    why shouldn't you stay on your family's plan as long as possible? It makes fiscal sense for all involved
    Up to the point you get married, I agree with you. After that? Ridiculous. You are your own family at that point. Who's plan are their frickin' kids going to go on?

    Whichever plan they want? So, you'd pay more money for no reason other than pride? The cell phone companies call them family plans for marketing reasons; not because there are rules of any sort about the participants having to be part of a "family". As I pointed out earlier, you could easily call them group plans and you could sign up with your friends if you wanted to. Drachen already has. Its smart.

    No one is suggesting that you and your wife should have separate plans, just that maybe he and his wife should get off of their respective family's plans and start their own family plan. She probably wouldn't want to give up her Okie phone number, though. The dangers of staying on the fam plan for too long.
    Again, what benefit would it be to start our own plan, when we can stay on their plan, and its cheaper for everyone involved, as opposed to jumping off just to start our own plan with the SAME ING COMPANY, and having to make everyone involved PAY MORE?

    Do you even think before you type this stupid bull ?

    How come u have to change numbers? I didn't have to when I switched from ATT to Verizon
    something re ed about the origin of their contract being in Oklahoma, so they are not able to do it. I think its bull , and they are perfectly capable of doing it, they just have to probably go through extra work and get managers involved and don't want to do that.

    This is some of the dumbest I've ever read. How is he not a customer? Just because he's trying to get the best deal possible it doesn't somehow magically not make him a customer. It makes him a smart shopper.

    Somehow bending over and taking it with no lube from a cell phone company gives you some sort of "customer" pride?
    Of course... the evil corporation argument from the flaming corporate hating liberal who uses corporate inventions and resources to spew his anti capitalist rhetoric. He is NOT a customer because it is NOT his name on the account. If I buy a family plan and GIVE my son a cell phone, I am the customer under contract, NOT my son.

    Now go get on your apple or whatever that you probably blew your government funded check on to whine some more.

    So I just checked my sprint account.... It has my name, my wife's name, and her best friend's name on it. At the very least, they would have record of all of us paying to use their services.

    Money comes from me and goes to them, in exchange for services (cellular phone activities)

    I'm pretty sure that makes me a customer, dumbass.

    Want to get even more technical?

    The word "customer" can also refer to a POTENTIAL buyer, which means someone who isn't even paying or using the services that the seller provides.

    So, going by your logic of telling me to break off and get my own account, the fact that I am in position to seriously consider that, also makes me a customer.

    Either way, you are wrong as .

    Wow dude. Anti Capitalist? Because I don't bend over stupidly for a cell phone company? For some super capitalist you sure do have a stupid way of managing your money and defining customers.

    This post made my afternoon. Thanks.

    I wonder, when you go buy something at a store and your name is not on an account, are you a customer? I guess not.

    I don't know about that, but I do know that Pakidan sees candy bars that are "2 for $1" or "$0.79 each" and buys 2 yet still insists on paying $1.58.

    But only if he's buying the 2nd for someone who's not his family. If their family is OK to pool for a discount.

    When dealing with phone CS just call a few times to make sure you get all the correct answers.

    No - it's about people trying to milk the system. He's milking the system. He obviously wants the benefits of having his own account.... without paying for his own account. The candy analogy is ludicrous! Now if Stretch came and offered me 30 cents for the candy I paid 50 cents for, that would be closer to this reality. If you want the benefits, you have to pay for them, which entails GETTING YOUR OWN DAMN ACCOUNT! He is trying to MILK THE SYSTEM for as much as he can get out of it... WHILE hoping for all of the benefits of full paying customers. The family plan is intended to ease the financial burden on homes with multiple phone users where a parent is paying the bill, NOT for cousins, legally responsible adults or distant relatives, especially those who live in different states! Oh but... big bad AT&T deserves to be milked...

    Mmmm, candy.

    You can't expect the same privileges when jumping accounts.

    I don't see the problem with staying on someone else's plan, though.
