This week’s Frugal Family shows you no-contract family cell phone plans that allow you the freedom to talk, message, text, upload pictures and video at a monthly price that won’t have unexpected surprise charges on the monthly bill.
For someone shopping for the best family cell phone plan, the choices can be mind boggling. It’s easy to choose a plan you think will work for your family and then get many unexpected add-on charges on your monthly bill for things like extra minutes, roaming charges, internet usage messaging, pictures and videos.

And while Dad may want a basic phone, Mom may use her tablet regularly while the kids depend on Twitter …
