ok im trying to get my head around AT&T's new "Mobile Share" plan, since theyre pushing it for mobile hotspotting and facetime over cellular use.

currently i have two lines, like so:


$30 - line 1, unlimited
$30 - line 2, 3GB
$30 - unlimited text
$60 - 700 familyplan minutes, line 1
$10 - 700 familyplan minutes, line 2
-------
$160 a month​

we dont use much data, so the the 4GB Mobile Share plan would work. it appears like it costs this much:

$70 - 4GB data (w/ hotspot and facetime, right?)
$40 - smartphone 1
$40 - smartphone 2
-------
$150 a month​

...have i got that right? does the Mobile Share bundle includes voice? it says "Mobile Share with Unlimited Talk & Text" - does that mean no plan minutes, 24/7, no rollover, etc?

im basing my prices off this Mobile Sharing promo page:

Yes. There should be a voice component in your current pricing.

We had 3 lines and found going to the 6G shared saved us $25 a month albeit with the loss of one old unlimited data line. Since our historical trend over all of 2012 had been less than 3G combined, I was fine with that.
