Sprint matching tmobile $100 offer

Inching closer to just doing $45-50 unlimited for everybody...

 

I assume these plans won't be NVP discountable like Framily is? I'm also assuming that like T-Mobile there's no option to add tiered-data lines for <$40?

 

If you can go up to 10 lines, however, this will be a good plan for the odd Framily out there where everybody wants unlimited, and the account holder doesn't mind being liable for everybody's lines. Assuming no NVP before or after, per-line savings would range from $2-3 (7-10 line Framily's) to $10 for two-line households (who are currently better off doing separate $50/60 plans).

 

If they go ahead and match T-Mobile in offering 5GB of hotspot per line (and like T-Mo, allow anyone to switch to it), that would likely motivate many to consider switching out from Family Share, or abandoning their Framily's.

I wonder if ill be able to switch into one of these plans?  I am on the Everything Data 1500 plan currently.

I'm really looking forward to the day Sprint add's free tethering to their plans, 5GB would be perfect.

For their loyal customers yeh? I would've taken free tethering 5gb over unlimited minutes in a heart beat

They're probably going to try to get us off the subsidized plans and offer the new plan for current customers.

If they did that, I'd drop my framily in a heartbeat and get my wife and I on one of those plans. I really want the option to tether when I need to.

I'd settle for as little as 1GB. Sometimes, you just need data in a pinch.

Tethering is the main reason I switched from Everything Data to the new Data Share Pack.  40GB, 3 phones with tethering, and a tablet.  Plus I'm saving money in the process.  Love the deal!

Today Sprint is offering 2 smart phones for $100 additional lines $40. Unlimited everything. Details to follow

 

I hope they match both pricing and plan.  If just pricing, boooo!! Comes with tethering it will be a killer deal!

I'm trying to get my dad to switch to that but he seems uninterested. He is clinging on to Unlimited data for dear life which is funny considering he only uses 1GB each month. If he tries, he can hit 2GB. I'm 9 days into the billing period and I am at 1.83GB. My two aunts who are on this plan with us each use between 1 and 2GB each month.

Other employees are talking about it on the reddits..

 

http://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/2pazxv/sprint_to_match_tmobile_100_unlimited_plan/

 

and to quote from them...

On 12/11/14, T-Mobile announced their "best pricing ever" for families. Sprint is matching the offer to maintain our "Best Value in Wireless" promise to the wireless consumer.

Introducing the Family Unlimited Talk, Text and Data Plan, launching today, 12/14/14:

• 2 lines unlimited for $100

• Lines 3-10 are $40/month per line

• Maximum number of lines is 10

Customers can get a new phone with one of our leasing options, Sprint Easy Pay(SM) or pay full SRP, or bring their own device. It's that simple.

Sprint will even buy-out their contract or installment agreement, up to $350 per line via Visa® Prepaid Card.

Just a quick update, I can now confirm that existing customers should be able to switch to the Unlimited Family plan if they meet one of the above criteria. As far as the third criteria, upgrading is a valid choice if you are doing Easy Pay or leasing, NOT two-year agreements. Each line with a two-year agreement will tack on an additional $25/month charge for that line.

So no tiered data option(s) for secondary lines, no hotspot, and probably no NVP discounts.. meh. I'm thinking and hoping it'll take something slightly better than this (e.g. any amount of official tethering) to tempt my full Reddit Framily to break up. :fingers:

I was 10 days into my billing cycle and used 7 Gigs. Im nearing the end of our billing cycles and have used 15 gigs and still climbing. All from testing Sprint Spark.

So what is Sprint's equivalent to the 2 for $100 Unlimited offer?

 

I have a friend willing to move 3 lines. TMo is offering $140 for unlimited everything for those lines. Best I could do was a family share of 20GB on Sprint. Works fine for 2015, but goes to $145 in 2016. He feels might as well go TMo.

 

No matter how I try to package it, I can't get Sprint to meet or beat TMo's offer.

 

NOTE: He's on Verizon. The Sprint half off offer doesn't help him.

Is it that it doesn't cut his bill down enough because the offer does apply to Verizon.

I wonder what the idea to cancel it was due to. It wasn't as if it was marketed. It had to be specifically requested.

    • 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.  
    • Yeah, I probably see it through a Washington/Oregon market lens. And maybe a little Nebraska too.  These are the only places I have monitored Tmo overlay of USC closely. Tmo has already added service on 80% of the same towers that were unique to USC just 5 years ago around here.  The 20% left are either too close to an existing Tmo site, or, probably already on Tmo's plans to collocation.  But there is one USC site on the beach where our family likes to go that I am dying for Tmo to add service.  There won't be a lot of new coverage added here. But I have not done really any review in other USC areas.  But I definitely think it's a good move. Robert
    • Found Ericsson C-band+DoD in Brooklyn. What tipped me off was when I mapped a new eNB in this area on Halloween but I didn't see any permits for a new site in the area and the sectors I mapped matched the existing site that was there. Drove by it today and sure enough it's an Ericsson C-band + DoD site, likely one of the first in the city.  This is eNB 110340, formerly eNB 115257. — — — — — Also a T-Mobile new build in Queens. The permit for this one was submitted last year as a replacement for another monopole that got demolished nearby. It must've only recently got installed because it was offline when I drove by it.
