That's true, though on family plans, usually the minutes are not used
equally by all the phones.

Bottom line is that users need to look at their particular needs and
think just how much a few dollars difference is going to make in the big
picture, i.e a $50 savings on a carrier that can't hold a signal on a
handset in your home or office negates ANY savings.
In my case:
Phone #1 averages 600 min/month (over 2 yr period)
Phone #2 zero (only used for M2M with phone #1)
Phone #3 predicted to average < 300 min per month
Only phone #1 needs the $15-$20 data plan for occasional testing and
backup. I already have a Sprint Pantech data card stuck inside a D-Link
DIR-450 unit.
As for the laptop tethered access...
Lots of time we're at a customer's site and need to look back into their
servers from the outside world internet cloud. If they have an on-site
hosted server, you can't see it from their computers.
Here at the office, I used to have to use a dial up modem to look back
at my web servers; but now have several PCs at my various POPs that I
can remote into and look back.
