Dito...

 

Hopefully its more than the leaked info last night on Sprint going hard into business accounts.

[joshuam]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be more than business account targeting. That isn't going to drive the turn around alone, that's for sure.

Something might be happening fast. Im listening to marcelo's town hall meeting and he is talking down framily for being to complicated. He keeps mentioning new simplified plans but isnt giving details. I also just found out stores are closing early Monday for mandatory training. Id guess that new plans are coming within a week.

Wow, that is fast!  Yeah, if people are having problems understanding the plans, then going more simple is probably a good idea.

Thank god something is finally being done. And training will definitely help. I am liking Marcelo already.

[Rocket87]

Just confirmed its training for plans but i don't have any info yet.

You also have to figure Masa and Marcelo are thinking there is an opportunity to get out there with the new plans ahead of the iphone 6 launch. With a lot of iphone 5 users (heck I still know plenty of people on the 4s) coming off contracts and looking to upgrade, there is a window here.

[joshuam]

Just speculation and wishes...(note: I'm on an 8 line framily plan now with several family members, we managed to merge them into one framily, got the right CSR apparently), but I really hope they add some tethering into the plans, as well as simplified ways to make the per line easier to understand. The framily was a good idea had it been done before market saturation, but now it's just hard to understand the purpose.

Along with new plans, we still have the "Take the Edge Off" event on Tuesday.

eh? I haven't been following S4GRU too closely due to other obligations..

[Johnner1999]

I think on the 19th Marcelo should come on stage wearing a camel or tan jacket with a yellow tshirt

[derrph]

And some custom yellow and black chucks 

[Rocket87]

Sprint used to have custom vans for employees. I wish i had got some before they discontinued them.

I completely agree with all of the comments from the members here, that is a really good article! The writer does make a lot of good points!

I agree!

 

I hope that new plans are rolled out! The Framily Plans does not work for me.

 

Two problems I personally have with the Framily Plans is the confusion, and the fact that with only two lines of service (one Android phone...mine, and one feature phone...my father's), the Framily Plans do not save me any money and would actually be more expensive for me. Also, I don't have a lot of family, and I refuse to recruit completely strangers.

While I do agree Framily is WAY too complicated, it does save you lots of money if you spend the time recruiting.

 

For instance, my Framily is 8/10 currently and it really wasn't that difficult to achieve. You just have to work with Sprint to merge existing customers, if you're wanting to go that route.

 

I'm very happy with Framily, now that we've gone through the work of getting everything setup.

 

Again, I do agree. Sprint just needs to make it easier overall. It is a great plan, just frustratingly over-complicated.

i wouldn't be surprised if they just drop the recruiting stuff and everybody goes to $25 a month with the options for $10 for 3 GB and $20 for unlimited.

Personally...I don't think it's complicated per se....I just think it's complicated for the average joe to comprehend....If you read how it works, it's not that hard to grasp, but the general population (Outside of S4GRU) Make it complicated...

[coorsleftfield]

If Sprint drops prices any more, I will probably make sense to finally move off SERO

When the Sprint reps don't even know all of the ins-and-outs of how Framily works and you have to call back over and over again to get things done correctly, it is over-complicated - by any standard.

This guy is about making moves and wasting no time doing so. I'm liking this guy by the day. I wonder what the meeting with apple was about concerning sprint???

This is all looking very good! I really hope he starts using his twitter account too.

 

Sounds like he has some great plans, and they are acting on them ASAP.
