can be such pains in the ass!!! 
My youngest sister & I had always had separate cell phone accounts. Little more than a year ago, she asked if we could go together & do a family plan with shared minutes. She insisted her boyfriend HAD to have a cell phone, he really didn't want one, but she would not let it go.
After some checking & a few stipulations from me, I agreed. My stipulations were I had to be able to keep the "New Every Two" option & I had to be able to maintain my text messaging capabilities. I could as the primary account holder, so we set up.
We picked a plan with 700 shared minutes on it. I figured if we ever came close to exceeding that many minutes it would be me because I travel for work & use my cell alot when I do.
She went over our minutes last month & is on pace to probably exceed the minutes this month too. At 700 minutes, that is essentially 350 for each of us. Last month, she burned through 503 minutes of our 700.
No one in my family seems to understand or care why I am upset about this. They are all like... as long as she pays the overage charges why does it matter.
My point is, she is sucking up minutes that are essentially mine!!! While I have only come close to using my full allocation a few times, the point is she is putting us over & there is no reason for it. She has a home phone use that one & stop burning up our **** cell minutes!!!!
