I saw this post and was like "What?"
Just a lurker and financial contributor here. Don't have too much to say.
All hail my ancient Qualcomm QCP-2700! It was a tank....

So Sprint absolutely does not allow more than 10 Framily members?
Nope. Last one in after 10 gets kicked off.

Dslreports is now covering this. I also sent a note to Ars Technica about it.

Well, they just updated their unlocking policy again...
http://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html
I love this... who's writing this crap (in bold)? Really? No technological process available? It's called "Ask Apple to unlock it." Apple themselves has admitted the carriers control the process for asking Apple to unlock the device. Wow.
I've been told by another carrier that Sprint needs to unlock my SIM slot in order to use my phone on the other carrier's network.
For eligible devices, Sprint will unlock the SIM slot, to the extent that a device SIM slot is capable of being unlocked. It is important to note that not all devices are capable of being unlocked, often because of the manufacturers' device designs, and that even for those devices capable of being unlocked, not all device functionality may be capable of being unlocked. Specifically, devices manufactured with a SIM slot within the past three years (including, but not limited to, all Apple iPhone devices), cannot be unlocked to accept a different domestic carrier's SIM for use on another domestic carrier's network. Sprint has no technological process available to do this. In accordance with Sprint's voluntary commitment contained within CTIA's Consumer Code for Wireless Service (“Unlocking Commitment”), Sprint is working to ensure that all devices developed and launched on or after February 11, 2015 are capable of being unlocked domestically. -
Yeah.. with the CSIM swapping and MEID locking and the MEID having to be in inventory... if you get past that, it looks like the Sprint model has all the bands Verizon does plus, the Sprint one has bands 18 (is this one even used in the US?) and 26 (SMR).
- Model A1533 (CDMA) (Verizon)*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25)
- Model A1453 (CDMA) (Sprint): CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26)

I do notice the account notices I get about people joining or leaving are somewhat behind the number of Framily members noted in MySprint. Their system must have serious back end synchronization issues.
-
I've been confirmed as like #9 on someone's plan, so I'm Ok now. Hit a local LTE tower yesterday and boy, it was nice. I think I'm going to like this $35 with 3GB, but might go to the $45 for unlimited when they light up LTE.

Has anyone tried a Sprint iphone 5S sim yet in a Verizon iphone 5S? :-)

Same thing happened to my Framily account.
I am the originator of the account and one day mine looked the same with 11 total lines.
Sprint sent one an e-mail advising them that they were kicked out.
Fortunately, that guy was cool about it.
Mav.
Well, it appears to have been me that was kicked out; I got the dreaded note. However, I think I'm in a new one now which only had 8 when I joined, so I'm safe

Heh... I'm not the oldest one. I am curious though. When I joined the Framily via my employers Sprint site, it said I was #9 when I ordered.
-
So is one going to be kicked off? If so, which one?
-
What happened here??

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.

+1. I'm using the Ting MVNO right now with an iPhone 4S, but am looking for the 3GB of data.. so if I can hop on somewhere for $35/mo, that'd be awesome.

Sprint still tells me that they have no ability to unlock devices it sells.
If anyone hears about the implementation about the CTIA order, please post it.
There are six principles:
1) Disclosure - Must post requirements for unlocking for both prepaid and postpaid on their website
2) Postpaid unlocking policy
3) Prepaid unlocking policy
4) Notice - notifying customers when their device is eligible for unlocking, and automatically unlock the device when it becomes eligible for unlocking (!?).
5) Response time - two day turnaround
6) Deployed personnel unlocking policy
They are supposed to implement three of the above principles within 3 months of the CTIA document (December 12th, so that means by March 12th). The rest need to be implemented within 12 months of the CTIA document (December 12th).

Any updates on this policy yet? Would be nice to get a Sprint iPhone 4S unlocked formally by the carrier :-)
Does anyone know if Apple will replaced an unlocked Sprint phone with another?

I just tried this very one and wasted $97 on it on a Sprint 4S. Weighing my options. I bought one for my 4S and one for my 5S (and Sprint had already unlocked both for international; I needed a domestic unlock.) The auction itself says "SPRINT USA iPhone 6+ 6 5S 5C 5 4S Apple Permanent Factory Unlock Service".
Here's some snippets from the guy when challenged when the 4S unlock didn't work. I even sent him a video of me removing the Sprint SIM and putting a T-Mobile SIM in and it saying "SIM not valid". (I even restored in iTunes).
I said:
I got this back from him:
I sent him a picture of my Sprint international unlocked 5S with an Orange SIM in it, running on T-Mobile (About screen said "EE" for carrier bundle, 8.1.2 iOS and the serial number of the phone). Also, I told him this:
I got this back:
I'm currently contemplating on how to word this to Paypal. I'm sure that he's probably sold more than 200+ of these things, and if you look in the auction, nowhere anywhere does it say "this unlock will not work on domestic". I know that's Sprint's policy, but if this guy is giving false hope to those looking for a domestic unlock by whatever method he's using, he really needs to get straightened out.
