Shared plans are much like family plans in that they allow more than one user to share minutes on one bill. Just like with a family plan, each person has his own phone and phone number, including his own voicemail system. Shared plans allow people to enjoy a certain savings that comes from “buying in bulk”.
An additional benefit to having a shared plan is that, (along with certain Family Plans), users can call the people within their shared plan and use a separate allocation of minutes apart from the allotted number. Some shared plans even offer unlimited free calling between members under the same bill. For people who are constantly calling a few people, it might be wise to look into a shared plan. Sharing is caring.
