The entire family has been on prepaid for years, my daughters text more than talk on theirs. I had a "short bus" phone and my wife's was a tad "smarter". The prepaid prices were going up and we found that with no more data than we use we would all go to T-Mobile which has a family plan with unlimited talk, text and Data (45 until 500MB and then 2G). The wife and I got Samsung S3's (cheap) while the girls got an iPhone 5 and S4 respectively. Mine is not just a smart phone, it's a smarter than me phone...I am still figuring it all out.

All that said, it has saved me some money as I was able to instantly price match an item at Best Buy. It has answered questions quickly and helped me find my way when I did not have our communal GPS with us. Still talk very rarely but I am getting used to sending texts, especially to schedule meetings and such.
