Just be sure you consider your minutes and text volumes you expect to add to your family's current volumes and roll-over minutes. Consider increasing the minutes or add a text plan if you're a heavy texter.
If you had your own account you'd have a minutes and data plan to pay monthly, so going on your family's plan is a better move - just understand your minutes and text volumes.

Based on my understanding of his post, he doesn't actually want the service, he wants to buy the phone outright, and most likely unlock it to use on a different carrier (TMO) or send overseas. This route is technically cheaper than buying one outright, just more work involved.
