Default Phone usage

For personal use, what would be the moderate normal mins usage of phone in your mind? I have someone on my plan who constantly use his phone like 1700 min per month. I am telling him to get his own, but he kept coming up with some excuse. Since I use my phone for business also,I sort of lost the reality of how much mins per month normal people use. Can you give me some idea?

WOW. Are family is in our network so there mins dont count towards are bill but we use about 250 mins average and thats talking to family as well. So 1700 he is doing nothing but talking. Thats over 28 hours of phone time and way to much. If get him off the plan.

Thought you said you were a Cougar, Yumi, not a Sugar Mama!

Family share with 700 min between us and I've never gotten an alert. That's with using my personal cell for work too (far more reliable & powerful than the bricks they gave us)

He got nothing better to do than talking to his mom. That was a baby sitting job I took on instead of cougaring. I should not feel sorry for him when he tells me his sad story.

I use almost 500 monthly but I use my phone for business as well. My most called business contacts are part of "my circle" so they don't count toward my mins of use...

yeah 1700 is ridic thats almost an hour a day. I dont know any dudes that spend an hour a day on the phone just for personal reasons, thats absurd. So unless hes only making business calls you should def cut him off or cut back the plan.
