You seem to be a vzw employee, so let me ask you:

I just took my NE2 and renewed my contract for another 2 years in November.
I have AC-I 400, but I rarely use more than 100 minutes. Now I am thinking
of switching to a Family Share plan.

1. Will this cause my contract to reset to 2 years from the date I switch?

2. Will I be forced to switch my own phone to AC-II? I'll understand if the
new one has to be on AC-II, but I want to keep mine on AC-I for now.

3. WHY will they force me to bump up to 700 minutes? As I said, I barely
use 100, and with the second person I still doubt we'd use more than 300.
Note that this won't cost me a mere $10 a month or even $20, but _$30_ per
month more than I pay now.

T-mobile pre paid. The cost is .10 a minute. One thousand minutes is $100
for the year.

Good point Ben, I guess it boils down to where you want to use the phone. At
100 minutes/month you can't be using it in that many places.

With VZW, I have signal almost everywhere I go. I just don't have that much
to say on the phone. The second phone would be used primarily on the far
north side of Chicago, right at the lakefront. Anybody know how good T-Mo's
signal is there?
