When Verizon announced a new unlimited minute plan for $99, other companies were quick to follow.  Family plans, however, got hit a bit harder, with EACH line charged the full $99.99 for the plan instead of getting a discount like other plans for being on the same account.

T-Mobile has announced it will lower the price for secondary lines on family accounts to $49.99.  T-Mobile’s unlimited plan also includes unlimited text, picture messaging and instant messaging, unlike other carriers that charge extra for those services.

Look for your carrier to jump on the train with this pretty quickly.
