quote: Sorry Sam I do that all the time apparently. As robbo knew what I would be talking about it was easier to use abbreviated names as he would understand them. I was saying it would be interesting how it works as normal ctns (consumer telephone numbers) have their own bens (billing entity numbers) on the bans (billing account numbers) so my point was its unlikely that a family of say 5 people would be happy to all pay a fee to gain access to data when the chances are someone in the family may use more than someone else. As it stands now with billing systems, you can have one account, with multiple numbers on, and assign different payment info to each number through use of a ben. When it comes to a share plan, like the new VZW plans it's split into fees, so not entirely fair for usage reasons. | |

You do it deliberately because you think people won't understand them though. | |

I think the idea of having family plans is a good one although I can see when it involves childen that you could run into some problems. You almost need a family plan but still be able to restrict it per user otherwise son/daughter will spank it all on youtube | |

Be interesting to see how it takes off here as consumer ws normally ctns with separate bens on the bans. | |

Needed to happen a long time ago in the UK, data limits on mobile phones are a joke, when 4G finally comes I can see this being implemented here. | |

Verizon Wireless announced a fundamental change in the way it charges consumers for voice and data calls, a move that is likely to have far-reaching implications for the mobile industry. |
