Okay, so me and my grandma are planning on getting a family pack MobileMe account to save money instead of having two accounts. She has a trial account currently, so from what I understand is tomorrow I go buy the family pack box set, set up my account (which will be the master account), cancel her account (disable synching on her iPhone before hand), add her account under account options in my account, and viola.

Now here's my question:

Since we will both be on the same 'family pack,' will she be able to view my emails, find my iPhone, pictures, or anything else? And vice versa.

What I'm hoping is that even though they are in the same family pack, you will have to log in with each specific account (via password) to see mail, contacts, etc.

Thanks!

The accounts are entirely separate, so you should be good to go.

Keep in mind that the sub-accounts only get a couple of gigs of space. The master still gets the full 20GB. Each of the accounts has their own login, password, etc.

No need to cancel her trial account just add her email to your master account and she is good to go.
