A family phone plan can offer real savings when you need more than one line, which is why parents and kids have relied on them for years. By grouping multiple lines under one account, wireless carriers typically lower the per-line cost, making family plans an easy way to reduce a monthly cell phone bill.
In the world of mobile service, though, "family" isn’t limited to parents and children. Most wireless carriers don't require proof of relationship, shared addresses or legal ties. Anyone the account holder invites can typically qualify for the same discounted pricing.
