What are some good phone plans for a family of 3 in the USA?

I'm new to this smart phone buying. I prefer Apple iPhone but I'm open to others.

Virgin mobile

Purchase the phone you want up front, and pay in full. Yes, you can spread the cost or over your credit card - but PURCHASE IN FULL. Then seek a reputable service provider with NO contract, so you can come and go as things change. When we finished up a contract with ATT, we did a ton of research, and went to Consumer Cellular. Easy to understand, and you can adjust up and down every mouth if you need to. The main plan owner - you? - can monitor who is being greedy or wasteful at the expense of the other family members - and then restrict THEM for as long as you wish. DH and I have unlimited talk and text, and share 1 G of data, and with all fees, it costs us just under $50 a month for the 2 of us. The 3 of you could start with that - and see how things go. All the big phone companies use the same shared towers now, so unless you live in a truly remote area, your signal will be good. There are coverage maps all over the internet for you to check.

  • Which do you recommend? Iphone 5s Smart Plans or Iphone 5s Globe Plans? I'm confused. I've heard a lot of negative comments about globe internet speed and secret extra charges. But it seems that there are more recommendations to go for globe iphone plans. What's wrong with Smart? Which is more advisable for first timers in mobile plans?
