   Pretty similar to T-Mobile's new plan for a family of four.

   ===========================================================================   
   Thanks for the additional input, as I only know t-mobile well, and T-Mobile   
   doesn't do the *shared* data thing (which would be very useful when adults   
   and teens are involved - where the teens can suck up all the data).   
      
   We all appreciate your purposefully helpful Verizon corrections, just as   
   you can appreciate my connection with T-Mobile for their *best* deals.   
      
   In fact, if only 3 or 4 other helpful people post (one from each of the   
   other carriers), we'd have an excellent summary for *everyone* to benefit   
   from.   
      
   But, if the entire thread is from the likes of nospam and Rod Speed, each   
   of whom must be commended on the consistency of their repeatable selfish   
   unhelpfulness, then *nobody* will benefit from this thread.   
      
   Adding your Verizon data to the original research, and re-ordering by price   
   (best to worst), here is the first correction, for the benefit of all, as   
   always:   
      
   1. Google Fi ($120/month, some of which is refunded if data is unused)   
   2. Verizon ($130/month)   
   3. T-Mobile ($140/month)   
   4. Sprint ($180/month)   
   5. AT&T ($220/month)   
      
   * Google Fi *   
   $20/month for each phone line   
   $10/month for each phone line for each 1GB data (refunded if unused)   
   (special phones required)   
      
   * Verizon *   
   $130/month ($80/month for 4 phones at $20/month/phone + $50 for 4Gb of   
   *shared* data)   
   Or, 8Gb+2GB/phone on account = $70, so for $150, the family of four could   
   share in 16Gb of data   
      
   * T-Mobile *   
   $140 a month unlimited data & access point for a family of 4 (with autopay)   
   Details here (and in my other posts in this thread):   
   http://i.cubeupload.com/mblBtd.jpg   
      
   * Sprint *   
   The Sprint Unlimited Freedom plan is $60/month for a single line of   
   unlimited unlimited voice, text and LTE data. A second line will be $40.   
      
   * AT&T *   
   $55/month unlimited talk, text and 2GB data for each line   
      
   If you know of a *better* post-paid unlimited USA talk/text plan (with some   
   data) for a family of 4, please advise so that everyone benefits from your   
   effort.
