Why can't I add Family Base to my plan?

[csummers0321]

I have tried unsuccessfully many times to add Family Base to my plan. I have blocked numbers from calling/texting my son's phone, but it doesn't really help when he just calls them. I need to be able to block him from calling these people as well. He has a Motorola Droid 4 and I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. I am told that the phones are compatible, but for some reason, I can't add this feature. I continue to get the same error message every time. What can I do?

I'd love to help you with adding this feature csummers0321!

What error message are you getting when you try to add?

Thank you,

The message I get says, "We are sorry. Your request wasn't completed. Please try again later."

Thanks for the clarification, csummers0321! We would love to get FamilyBase set up on your account. Are you attempting to add it from your computer?

I have tried adding it from both the computer and the app.

Csummers0321,

This is very strange to hear! We may need to work a little magic on our end to get FamilyBase added. I've requested to follow you. Please accept, follow me back, and then use these steps http://vz.to/1cOOY6O to send me a Direct Message.

I had the same issue and finally got ahold of someone who knew what they were telling me. I had the lowest data package of 250MB. I found out that you have to have at least 500MB to get the family base. If you have more than 250MB, then that is not a question I can help with. I ended up talking to technical support to get answers versus a regular customer service rep
