I have a family plan with Cingular right now. We get 450 minutes for 4 lines for $69.99/month.
$39.99 was the original non-family rate, then we added 3 extra lines for $10/each. That number of
minutes is fairly low, but we mostly call each other so those minutes are free. We can go to 700
minutes for an extra $20/month, or get extended hours for $14/month. This is a GSM plan, not an
older TDMA plan.
