what do you mean?

It is widely rumoured if not confirmed (can't remember which) that soon framily will be the only plan available. Meaning that once your contract is up you will have to sign up for framily which means no phone subsidy. However, I believe they do monthly payments so it is similar to the phone subsidy if you pay the phone off over a longer period. Please anyone correct me if I've misrepresented anything.

Ah. Yes. Just read about it.

 

Interesting... my wife and I couple probably save a little bit on this plan, though I'd still want unlimited data.

 

Hmmm.... wonder if I should pull the trigger on a Note 3 now.

I wouldn't go with the note 3 at this point since it's not tri band.

I live in Green Bay, WI so that probably won't be an issue for a while.

 

The only things I'm corpus about with family:

 

1. Will I still be eligible for my employee discount through my employer?

 

2. Will I still be charged $10 on each line for Premium Data?

Milwaukee should be getting some tri band loving soon and Green Bay has a few 800 lte towers complete from I've heard. They're just not broadcasting.

 

Yes. It only comes off your data plan though.

And you have your choice of data package. 1gb is included. To go up to 3gb is another $10 and unlimited is $20 but that includes an annual upgrade.

Thanks. Yeah I might just enjoy my Nexus for the rest of the year then and get the Note 4 when it comes out. I doubt I'll be forced to switch to Framily between now and then.

Rumor has it within the next 3 months we will be switching to strictly framily. Not too many places can do 2 year contracts as it is already.

hmmm.... makes me wonder if I should switch ASAP then so I can get an upgrade a year from now

Not you're thinking with your dipstick.

You can always just switch the plan and if you go unlimited your upgrade will be a year from now. Then you won't have to buy a phone at this point in time.

If you sign a contract you will be waiting almost 2 years because thats the upgrade cycle on those plans or if you switch to framily after signing a new contract there is a $15 fee for phone subsidy since its not baked into the plan pricing.

So the only way to get annual upgrade is if you cost the unlimited add on?

Yep.

As far as the 30 day comment I wouldnt doubt it's that close but I haven't heard it personally. With how they've changed online and telesales so drastically in the last few weeks I believe it will happen soon.

So back to the actual topic of the phone, are there any major/lingering issues with the Note 3 or does it run like a champ?

 

I like my Nexus 5 but I now have to use my phone for work and my employer has a "no rooting" policy, so I'm getting pretty bored with stock Android and am getting a little hungry for both a larger screen and more features packed in.

 

Thanks for the insight!

I haven't seen the dropped call issue too much in my area. The phone seems really solid to me. For whatever reason my battery drains a lot faster than the one I had on att did which sucks. The only annoyance I have is getting used to the keyboard on such a big screen. I keep having to retype things due to me messing up.

thanks! I'm a big Swiftkey user so I should be good there.

 

I'll be picking it up this weekend.

My wifes battery will last days without charging,,, but you can pretty much guarantee it will talk 3+ calls to complete a conversation because the phone drops just about every call

Weird that it affects some users and not others.

Some users have reported dropped calls, garbled voice and poor reception. My GN3 exhibits none of the above. It's a rock solid device with 2+ days battery life with moderate use.

 

Bought the GN3 at full price because my LG G2 is such a POS.

 

I think you'll be very happy with the Sprint GN3. The Verizon GN3 has abysmal RF performance at best.

 

Good Luck.

I am also a SwiftKey user. I had the opportunity to pick it up for only 10 cents during a winter sale on Google Play. I recommend if there are apps you want, there are insane deals around Thanksgiving and Christmas time. SwiftKey is easy to use and you can adjust the size and location of the keyboard to match the natural way you hold your phone.

So I upgraded 2 lines to nexus 5, but the iPhone lines want to wait until the next version... So when they upgrade they would kick the whole plan into framily?

Honestly, I've been a big sprint fan

, but if they start doing the same tiered stuff as the other evil two then what keeps me on sprint?

Correct. I think it's been all but confirmed that framily is the new way the company is going.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
