My parents have a basic family plan with 2 lines and want to add me. They know it's a $9.99 monthly fee but aren't sure how much they will have to pay for the phone and if there are any other charges involved? I don't necessarily need a data plan or anything like that (no iPhone) but would love one of the "free" or 99 cent touchscreen phones. Could I get one of those by adding a line? Thanks in advance,
Sincerly

As long as the phone is not considered a smart phone, you would not need a data plan. Android, windows 7 and iPhones would require the data plan. YOu may also want to look at texting plans for the family plan. They run $30/month if it is not already on there. The $9.99/month is correct for just adding voice.

Also, when you add a line to a family plan, you do qualify for the reduced price for any of the phones AT&T offers. In other words, yes you can get one of those "free" or 99 cent touchscreen phones.
