sharing minutes

[rh71]

for those with family share minutes, when you go to the website to check your minutes, doesn't it show minutes used for each phone regardless ? How do you know which are the in-family minutes used and which are not ? How would you know if you're about to go over your allowed minutes (since in-family minutes aren't supposed to be counted) ?

^ wow either I asked a good question or nobody has a share plan. 🙂

Depends on who provides your service. I'm with AT&T and it shows me how many minutes each phone has used.

Sprint used to only show accurate usage data for the main line, and left you to guess about the other shared lines. But now they break it down properly for all the lines.

duh, now I see it ... IN Calling Peak and IN Calling Off Peak.

Strange that when I had a share plan for a partial month last time, these fields weren't used... it was all lumped into peak / offpeak (not IN Calling section). This is VZW btw.
