T-Mobile Cell Phone Family Plans
Until some time ago calling our sons and daughter wasn’t really cheap. A short cellphone call would cost over one dollar easily. But since we started using the T-Mobile cell phone family plans it isn’t a problem anymore. Now we can talk without thinking about costs. Talking now is as cheap as free!
We benefit from unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes, so when my son goes out with his friend I can call him to know if he arrived well and when hes coming home. The change in the phone bill is notable. Nearly half the expenses than before. I recommend this plan to every family who is interested in saving money in calls. But not only do I spend less money but also does my son and daughter. When they spoke hours on the phone with their friends it was a problem for us who paid the bills. But the family plan is not only for the family but also they can talk to their friends every night for free after 9pm.
Also T-Mobile offers a Nationwide Digital Roaming when we call another T-Mobile phone in the whole USA. The good thing of this is that you don’t have to pay expensive roaming costs for the call. These things made an important difference. But the biggest change was with the free Nationwide Long Distance for life calls that come included in the family plan. My wife has to travel around the country a lot because of her job and when the kids miss her they want to talk to her. This plan makes it possible to talk for a low price from your home to wherever the other family phone is in a 2000 miles radius. But now. what if my son was also away in some other place and we wanted to talk all together? T-Mobile offers a three-way-call. What does this mean? Well this means that three phones can talk together. So my wife, my son and I can share at the same time what were doing and how much we miss each other. Why miss this opportunity to do all this things for a low price? I really must say, this plan is great.

Sprint Cell Phone Family Plans
I’m really happy with Sprint’s family plans. I had AT&T for years and finally, after my iPhone was unable to get 3G service for the hundredth time, I switched the entire family over to Sprint. I was sad to lose my iPhone (they’re such cool cell phones!), but happy to get a phone that actually worked. We all kept our numbers and the kids were happy to get new phones.
One thing that I really like about Sprint is that they have more than one family plan! It’s nice to be able to take into account everyone’s usage patterns when making a decision on which plan to get. I use a smart phone, my husband uses a blackberry, my daughter is a phone-a-holic (she’s 15) and my son never uses his cell phone (we got it for him for emergencies), putting all of this on one plan didn’t look to be an easy task.
But, I did my research on the various plans on the web and then went into a Sprint store. The salesman could not have been nicer. He asked about all four of our usage patterns and what we primarily use our phones for. He understood pretty quickly that my daughter, my husband and I are all pretty heavy phone users, but that my son is a minor user at best. The salesman recommended that for now we don’t include my son on the family plan, but rather get him a prepaid phone loaded with minutes — the minutes cost more to use, but we won’t be charged a monthly fee. When he starts to use the phone more, we can switch him over to the family plan.
We checked into different cell phone family plans my husband, daughter and myself and he recommended the “Everything Data Family – with Any Mobile, Anytime” plan. This plan has free unlimited data (perfect for me and my husband) and unlimited mobile to mobile calls, unlimited calls after 7 and unlimited texting (perfect for my daughter). I think that the unlimited mobile to mobile calls is wonderful (whoever thought of it must have a teenage) – because of this we were able to get a 1500 minute plan for the three of us.
With Sprint, we’re spending around $160 a month (plus $100 initial outlay for my son’s phone), so, not only does my phone work now, but I saved us a ton of money over AT&T! In addition, now that we have unlimited texting and unlimited mobile to mobile calls, it’s nice to know that I won’t be opening up any surprisingly exorbitant phone bills from my daughter! Sprint has made a former-AT&T customer very happy!

Latest Mobile Phones
The current cellular phone market gives users more choices than ever before. Check out these latest mobile phones to hit the market.
Of course, one of the most popular, cool cell phones available now is Apple’s iPhone. The iPhone has gone through several generations, and the most recent version is the iPhone 3G. The iPhone’s unprecedented success is largely attributed to the iPhone’s App Store, which allows programmers and developers to release their “apps” directly to end users. The iPhone, like many smart phones, boasts a color touch screen and can connect to the internet via WiFi, the EDGE network (aka “2G”) and 3G wireless, when available. Although there has been much speculation as to the iPhone being available on other networks, for now the only carrier choice for iPhone users is AT&T. In some metropolitan areas, such as New York City, the AT&T network has gotten a bad reputation. The iPhone’s on screen keyboard is far and away the best touch screen typing experience available on any phone.
Another newer entry in the smart phone segment of the cellular phone market is the Palm Pre. This phone boasts Palm’s own operating system, known as WebOS. Its unique selling point, is its ability to simultaneously run multiple applications. In addition, the Palm Pre features a slide out physical keyboard, making it an excellent choice for those who don’t want to deal with the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard. Of course, the Palm Pre can function with just the on screen keyboard as well. In addition, Palm has recently released a smaller and less expensive version of the Pre known as the Palm Pixi. Both phones are available on the Sprint network, although the Palm Pre will soon be available on other cellular phone networks as well.
Google’s Android for mobile phones is another choice of cellular phones. When the T-Mobile G1 launched in late 2008 it launched a wave of Android devices. At the time, speculation was that Google would not sell phones themselves, but rather would simply provide the operating system for manufacturers. However, in early 2010 Google surprised the industry by announcing the sale of the Nexus One, a phone sold directly by Google that runs the Android operating system. This phone features a blazingly fast 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor, making it the fastest Android phone on the market. Unlike the T-Mobile G1 or the Motorola Droid, it does not feature a physical keyboard at all. Although it does not feature nearly the number of applications or end users the iPhone enjoys, the Google Nexus One presently remains the fastest Android cellular phone on the market.
