5 discount = $35
$40 – 2nd line $5 discount = $35
$38 – 3rd line $5 discount = $33
$35 – 4th line $5 discount = $30
Total = $133

the new family plan offers the most savings!

next time, read the fine print :)
