Read a bit upthread, I was talking about switching from Sprint to T-mobile...

Ah, fair enough. Still, there are some cheap basic smartphones these days. Picked up a Transform ultra for my wife around $30, and there are cheaper phones like the Optimus S for less than $20!

I'm personally looking into something more powerful and recent in the $75-$150 range (which includes the S3, Optimus G and LTEVO).

No.

Ding Ding Ding!
Not that it can't be done if you're in contract but it's not so simple....

What's the quickest way to join someone's framily plan, Web? Phone? Sprint store?

In general store seems best but if there are no special circumstances (still in contract etc.) there should be no reason you shouldn't be able to do it through chat or by phone.

I'm in a sprint contract right now. But want to join anyone who has room for 2 lines. If you want to assist me in switching to your plan. Let me know

Just so i can understand, once you have the plan all is well until someone cancels and then you end paying more?

Correct, unless you have 8 or more lines then it stays at $25.

Apologies, I didn't realize. After Rivky asked, I wondered why no one else had done it yet. Shame on me for not looking.

smee123, yes- if enough people leave the group that it is now less than 7 people, prices will start to go up for each person. The good news is that you can have up to 10 people per group, so you'll have some padding in case anyone decides they need to jump ship. Also, since this plan has no contract, if everyone jumps ship you can too!

Ok so basically what I've come to understand is that even if I have Sprint I CAN join someone else's Framily plan but only if they made a new plan and didn't have Sprint before.

That being said - Does anyone here have 3 Spots available for a plan that is NEW?

Even if you're under contract?

Not sure. No one said boo to the fact I was under contract still. But it wouldn't let them add my numbers to an existing account. Though both the in store rep and phone rep both told me I can only join an existing Framily from Sprint if it's a new Framily and not an account that already had Sprint.
Waiting for someone that has 3 spots on a NEW Framily to see if I can join.

I was in a sprint store yesterday to service a phone and asked about using an upgrade (Im eligible) , he said they cant do that anymore since they only offer Sprint Framily plans in the store and can only offer phones through the "Sprint Easy Pay" which works with the Framily plan.

I told him I just saw online the option was still there, he said stores cant offer it anymore and eventually only Framily plans will be available even online, so there wont be an option anymore to get a subsidized upgrade. He thinks this will totally switch over within the next few months.

Doed anyone have any more info about this, is it correct or just a misinformed rep?

Ok the Framily plan is making me discombobulated. I'm reading and hearing different things. Even the Sprint reps themselves gave different facts. Bottom line if I'm on an existing plan but got the phone upgrade before January I could make a framily plan and they'll waive the fifteen dollars fee. But I read somewhere that the courtesy waive will expire by April. Is that true? Also can two existing accounts join under the same terms like mine with the waive if they're in contract??

Anyone here with spots available from a NEW framily plan? Still looking for 3 spots.

What's your source that it needs to be new to add existing members?
