Cingular family plans to 5 people?
Somewhere in the back of my poor, befuddled brain I remember Cingular saying they had plans to increase the number of people on a family plan from 4 to 5. Has anyone else heard of this or am I on drugs again?

starting february 11th, five lines can share a bucket of minutes. woo hoo!

The new plans start on Feb 14 and you will be able to have 5 lines on one family talk plan.

but make sure to remember, you have to migrate off of your old family talk plan, you can't simply add lines to your old one, they have to all be the same,so you must change your existing lines to the newer plan same as the newest lines you add.

Thank you all so much for your help. There are days when this site really makes my life go easier.

be cautious, it could re-commit your contract.

Well thats only fair, i mean you want the new benefits, even if its a new benefits of 5 lines, so yeah, thats fair otherwise you can have 2 seperate family plans.but if want new benefit, new contract renewal.

i wasn't bitching about it, i was just letting people know that it would re-commint the contract.

Um, actually, if you have an old FT plan, you CAN add a 5th line to it. You do NOT have to change to a new rate plan.
...
Not with the new plan lists info they gave us last night, since they have to have the same version, not old plan with new add on, as that will cause billing errors, so they have to same new version to get the benefits

Not according to the info we got today from Corporate... But I'll let them know what others are being told and make sure what info is correct.

Thats where our stuff came from too, corp. apparently, the mixing of old and new lines caused a billing error, which makes snese,since we ran into that too, when we changed up the shared plans, benefits ,and others, they(TSD) had to go in and change the lines maually to bbe in sync, and prevent future billing errors

Why is nobody mentioning the fact that the additional lines will be $19.99. Rate plan hike baby!
...
I didn't mention it because I didn't know until I came into tonight. Lots of really angry calls tonight!
