Say hello to the Framily (inexpensive but potentially confusing new Sprint group plan pricing)

Recommended Posts

Let me start with a few things.

 

1. Im on mobile

2. Sorry for the shitty pics, if you dont like them too bad.

3. This is all new and confusing, so bare with me please.

4. One up program is dead. Replaced with easy pay.

 

 

What i know about framily plans.

 

1. Grouped lines get the discount.

2. Groups can be spread across multiple accounts.

3. 10 lines is the limit

4.Everyone gets 1 gb of data, can get 3 for $10 and unlimited for $20

5. You must pay msrp, sign up for easy pay or bring your own device.

6. Framily pricing is all based off no contract,

If you switch to framily and are under contract there is a $15 chargr because these plans do not include device subsidies.

 

What i know about easy pay.

1.no credit requirements to sign up, may have down payment if subprime.

2. Financing is for 24 months.

3. One year upgrade requires device paid off or turned in.

So this is off contract for family plans? If I have 5 lines, each line is $35 w/ 1GB data? Is it an extra $10/line for unlimited data?

 

Edit: I see now it's an additional $20/line for unlimited data. Not bad though if there's 7 to 10 lines.

Hmm, I am surprised that One Up is already game over.  The Framily offering, though, might be attractive to S4GRU members, since groups of up to 10 here could band together for lower monthly service charges.

If I did the math right... 

 

If you had 2 groups, each with 4 phones, either already upgraded or currently eligible (before the 10th)... Each line gets a new $600 phone with $100 down and pays sales tax. Each line would be $25 plus $21 a month (phone payment). I know I'd need the 3GB plan for an additional $10 bringing my monthly total to aprox $56 plus tax. 

 

Even when I say it out loud I still get confused.

I like it.  It allows you to bring an unsubsidized device to a new line without a new 2 year agreement.  Also, Sprint is accepting, even encouraging, that there already people banding together for family plans, who are not families.  Might as well make some money on them too.  This is a good plan.  But it is pretty confusing when you start adding in the whole Sprint Easy Pay part.

I like the bring your own device part but what it seems like is existing customers can't group up you can only group up with new customers if I understand this correctly.

Also, is there any info on the monthly voice/data roaming quotas?  Have those been cut back any further than they were with the new plans last year?

So If I wanted 2 lines with unlimited data it would be $50+$50+$20+$20 + cost of phones either one off or monthly (or BYOD)?

 

Seems to work a lot better for a greater number of lines but more lines = less likely to churn either voluntarily or involuntarily which makes sense. I think I need more family members, or at least more I can trust to pay their bills lol.

Friends + Family = Framily, I guess.... I like the plan (though I need to check the math), but hate the name.

 

Same here...when I first read the initial post I thought the guy either was a terrible speller or else had a typo in his autocorrect or Swiftkey database that kept propgating. doh.gif

The grouped Framily accounts can be separately liable.  That is a big plus.

 

Basically, this seems like a discount for knowing others who use Sprint and encouraging them to stay within the fold.

That makes a huge amount of sense! Very good idea.

Between my brother, sister, their spouses, and my mother I would be at 30 + unlimited + taxes, that wouldn't be bad.

This is a great question and one I'd like to know the answer to as well.

So, who wants to band their lines together? I'm in with 4 lines!

 

Yeah, staff is already in the midst of discussing S4GRU's policy on Framily.  We might like to set up a Framily thread where members can form groups of 7-10 to get the greatest monthly discount per line.  Expect an official decision relatively soon.

They are following the my way plans.100mb and 800 minutes of roaming.

 

Good info.  That is what I expected, though the thought crossed my mind that monthly roaming quotas might have been reduced even further to T-Mobile type levels.

That sounds like the private version of ILU's (Individual Liability User)'s on a corporate account.

    • Took advantage of a Boost deal to get an "unlimited" line for $11.50 for one month to test Dish's network. So far performance has been great. If they ever get around to deploying their 20MHz CBRS and 20MHz DoD, they would easily clear 1Gbps on a lot of sites. So far I've only dropped off of Dish's native network only once, in an underground garage. When it fell off, it switched to AT&T's network which had one bar of Band 12. When you run a test on AT&T, speeds weren't throttled but ping times were high at over 100ms compared to the 25-35ms pings on Dish's native network. My fastest test so far was inside Nathan's in Coney Island this evening. Pic of the site included. — — — — — Currently the only carrier outperforming them in my house is T-Mobile. They get faster speeds than AT&T and a stronger signal than Verizon.
    • https://ir.echostar.com/news-releases/news-release-details/echostar-corporation-announces-successful-completion-various They have pushed off debt for at least 6 years, except for 139 million. It is secured by spectrum.  They want to put this money towards completing their build out.  Hopefully this includes some midrange capacity.
    • Just revisiting the RCS issue and discussing another point I find odd.  Yeah, my family and close friends and most coworkers still mostly use whats app in our chats due to the odd RCS issues.   Some have Apple phones, some Samsung.  But using Facebook Messenger or Whats App handily eliminates those issues.   But the other thing I find odd is how all the information out there states that to use the Smart View app to mirror your phone to your TV that your TV and your phone have to be on the same wifi network.  That is 100 percent untrue.  I've historically not had wifi at home and only use it in our common areas in our community or occasionally at work.  But primarily I just use my phone for everything and do not have wifi at home.  It's because I haven't needed it.  I've been using all my Samsung phones for the better part of a decade now as my entertainment center because it's simple, effective, portable and absolutely does not require a wifi connection for my TV in order to cast all the content from my phone.  I'm not sure why it is stated that it is required.  The two devices - as we all no doubt know - create a wifi direct connection between the two devices in order for smart view to work, however, no general wifi network is required at all.  Again, I've been enjoying the feature for close to a decade but I find it odd that they say that you need wifi at home to use it.  Samsung television sets, Roku TV sets, LG TV sets (I cast to all of them at work regularly, again, sans wifi) and TCL TVs are all compatible.  There are likely more but these are the ones that I regularly screen mirror to, again, without the two devices being on the same network (this is separate from the notion of creating a wifi direct connection between the 2 in order to enable the service). This is the sole reason I only buy Samsung phones.   I tried a Pixel device before the Pixel 8 (which was the first to allow display out via wired connection for streaming) but it simply did not offer the same feature.   I wonder why they say this.  It's interesting if nothing else.
