On our family plan we paid $10/month/phone. It was a great deal. We decide the iPhones are worth it for us, so we're sharing a family plan (hubby and I) and using his employee discount. Be sure to check with your human resources, or any clubs, affiliations you might have that could net you a discount. We're saving 13% &#43 $360 savings you mentioned. It made the monthly cost a bit easier to swallow. We went from a family plan with Verizon to the iPhones.

Be sure to check with your human resources, or any clubs, affiliations you might have that could net you a discount. We’re saving 13% + $360 savings you mentioned. It made the monthly cost a bit easier to swallow.

If something goes awry, each person can leave the account and go back to paying the full rate. I wouldn't suggest go out and buy a new iPhone and find some friends to participate in this plan, but if three <strong>close, trustworthy and STABLE friends</strong> already have one, you may as well join together and benefit from the savings potential, even a few months can save $100. Now i certainly agree "in-laws" need to be avoided at all cost! @ Paul – I do agree with you, however at an age where people are often finding roommates through craigslist, a $60-$100 responsibility a month is not as risky as co-signing a car loan, etc. Also, with the way AT&T has it set up, there can be multiple administrators on the account.

I've seen too many examples of when this goes terribly wrong. Especially if one of your "friends" is my sister-in-law. Families I get but friends, hmm not so much.
