Author Topic: Sprint Framily (Read 50963 times)

Just to elaborate on that,

I had a sprint business plan & was trying to join a framily plan, however when i called up sprint to join i was told that i have to downgrade to a personal plan & then switch to the framily plan.
After hearing that i went over to the sprint store in Boro Park where the rep told me that's nonsense & instantly joined me to an existing framily account. Now i must stress that i was out of contract, the rep told me that those in contract who are looking to switch can do so but have to open a new framily plan.

Thanks for posting. One of my lines is still under contract. Darn.

Depends on your usage, we found that no one on my family plan was using more than a GB a month, and for most phones, even if you divide the cost into 24 monthly payments it still comes out cheaper.

Does that chesbon work for an iPhone?
(You can get with sprint upgrade for around $200 last I checked..)

Iphone 5s is $650 on sprint.com, divide that into 24=$27+$25=$53 Still a bit cheaper than the $55 for a family plan and worth it if there are some of the members who don't need a new phone.

Interesting, Thanks!

And if you don't buy an iphone or the NEWEST phone it's for sure saving a lot. For example You can buy an HTC one for well under $400 right now. And a Nexus 5.
The windows phones are even cheaper ( thought not as great. )
It can potentially save you a lot of money.

Any older phones recommended? Is an older iPhone so bad?

If you like iPhones go for it. They tend to cost the most. Like I said there are plenty of good phones to pick up for a decent price. HTC One, Nexus 5, Moto X, Windows Ativ S Neo, Windows HTC 8x, Galaxy s3 etc.
