I signed a Sprint contract the day before Verizon came out with this promotion...coming from T-Mobile, horrible service around the house. so I got 12 days left to decide if Sprint is better, otherwise, I am thinking of just switching to Verizon with my 4 lines.
Make stuff happen.

depends on what you're getting with sprint & how good their service is in your area

I'm talking about the $90 unlimited up to five lines. But you must get phones with the plan which means you're locked in for 18-24 months paying for the phone and ultimately have to pay for service too. The sprint $90 promotion applies to all monthly bills till March 31 2018 and after it will go up... So essentially I'm stuck with Sprint, but they may just have a promotion by then that I can continue with them. otherwise I'll deal with the 11 months left with their CS... Anyone ever had experience with Sprint CS? Are they lucrative and flexible enough like Verizon? TIA

Here's a summary of Verizon's unlimited plan caveats:

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

you should still be able to pay with credit card before they take the $ from your acoount, as long as the auto pay is on you should get the discount

Switched over 18 lines.  According to my rep (guy we always work with) the $20 lines stand as is.
Only limitation over my old plan is that each subaccount can only have 10 lines,  so I have to have two $110 lines.
Also tablets went from $10 to $20.
Net additional cost is $80 per month,  which I'll make up in overage,  and it frees up a lot of data anxiety.

What's the credit card thing you're talking about?

Can you explain this? Meaning there is an additional $20 fee per line?

I'm editing this post to simply say to defer to Dans article.
I didn't have the head to get into the nitty-gritty,  to have the yishuv hadass of unlimited for basically what I'm paying now,  was kedai.

I don't see where the article mentions the $20 line access fee...

Absolutely not.
Sprint in my area is blazing fast, and the $20 unlimited add on is truly unlimited, with no slow downs, even with a FoxFi connected heavy use laptop (well over 22GB at times).
