I've seen it, or similar ones, in the past. I'll
keep an eye out in the next couple of days and
get back to you..

It was on the website when I just checked it. It's called Family Time
1000.

There's a big catch- no free nights and weekends. The $59 plan has 700
anytime, unlimited N&W. All the family plans have unlimited mobile-to-
mobile.

I too see it now. Either I was just out of it when I first checked the
site or they hadn't updated the plans properly here.

I see that; I get the plan you list above and probably wouldn't switch
just for the extra 300 anytime. That said, I think that while nights &
weekends lure people in, most people probably don't use anywhere near
the bulk of their monthly minutes that way unless they use their
cellular as a replacement for their landline. So, in a way, the free
nights & weekends aren't as critical as people think if they really
examined their usage.

I agree completely- however, it's an important feature to some people so
I thought I should point it out.
