A standard F & F family plan might save you some money.
If you can get them to give you a new plan that keeps your FIMF(I did),
starts your evening minutes at 7pm, and also gives you free vision and PCS
to PCS, then that would be a good retention plan, though some people on here
will undoubtedly somehow manage to do better.
They will usually give you a $150 rebate if you have had a phone for at
least 18 mo.

If you don't renew the current plans will continue as they are.
I don't think you'll be offered anything better than what you have now,
but it never hurts to ask.

Possibly, unless something else looks better to you. Just keep in mind that
SPCS will not change anything about your current plan while you maintain
service after the agreement expires.

One other benefit to add to Floyd's post is that you can add the F&C America
option to the plan for $5, so that all the phones on the account can roam,
if necessary at no additional charge.
