Hi all,
So I've been Googling around with this question and have had trouble finding something clear enough for me to understand. I also went to the AT&T boards but had a little trouble there too. I think my question is pretty straight forward.
I am on a family plan under my father's name, thus, I am not the primary line on the plan. My siblings and I pay our share to our father who handles the rest. I am thinking about upgrading to an iPhone this summer when I am eligible for an upgrade. We currently have more than enough minutes for the family and more than enough texts (most likely unlimited). My question is this: if I were to upgrade, what are my additional costs? I know I will have to pay some sort of required data fee ($30 a month?). Will I have to pay additional for the minutes or texts? These are already on the plan but I'm not sure if you're required to have some kind of special iPhone plan.
I've found this a complicated question to answer because I sometimes read that not being the primary number messes things up, or that you can only have 200 texts when on the iPhone, and all these other things. It seems to me it shouldn't be this hard to answer.
Basically, the decision on whether or not I get an iPhone is based on how much I'll be paying a month. As a college student, I can't afford much more than $30 a month for my phone. Thanks to any assistance you all can provide.
Best,
Taylor
