I think once you get past two or three smart phones the family plans start to be more reasonable. Even with the $40 prepaid plans, you are still looking at $160 for just the plans. Toss in phone costs and over the course of two years your savings aren't all that much.
For one or two phones...prepaid with your own phone out of pocket makes a lot more sense.
Carriers aren't dumb. They price things *just* competitive enough that most people don't care enough or are too lazy to really switch to save $20 a month and deal with the pre-paid hastles of porting numbers or dealing with buying their own devices out of pocket.
