AT&T Shared data plan

not a good idea!
OK for family but def. not for friends!

 

I really hope they are the very best of friends that have a job. What if they tell you they cannot pay up this or that month ? Family maybe, friends, no

 

I'm in a family plan with 2 of my closest friends, and one of their mothers. Haven't ever had a problem. We all just go online at att.com and pay our portion of the bill directly. Comes out to $30 for a dumb phone and $51 for a smartphone with 3Gb or unlimited data.

Saves a ton of money. I've even been bugging another friend to take the 5th line and decrease each price by another $6-7.

But yeah as the others here said. Make sure that you trust them to be responsible every month.

 

remember, if the others do not pay - TOUGH LUCK. You are the ONLY person responsible.

I had a brother on my plan. He kept running up extra charges and did not pay. Cut him off.

 

I could live with the not paying part since I could just suspend them, but I would be worried about them using over their share of data then you can get crazy overages.

 

The fact that this is even a possibility tells me this is a terrible idea.

Have you really thought this through, how much you'll be on the hook for, your credit rating, etc...
