T-Mobile has announced it will be rolling out a Family Allowances plan in August with the idea of letting parents more easily manage how their children use their wireless phones…and keep those pesky phone bills under control. The plan will enable parents to give children an upfront wireless allowance for telephone minutes, text messages, and downloads (like ringtones, wallpaper, and games) via an online tool. When a child or teen exceeds their allowance for a service, the service shuts off and T-Mobile sends the parent a note.
