No discounts on new plans.

Sprint has a new landing webpage for the new plans.... http://www.sprint.com/newday

I was wondering the time too...couldn't find it on google.

This phone is CHEAP! $239 OFF CONTRACT....thats $10/month on easy pay! This is an impressive price point!

I haven't seen anywhere about overages? Are they prices at $0.01/MB like the Framily plans (so basically $10/GB roughly)?

Mid level. It is a Snapdragon 400 quad core. It should be perfectly fine.

Snapdragon 400 is dual core...definitely no better than "mid level" for mid-2014. Should be cheaper though, which is what the target for this should be. Cheaper (decent) phone with the new $100 plan might win some folks over.

Oops! Sprint released the Fact sheet for the Sharp Aquos Crystal early as well as the App Pass.

Same Specs as the SoftBank version.

Edit: This is my 9300th post on this site.

They took it down already...lol.

I think I remember reading that this Sharp phone is a low tier phone (low end processor at least)...is that still correct?

Don't forget the "unlimited guarantee" that those of is on the My Way or even Framily with unlimited add-on have.

Question: Does this mean no new lines for framily? I was actually going to add one more line soon, it'll be a bummer if I can't.

Apparently more to come by Friday? Or maybe he's just referring to everything except the $100 offer.

Alright...obviously many of us have opinions (myself included obviously). I really am starting to see the benefit of these plans, but I really wish they didn't move without making ALL their announcements. They should have had everything in order first (single lines, network announcements, etc). Not this piecemeal stuff.

Overall this plan is a good value for some folks. I know some folks on old ATT family plans paying over $250 a month for 4 lines...this plan would be excellent for them. I have 8 family members on a framily plan, many of which don't use much data (I pay $20 for unlimited). So for mine and my wife's lines, I'm paying $70...it's great. I'm not super satisfied with Sprint coverage, but it's a good value for us.

Try out tmobile and instead of 3G you'll have edge or no signal at all.

That's why I'm still a Sprint customer ????

According to the OpenSignal app on my iPhone 5s...my drive is 45 miles to work from north east MD through Baltimore into Anne Arundel county, and I'm at 50% of my time today is on 3G. According to Sprint LTE maps, entire area has LTE ????

Interesting article discussing Sprint going after high ARPU customers.

Joshuam is wearing pink under his faded yellow shirt. He has an iPhone 4s and wonders why the network hasn't improved.

I actually have an iPhone 5s...guess my profile is outdated...haha. I've had every iphone available on Sprint ????

Been a Sprint customer for years...still experience awful customer service (likely a problem for all wireless carriers), terrible LTE coverage around Baltimore (home is great, 25Mbps consonantly, but I have wifi at home). I'm just getting tired of being disappointed by Sprint.

I'm more interested in what att and vz does. Seem like these plans are targeting their customers.

I doubt either does anything. Not right away at least. Sprint doesn't have the network to compete right now.

I'm betting magenta matches this tomorrow.

He's right though. This was not epic. Not disruptive at all. Sprint doesn't have the network to compete with big red and blue.

$15 per device fee...plan sucks. Sprint is dead, switch to Tmobile...lol jk

But seriously...not that impressed.

So is this essentially vzw and att, but just double the data? I highly doubt it will be $10 a line. Is the 20Gb $100 and then a fee per line?

 

If that is the case, I don't think it will be that much of a game changer as the whole problem with Sprints imagine was slow data. I don't think keeping the same price and just doubling the data would have the same effect as keeping the same amount of data but dropping the price so it is cheaper than their rivals.

$100 for upto 10 lines. You have 3 lines that use 20GB of data, $100. You have 10 lines that use only 10GB avg, $100. This is a GREAT plan.

That's more uncarrier than the uncarrier.

Holy disruptive wireless carrier batman!

I could see that being popular and a differentiator...not particularly impressive to me. But I'm hopeful we will see a lot of good movement from Sprint (wifi calling, network improvements sped up, etc).

Well that is interesting...different approach than we have been speculating. Very interesting indeed!

I think it's more than that. Maybe even an announcement that Sprint will support wifi calling on iOS 8 too? (Wishful thinking)

iOS8 wifi calling is almost a guarantee I think. No reason not to support that, especially once iOS8 is official.

Is there a technical limit of going 3G to LTE that isn't there LTE to 3G? Or it is simply good network management or even device limitation? Hopefully once Sprint finishes up a couple more towers on I-95 through Baltimore, it won't matter anymore :-)

I can't believe there are no leaks yet!
