Any possibility on getting 7 phones on a family plan?

The only way for this is to get a small business account.

or you might get 2 family plans as others have done.

 

yeah. it is possible to get lines separated into different plans on the same account..........i do this with sprint and we have two separate single plans on one account.

but is the 5 limit cap on plans or on accounts

 

I know with Sprint the limit is 5 lines for the plan, but on the account, it really depends on your credit score how many lines you can actually have on the account. I would say keep yours and just open the other 3 on another plan but on the same account, I would assume you can do that.

 

that makes sense........and it might be different from carrier to carrier......and why would they prevent you from having a certain amount of lines on an account i can imagine maybe after 5 lines on family plans companies might start losing money on the Nights and Weekends and M2M

 

you can split into 2 family groups...one with 3 the other with 4... 5 is the max per family group

 

Your right about the M2M and Nights & Weekends, but I believe they limit the number of lines on a account because if you have to many and have a low credit rating, you will be a very big liability for the company. I would guess that if you have a good rating, they won't mind to much the # of lines since you won't be as much of a risk to not pay your bill. I would say still keep your current plan now, and just add everyone else to a new plan. That way you won't mess with any settings on it.

 

They are losing at least $30.00 of potential revenue comparing a secondary line on a FalmilyTalk plan versus that as an individual line. I guess that $40.00 is the maximum that they want to lose before they require either a new individual line or another primary line on a FamilyTalk.
