$6,000 is not accurate.
A family will probably sign up for the family plan.
(cheapest plan)
$80 + $29 + $29 = $138 / month
$138 x 24 months = $3312
(3) iphones - $499 x 3 = $1497
Total: $4809
I doubt all three people would want iPhones and most people already have cell phone plans. So the real cost is just the incremental.
In my case, we have a 4 line family plan with TMO, swiching would cost me only an additional $10 / month. We would only get one iPhone and can used our old unlocked tmo phones on AT&T, or get cheap regular phones.
