    Just call again. I merged two framily plans without any issue...even with all lines still under contract.

    Sorry to get off topic. But if you add it for a day...you pay a prorated amount of the monthly cost, but how is the data calculated...is it prorated too? One days worth of 1GB for a month isn't much data. Or am I thinking about that wrong?

    I must say, at $50 we were talking yesterday this was a great plan. But even at $60 this is still a fantastic plan! I'm really impressed. This doesn't mess up their "family share plan" offers like I was thinking it might at $50. And this is still significantly cheaper than any other post paid carriers.

    I don't know if the $50 plan is reasonable or not...it's $10 more per line than the 20GB and 4 device fees....and you get unlimited data. But on the flip side, I really like the thought of a $50 unlimited plan to undercut the pink guys by a substantial amount!

    I merged two separate Sprint accounts that had all lines under contract to Framily...was not an issue at all. I think internally they were told to not enforce the rule...but maybe I just got lucky. So maybe they will be relaxed about the new plans as well.

    That's old judging by the fine print...$10 4G tax, etc.

    White Marsh area of I-95 definitely got some band 26 LTE love! http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/937804711 In a moving vehicle (not driving!)...while streaming music on Spotify (not a constant data I dont think)...last week the 3G was unusable! This is a great example of what NV is accomplishing!

    I agree that it is very difficult. But Verizon Wireless did it for years with the "Can you hear me now?" commercials. And it worked very well! People that know nothing about cellular technology at all knew Verizon had a good network, because they could do what they wanted to do most...make phone calls. Verizon Wireless had issues when data services launched, because nobody else advertised "broadband like speeds on EVDO"...they were all using 3G. People understood 3G better, and Verizon ultimately changed their message. The same thing applies here...Sprint needs to be doing a better job of telling users that they have rebuilt their network, fewer dropped calls, faster data, etc.

    I don't know how much more about the future Sprint should really be saying...but I do think they should do a better job of explaining "America's Newest Network". What does that mean for a consumer? What did they do to make it "America's Newest Network"? That is missing form current ads.

    The old Sprint has always talked about what's coming. They need to have what's coming before they talk alot more about it.

    This is a great point. I highlighted the "unlimited guarantee" a couple pages back for those of us on MyWay/Framily w/ unlimited add-on, we get to keep unlimited.

    The 3G sites in Baltimore that are also broadcasting LTE have great 3G speeds now. I can get 1.5Mbps or better on 3G sites that are upgraded.
  13. joshuam
    I also meant to say that to give up unlimited, it would take pricing in addition to hotspot/no overages. Otherwise for my usage today, I'm quite happy with the unlimited add-on at $20
  14. joshuam
    I can confirm that the one tower in White Marsh is broadcasting band 25/26 LTE now! And 3G speeds are SIGNIFICANTLY improved. Along I-95 through White Marsh on legacy towers I was getting failed speedtests, or very very slow speedtests (calls were fine though). But now I'm seeing 15-20Mbps LTE, and if I disable LTE, I pulled 1.5Mbps 3G speeds!

    But having the "bucket" of data would cost me significantly more than I pay with framily.
  16. joshuam
    I agree. I'm on an 8 line framily plan so no benefit for me to switch (I pay for 2 of the lines, but all 8 of us are actually family). My wife is fine with the 1GB of data (she's a stay at home mom, so on wifi most of the time). I pay for unlimited for myself. The only thing that'll get me to switch is no overages and hotspot included.

    Interesting...maybe a mistake? Maybe done on purpose? But Marcelo Claure 'favorited' this tweet (which really is negative about Sprint right now...) @Maximus1901: @sprint why don't you throttle instead of charging #overages #ItsANewDayForData #sprintlikehell @JohnLegere @marceloclaure #greedy
  18. joshuam
    Interesting. Thanks! I read that dang page several times and kept missing that...lol. So around $15 per GB. Kind of steep, but it's what the other guys charge. Framily overages are so cheap it's fine for the occasional overage.
  19. joshuam
    These new Sprint plans have brought out the best and worst of us ????
  20. joshuam
    I have not been able to find overage rates for the new plan yet? 1 cent per MB like framily?
  21. joshuam
    A little peak into what's coming? Sprints official twitter account tweeted this earlier!
  22. joshuam
    I think the Sprint stock drop today is not to do with margins, and more to do with the uncertainty about the future. Sprint is losing customers (hopefully this helps offset those loses). Nothing is unexpected though, they knew people would flock during NV, and it is turning around. But the uncertainty is driving some folks to sell Sprint stock today. It'll come back if they can post some numbers. Even if margins are lower today, it's a limited time offer anyways.
  23. joshuam
    Great analysis! Thanks for taking the time. I agree overall it looks bad for Sprint as a headline...but to say Sprint isn't better today is a lie. In my region (central MD), it is a gazillion times better now than it was even earlier this year! Not done...but much better!

    I honestly can't remember the last time I dropped a call with Sprint. I used to frequently have dropped called with Verizon in my area (i'm sure it's improved, i've been with Sprint for several years now). But switching to Sprint for me at the time, was a big improvement. 3G speeds were still decent compared to Verizon at the time, and I had access to WiMax once that launched (Baltimore was the first market). I agree on the name change, but I'm not sure SoftBank is the best name. Could be confusing as to why a "bank" owns a cellular carrier. Remember, we gotta keep in simple for the stupid people...lol
  25. joshuam
    Wasn't sure where to discuss this, but wanted to post it somewhere other than the Softbank/new plan thread. http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/special-report-2014-1h-us Sprint is dead last now...bad timing!
