Boy, I'm glad I'm not your kids.

What a hardass. If one of them breaks an arm, I bet they're afraid to tell
you for fear of their lives!

Exactly!

BTW, they have yet to run me over on minutes or dip into the roll over pool
(and thats what its there for), what did scare me was the texting, even if
they don't initiate or respound, their friends will text them.

Yeah, like THAT never happened before cell phones.

And we wonder why we have kids who can't do anything for themselves.

If that is unlimited free calling to selected people, my ATT plan and most
of the plans I know of, have free calling to other ATT customers.

Exactly. With T-Mobile they each have to buy a T-Mobile phone or
calling is only 1 way.

With AT&T they'd also each need a phone, but instead of 4 other people
to call, they'd have 50,000,000 others.

As far as the Sprint plan goes, it's unlimited free calling to any of the 3
numbers you designate, any carrier or landline.
