You are correct, and if you go family share you will save as much as 10 bucks a month VS getting 2 single lines….so /shrug kind of a wash really.

too much bucks, too little service = verizon

@VZWguy:
Actually, since each secondary line would be $99/month, NE2, annual upgrade, and all that stuff would still apply to each one of them, since all of that is based on the monthly price of the line, and at $99/month the price is certainly high enough to qualify. So, given the quoted prices (assuming they are even true) it seems like it basically doesn’t matter if you go with single lines or family share lines, unless perhaps the prices will in fact be different in the end, and/or perhaps some shared features (like the Select or Premium versions of the plans) will make it somewhat worthwhile.

They are a little bit late because Helio has had not only unlimited calling, but unlimited calling, internet, messaging, GPS on some of the most advanced handsets in the world. You can find out all about it only by going to http://www.heliounlimited.com .

199 for a family share 2 lines
99 per each additional line you add to it for unlimited. for the price you may as well just get 99.99 unlimited single plans that will get you a NEe upgrade, plus a yearly upgrade that you don;t get on the secondary lines of FS plans.

FS is not really a good price if you are going with an unlimited plan at this time. just get single line unlimited plans.

siungle lines = 99.99
single line select = 119.99
single line premium = 139.99
that is the breakdown

Verizon heard about the “nukes” Hesse was going to be unleashing and they figured a headstart wouldn’t hurt

@Galvatron
Given the trouble that VZW ended up going through with the data cap–which doesn’t really exist anymore–it’s very doubtful they’ll do something like that with this (no to mention that their unlimited messaging, and even unlimited nights & weekends and IN calling are all truly unlimited).

@Jake
the att plan that you are talking about was the charter plan when att first introduced gsm it is no longer available and only a few thousand people still use it
