Chris, we're talking about per line here. 1500 min. Everything data-family for 4 lines is $169.97 - 27% ($45.90) = $124.07 per line that's $31.02 + TEP & tax per line with unlimited calling to any mobile network, unlimited text, picture, and video messaging, and unlimited data plus nights and weekends starting at 7 to call land lines and 1500 mins for the day. With your taxes coming to under $30 that's an amazing deal divided by 4 people. That 27% makes a big difference when it's applied to a family pan.
If everyone found 4 other friends they could pay $189.96 - 27% ($51.29) = $138.67 per line that's $27.73 + tax. Know a lot of people on Metro who are used to not paying phone insurance and most have the $45 a month plan.
So if you can pull this of, you have
$27.73 - Your share of the bill with corp discount
$10 - EVO coolness fee
$7 - TEP
$8 - Your share of the taxes (probably less)
_________
less than $52.73 - Grand total
That sounds great, though it would be some work collecting from friends. Can I join your plan, Chris? I have an excellent payment record.

I would go down to a lower price plan but the minutes used on my account is so random each month...sometimes 1200, sometimes just 400....I can't risk paying the overage charges....and the taxes yeah thats not to bad..but still compared to other things like having TV and Internet and the taxes only being $5-10 on the bill vs what we pay for cell phones is crazy...
