Verizon Family Plans
Dover Beach
Anybody have a Verizon family plan for their cell phone? Anyone got an
educated guess about how much per month one phone with unlimited long
distance and texting would cost?
And if that family plan phone had been used for 5 years by a student
(high school and college) and if that phone bill had not been reimbursed
by the boy's father because he was too cavalier about his own parents'
generosity, and if that boy's father's wife had to guesstimate how much
to reimburse her passive-aggressive parents-in-law (who wouldn't name a
figure) how much should that seriously irritated wife pay? And if the
conversation between the boy's father and the grandparents went like
this:
Boy's Father: Well, how much should we pay?
Grandparents: Oh, it doesn't really matter. We pay everyone else's
phone bill, after all.
Boy's Father: I need a number.
Grandparents: Oh, well, we don't know.
Boy's Father's Wife: Here's a check for $500. I'll send more when I
get home.
How much more should the Boy's Father's Wife send, and how much
ammunition should she stock up on for when she goes on that final
mid-Western shooting spree?
Please remember to tell everyone that "She was a loner."

OMG thank you! So, another $100 ought to cover it. Seriously, Tim,

We are 5 on a Verizon family plan. The additional lines are about $10
a month, and unlimited texting is maybe another $10. Might be $5, but
I think that is for 500 messages.
The big if is how many minutes are being used. The plans go by number
of minutes. If the offspring uses a lot of minutes and he is racking
up the majority of them on the plan , that the overall monthly is high
to carry him. If he is typical of those his age, though, he talks
little and texts a lot.
We have an enormous number of minutes a whole bunch of separate phone
data plans (they are pricey) and unlimited texting and LD and it is
maybe $200 a month.

Well, when the Girlfriend was on the East Coast, there were many minutes
of actual talk expended, greatly to the Boy Child's dismay. Now that
Girlfriend is back in-state, it's back to texting. And there is a
15-year-old girl (who is not my problem) on the plan, and she talks and
texts incessantly. But I didn't spawn her, and I didn't marry anyone
who spawned her, so I refuse responsibility.
I mean, really, shouldn't people get over their mid-Western
passive-aggressiveness and say "hey, man, you owe us some money?" Okay,
maybe not. But I'm willing to pay a fair price. I just need to know
what it IS.

Sounds like the appropriate level is zero. I think the proper etiquette
for dealing with the passive form of aggressivity is the same as dealing
with a fart in polite company. No matter how loud and odorous, you
simply decline to notice. No matter how many subtle hints they drop,
studiously refuse to understand them, until they drop the facade of
passivity and just come out and say what they want.

I am happy the kids shell out some of it. I will pay basic for the
boys while they are still in school, as I did for their sister, but if
they want the texting and data stuff, it's theirs, and once they
graduate, like their sister, I don't mind if they are on they plan,
but they cough it all up.
They all have a credit card of mine, too, but it is great when I ask
them to run errands.

Why were they bitching about paying their grandson's cell phone bill if it
was $10 a month? Geez. I thought it was going to be like TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS or something - like I see on Judge Judy when people sue over cell
phone bills.
Why don't they just write a note in the kids birthday or Chirstmas card
saying "Happy Birthday! Grandma and Grandpa will pay your cell phone bill
again this year!" and be done with it.

I think they were expecting their son to reimburse them. The other
grandkids are the children of the "troubled" daughter, so that whole
branch of the family is just a money sink. I think they expected more
from my husband, and I kind of did too -- I thought he'd been dealing
with it.
He just has the attitude towards his parents that an 11-year-old has.

True. Mostly because folks in the Midwest *always* neglect that
all-important, "Bless your heart!" Without that phrase, you
completely lose out on the feeling that they're trying to donate your

Wait...I'm confused. I thoguht they bought the kid the cellphone
or the service? That would sound like a gift to me, not requiring
reimbursement.
Unless I'm misunderstanding it.

Five years ago, when Boy was in high school, we needed to get him a
phone. His grandparents said, "Oh, we have a family plan since Sue's
kids need phones too. That would probably be the cheapest way." I
believe my husband said something at the time about reimbursing them.
Then he just...didn't.
Over the years I've occasionally written them checks to cover some
expense incurred by the Boy, and they're *always* pleased. My husband
is always startled that they're pleased. Like, I asked my FIL to help
my stepson buy a couple of new tires for his car when the boy was 18
(the car has AWD and tires are a little tricky) and sent a check to
cover the cost of the tires. My husband seemed to think that his
parents wouldn't need to be reimbursed for the tires, but they and I
thought otherwise.

Well, I didn't have the energy to explain last night, because we were
dealing with a situation with The Dude's mom and dad. They both came
down with fevers and colds on Saturday, and his mom called at least
twelve times to let us know that even though felt like they were at
death's door, they were really fine, and that there was no need for us
to drive 50 miles just to catch whatever bug they had, and if they
really needed anything they would call their other son who lives only
a mile away even though he acts like it's the biggest imposition ever
just to drive through Wendy's and pick them up a baked potato, and I
guess Barbara's probably been too busy to call and check on us, and
this is what you have to look forward to when you get old.
Yes, we probably should have gone, but we are both just getting over
colds (and me a sinus/ear infection). T.D. was dispatched this
morning with homemade brownies, soup, and gatorade to make as his
first stop of the day. And oleo, they were out of oleo.

Well, at the time, his only checking account was a joint one with his

Well, he now knows more about his car and tires and so on, so he doesn't
need guidance so much. But he's finishing his senior year at Purdue
with a triple major in math, physics, and computer science, and he's in
the middle of studying for the GRE so he can go to grad school in
physics, and I really don't mind paying for tires if it keeps him from
wasting his time working at Burger King or something. Yeah, lots of
people don't share my perspective on that. Nevertheless, that's my
perspective.
When he goes to graduate school, we'll probably give him the occasional
handout. My parents did that for me in grad school. My husband's
parents didn't, much, but he had better fellowships than I did. Of
course if he winds up with a stipend of $20K per year or something, I'll
be a little less generous with the handouts.

Me too. When Paul's kids were little, I used to buy them school clothes,
then send them all to Paul's mothers house, along with all the receipts,
where she would make sure everything fit, then remove all the tags, destroy
the recipts and send the kids home with the clothes.
It only took one time of Paul's ex taking the clothes and returning them to
the store for the money for me to implement this plan.

Yes, it's nice if you can afford to help him out that way. I just had
the impression for some reason that he was out of school.

Nah, getting the Ph.D. in physics is as far as he's gotten. He thinks
he wants a research position with no teaching, but we all want things,

In some cases they do. A few years ago I signed for a Fed-Ex package
for my (now former) house-mate. It turned out to be a detailed phone
bill for his four teenaged sons. Several thousand SMS entries/son[1].
It didn't happen again.
