Ok, I want to make sure I understand Mobile Share billing correctly and verify it is definitely not worth it in my situation.

My sister and I are on a family plan with two others (four lines total, two dumb, two smart), 25% discount. We both have the $30 3GB plan.

My understanding of the math is, since we do not go over our data allotment, the Mobile Share is definitely not worth our time if calculated correctly below...

Current:
Separate 3GB plans: $30 + $30 = $60

Other Options (w/ tethering):
Separate 5GB plans: ($50 + $50) * 75% = $75

Mobile Share:
4GB Share: $70 base * 75% + $40 2nd line = $92.50
6GB Share: $90 base * 75% + $35 2nd line = $102.50

This looks right?

I take it Mobile Share is intended for those who really need to tether (we don't) or have many, many lines.

Ok, didn't catch that Mobile Share includes talk/text. Knowing that, I'll have to take this to a spreadsheet to figure out all the various scenarios, since the two lesser lines muck it up.

Thanks!
