What's the best plan/phone for my family?

Question

Ok, I need a plan (any provider) that has 3 lines, unlimited texting for one phone, free nights/weekends, free mobile to mobile, and is available in MA.

Also, what phone on that plan would you recommend? It should have a qwerty keyoard, camera, and if possible wi-fi.

thanks!

Answer 1

cheap for family would be t mobile but best service overall would be verizon

Answer 2

If you're cheap like me, I would recommend t-mobile because it is the cheapest among the big providers.  You can get two free phones + for yourself, you can get the shadow for 99 dollars.  The shadow comes with  has wifi and  an expanded (though not full qwerty) keyboard.  If qwerty is very important to you, you can get the t-mobile dash or wing instead.

Get the  family plan for your phones.  It comes with two lines and all the features you want so all you need to do is add one more line.  To get internet on your smartphone, you need to sign up for T-mobile web for 5.99.  Its only supposed to give you access to the tzones store (for downloading games and ringtones) but with a little bit of hacking, you can tweak your shadow to get full internet and mail access.  You can't beat that with ATT.   Unlimited texting for one phone is around 15 dollars, I think.
