5 lines on T-Mobile, with the main one (mine) having unlimited data: $54 per month. Employee plan.
USA, Tmobile prepaid $30/month
100 minutes call
unlimited text message
unlimited data with first 5GB LTE speed
This plan is not available any more, I believe. One nice thing about this is that you can usually get at least a little bit of discount on T-mobile refill card online, so the monthly cost is usually slightly under $30. Another nice thing about this plan is that video streaming does not count towards data usage if you turn on "Binge on", which essentially limits speed to the video streaming data. You can turn this feature off to gain full speed if you wish but it will count towards the 5GB LTE data.
There are other cheaper prepaid plans that offer similar or more data/calls. But it is the only one that offers Wi-Fi calling and call on supported iCloud connected device. I kept this plan mainly because of this feature that allows me to take and make calls on the Mac.

Xfinity (they use Verizons network) pay by the gig plan... My bill is usually $12 as I am often connected to Wifi or the Xfinity hotspots... Last month my bill was zero as I used less than the 100mb they give for free and I am on track for a zero bill again this month..
Phone and texting are free and I pay $12 per GB... They also have an unlimited data plan for $45.

AT&T's Multi-Line Discount and Auto Pay.
I used the calculator on their site to see the breakdown.

I will be adding another line (same plan as the above lines) here shortly making it $140 for 5 lines.
Thanks, I was adding 1 line at time and couldn't get it down. Moving back to AT&T after being on the Spring BYOD free plan for the past 7 months. Enough is enough with them. It's worth what you pay for and I am paying $18.88/month for four lines, but the service continues to get worse.

Did you have to pay $50 per line upfront? I can't seem to get the cart to reflect the multi line discount.
You set up your main line as Multi-Line and then invite your other phone lines onto your plan. The discounts will apply automatically.
I had been paying $176 for the 4 lines Unlimited Talk/Text 20GB shared data. Now that Prepaid has WIFI Calling/VOLTE and a lot of other features that were previously only Postpaid I made the jump.
I would think that you would be eligible for the extra 8 GB Promo data. If you were even interested in the 8 GB plan to start.

I did mine in the store. I only had 1 charge for the first month on all lines.
Looking at their Multi-Line Facts Page I think you would pay for each and then get credit on your main line. In the store they just charged me one. Sorry, I can't be more help on that one.

Will members joining my PREPAID Multi-Line mid-term be pro-rated?
We pro-rate the data allowance and monthly plan charge based on the number of days remaining in the Multi-Line 30-day term.
What happens to my balance if I join a PREPAID Multi-Line account?
The account owner receives a partial credit for any unused days of the prior monthly plan.
$25. Visible unlimited data on Verizon. I went from cricket’s $35 5gb plan and it’s awesome. Tethering comes with it. It’s pretty unreal deal.
Somewhere around $230 per month with AT&T.
Three unlimited data, cal, text lines and two Apple Watches. (One AW is free for customer loyalty.)
Also includes monthly iPhone payments for two lines. One will fall off taking it to $205 per month.
Includes $25 per month discount on DirecTV and free HBO.

No unfortunately it’s not possible with their plans. But it’s nuts to pay this much for data on your phone and it’s download speed 28mbps fast!
Dang. That’s awesome though will definitely keep an eye on them to see if they add that support.
