On the same plan we've got 5 people at the same price. There's a way to remove subsidized phones from the plan which saved close to 20 dollars per line for us. The downside is flag ships now cost 600, and so we all use either something old and used or a moto g.

old? I bought an LG G3 like two months ago for 350 bucks, came with a case, 64GB sd card, and all the original packaging and stuff. Was also in mint contition (the back of the case was scratched up a bit, but i dont really care for cases)

Anecdotal i gues, but if you look around its quite easy to find new flagship phones for very cheap, especially right around when the new iphones come out and people are clamoring to trade up

Can't really call 350 bucks cheap. But yeah that's why used and hand me down devices are quite common in our family. (We have like three S3s that were all bought by someone else on contract and given to us free by someone upgrading.)

Moto G is my personal preference though I bump into the limitations of that a lot.
