Hi ThinkMobile readers - all the great mobile apps, devices and reviews are now a part of mediabistro's SocialTimes.com. Thanks for reading!

T-Mobile USA has announced the availability of Family Allowances, a new feature that lets parents manage how and when their kids use their T-Mobile phones and services, according to the News Market.

“Using a simple online tool that includes an auto shut-off notification feature, parents can manage their children’s monthly wireless allowance to help eliminate surprise overages.”

This is kind of similar to the old Cingular Rollover Minutes setup in effect if not in technique, since it aims to reduce the number of surprises you get when you open your bill.
