Thanks for this thread. I'm in that transition stage where the kids will be needing phones pretty soon. I was looking at options like PopSIM and stuff like that and was basically thinking of going with adding a line to my AT&T plan (an extra $15/mo to use our 20GB shared data).
This $2.50/mo "deal" is intriguing. As long as my oldest is just using talk/text, I think she can stay under the 100MB threshold. The problem is that she'll want to use iMessage and that might push it into the $12/GB range.
I'll have to mess around to see how much data iMessages would actually use.
Question 1 - When you sign up for the plan, would you select the $12/GB plan?
Question 2 - If you don't exceed the 100MB shared data, then the $12 doesn't show up in the bill? Would you have to do anything special to de-select the $12/GB plan?
As far as phones go, I have an extra iPhone6 (T-mo unlocked) that shows up as being compatible. Which is odd since it doesn't have any CDMA radios. I wonder if Xfinity is just using the LTE from Verizon and not the CDMA stuff (if that's even possible).
