They didn't have a group plan when I signed up. Investigating, I find that I can consolidate the family's phones into a single account with a shared data pool. They also knock off $5 / month for the 2nd through 6th phone.
Except for billing convenience (and the $5 discount), there's not much advantage. You establish your "data budget" (say 3 gigabytes) and prepay for that amount. At the end of the month, they either bill you for any excess you use (@ $10 / gigabyte) or refund any amount you didn't use. Whether individual plans or a group plan, it's a wash; You pay for the amount of data used.
One nice feature of the group plan though, as the "owner" you can restrict usage by the sub-accounts.
