Current scenario:
We have 3 smart phones (2 iPhone 4, 1 Moto G) on AT&T's prepaid "go" plans, one plan per phone. There is no data, but unlimited text, and I think 600 voice minutes per. Wife has a T-Mobile flip phone on their prepaid plan, and that costs us something like $100 a year. T-Mobile coverage is pretty bad in our area.
What w'd like:
Looking to get all 4 phones onto AT&T's 10 GB mobile share plan. I realize we'd have to buy wife a smart phone (terms of plan). I get a corp discount so the total monthly will be $141 plus taxes and fees comes out to a little over $160/mo according to retail clerk.
Q1: Is this plan decent, or are there any catches?
Q2: Need advice on managing the data usage. Terms indicate that we'd get charged for data overage, so is there a way to cap usage of each phone? With two kids, I'd like to prevent them from hogging all the data so we're not left with squat. If possible, is this done at the phone level or the account level? Also, are there settings within iOS and Android that tells the device "use wi-fi whenever possible over 3G"?
Thanks!
