   I am all ears if someone can tell me of a better GSM plan than what I'm on.   
   Certainly, my previously-grandfathered plan of $60/month for 4 phones with   
   zero data was perfect (unlimited everything else); but it had horrendous   
   overseas costs so I switched to the $100/month plan (with data) and they   
   won't let me back on the old plan anymore.   
      
   I don't claim that I've even *looked* at pre-paid family plans, but if it's   
   $30/month *per* phone, then that's slighly *worse* than what I have now,   
   which is:   
   a. 4 phones   
   b. Each with unlimited talk & text   
   c. Each with 2.5GB data (temporarily at 3.5GB for marketing reasons)   
   d. Europe-travel goodies such as 20 cents a minute when calling in Europe   
   and unlimited data when traveling in Europe (which is why I switched to   
   this plan from my $60/month plan as I spend a few months in Europe every   
   year).

   My phones are Nexus 5 (unused at the moment), iPhone 6, Moto G, LG   
   something, maybe L6, and Galaxy S3, plus a few iPads.   
      
   I'd think that's pretty typical of most mixed iOS/Android households.
