I have 3 phones and 3 plans on 2 carriers and want to combine
everything on one plan with 4 phone where minutes are shared. The
problem is this- I have one son who is away at school and he is in a
different state than me and my wife are. Will Cingular allow this or
not? What about T-Mobile (all our phones are unlocked)?

I have the same situation. Wife is 650 and I am 801. Had a family
plan with ATT with no problem and am now porting over to Cingular. So
far, no problems. I went to an ATT retail location initially (not a
reseller but a corp store). I think the corp stores have more strings
they can pull....

Did something similar on Cingular a month ago - had no problems (including
keeping the existing phone numbers). Your mileage may vary, primarily
depending on the competence of the staff at your local store - the ones I've
had in downtown Philly were completely incompetent for even simpler issues -
and the ones in suburbia were gods of the ether in comparison.

For Family Talk to be valid, all numbers must be from the same billing
region. You can't do FT with 3 phones from Chicago and one from LasVegas.
Area code isn't the main factor. Here we have 9 area codes in the same
billing system. My son is in school in Florida and he has a phone with 815
(N IL) area code. (Cuts down on calls from friends in Gatorland).
