OMGWTF
(3,980 posts)I hear they also work well in Europe, unlike Verizon. Hoping to find out next year if we still have a world.

(4,846 posts)2 years ago, my parents finally convinced me to join them as they got their 60+ discount. So it's almost the same price for 3 phones unlimited to my previous plan for just one person.

(1,294 posts)Kids on their cell phone plans. Even some whose kids are in their 40s with children of their own.
My 28 yr old makes well into the six figures, not even counting bonuses, and hes still on our plan. Hes on my Netflix, too.

My kids are in their 20s, one in grad school and one heading to law school. They're on my phone plan, Netflix, Hulu, and of course health insurance until they age out. The one that has a vehicle is on my car insurance when he's actually in school. They have their own Amazon and NYT accounts.
It's all good.
Fun thing to do: mess with the parental controls on Netflix. My youngest son (the one heading to law school) couldn't figure out why he suddenly only had access to G rated shows last week. He sent me a screen shot of a bunch of animated shows in his feed.

(1,294 posts)the first few years out of college. Even though he had good paying job we paid anyway as car insurance is very expensive in the city where he lives. It was $400ish/month. After a few years and raises, plus better paying job we cut that cord. By then he was older so his rate went down, too. He also stayed on our health insurance until he aged out. It was silly for him to pay for employers plan when he could stay on our plan and it didnt cost us anything to keep him on. We were on a family plan and it didnt matter how many in a family, 2 or 10 no difference.
By helping him out when he first graduated with those types of things he was able to put more into his employers retirement plan. Having no college debt helped him with savings, too. He just bought a house last year and didnt even need to ask us for help with down payment,
And Im still paying for his phone!

(9,132 posts)My original phone in my late teens early twenties made sense, because you had unlimited calls to people in the plan, and my parents were who I actually used my phone with the most. And it was just plain cheaper to have us split the bill. My father eventually got my niece a phone and put her on the plan as well.
When he died a few years back, we dissolved the plan. My mom wanted to simplify all her bills and not keep track of everything.
But it's not unusual for families to be on the same plans well into adulthood. It's no different than splitting streaming services, amazon accounts or anything else.
Kind of odd people are making fun of this. Miller's a shitheel for a thousand reasons, but this isn't really one of them.
I guess people really didn't know that splitting phone plans was a thing.

I was just commenting, because people didn't seem to know how common plan sharing is.
It's pretty common.

Raftergirl
(1,294 posts)that would be a no for us.
Almost everyone I know has their adult kids on their phone plans and most do not own their own business. Some also have their kids pay for their portion. We dont bother because its just not that much money to begin with.
