Anyone have 6 phones on family plan?

[Buckeye Hutch]

I've seen on another forum that Sprint will allow exceptions to their family plan. Others there have 6, 7, even up to 10 phones on one family plan. I have 6 members in my family. My phone just died and I am thinking of merging from old ATT to Cingular. My current family plan has 3 phones on it. My triplets just turned 13 and are clamoring for their own phones. So I am wondering if anyone has a Cingular family plan with more than the 5 line maximum?? Thanks

I just answered a similar question, here is a link to the other thread:

I just got off the phone with Cingular. They said I would need a $1000 deposit if I do not have a business Tax ID number (which I don't) to enroll in a 6 line small business account. Any other ideas?

Try a different carrier...don't limit yourself to one company if they require so big of a deposit.

We have a cabin in SE Ohio. We have tested other carriers there, but Cingular is the only signal we can get (with a Wilson antenna). So we will have to stay with Cingular.

Either 2 seperate FT plans or 1 phone on a seperate plan and the other 5 on the FT plan are you best bets.

What's your hobby? My Mom used to make jewlery as a hobby, and wanted to get into the wholesale shows to buy settings, beads, gems, supplies, etc. She created a business (J&R Imports), printed some business cards, then submitted an application for a tax ID. She had it in a couple of weeks. All it cost her was a few minutes of her time, & a stamp. That was 20 years ago. You can apply online now, and print out a tax ID # in minutes.
