- I can always add you as a user on our shared plan if you really want to get notifications.

The Martels:
You can avoid extra charges on your shared plan.
Wondering who’s the boss of your shared cell phone plan? Under the rules of the Wireless Code, if you have a family or shared plans, the account holder is the one who can consent to data overage and data roaming charges that go beyond established caps. So if you’re the account holder, you’re the boss.
Now let’s say you want to share this responsibility with someone else on your plan. No problem. As the account holder, you’re allowed to authorize other users to consent to additional charges on your family or shared plan.
No need for a battle of the bosses when there are rules in place under the Wireless Code that can help you manage and avoid extra charges. Find out more about how the Wireless Code benefits you.
