Single old Framily line here. Same boat. I guess I understand the Amazon Prime thing holding people up, but way weirder and older plans existed than mine...

My current guess is they are going to migrate us without the ability to choose between the $0/$10/$20 add ons. Note that as long as you stayed on whatever you had been on they all became unlimited anyway under T-Mobile.

From what I've read, T-Mobile's backend might be even worse, given that it regularly goes down and doesn't allow retail transactions. I don't have any memory of Sprint's biller being like that. The migration is more intense on the receiving side; you just need to pull data from the old biller. I HAVE noticed that they changed how my old Framily plan displays its monthly cost on the Sprint side. Instead of a crossed out $55 with $25, it's a crossed out $75 with a $45 (to include the $20 unlimited data option). Maybe that is to help the process which will have to pull the data?

They actually changed the plan description of Sprint plans to explicitly include the benfit. Here's the description of my old Framily plan: Sprint Talk, Text, & Data Plan Plan includes Sprint Talk, Text, & Data Plan. $55 Minimum Monthly Charge. Unlimited Anytime Minutes. Unlimited Messaging. Nationwide Long Distance Included. America - Roaming Included. Includes 4 full-flight streaming sessions a year, plus, unlimited in-flight texting & 1 hour of streaming, where available. Call Waiting. Three-Way Calling Voicemail. MRC is not NVP discountable.

The old Framily plans have it too...

They have taken forever northwest of Pittsburgh near Ohio where T-Mobile barely existed There's still a spot on the interstate that requires a Sprint Keep tower to fill in a gap in coverage.

They went from incentivizing self-migration to banning it for imminent automatic migration to barely migrating anybody in a mere matter of months. For a merger that took years to finalize you'd have thought there was an actual plan that didn't suck so bad it had to be changed multiple times.

They really should have a self-service option for this; it would save a lot of time.

Neither on my previous device post-TNX (LG v60) or my current (OnePlus 9 Pro) can I access e911 address settings.

I think on TNX *everyone* had to update their E911 addresses that way. There must have been something amiss prior to 2022. I TNX-ed in Nov 2021 (LG v60) but in Jan 2022 got a text from 6772 asking me to make sure my E911 was updated. After completing this task, SOC TMOVOWIFI was added to the line. (XP Wi-Fi calling T-Mobile). This changed nothing for my user experience; Wi-Fi Calling worked the same before and after.

I'm guessing my plan won't be part of the early migrations, but I'm holding on to this price point for dear life:

This. I just upgraded to the Oneplus 9 Pro 5G and the experience was about as suboptimal as possible for everyone involved. 1.) The Sprint Warehouse ran out of this phone so long ago it's completely deleted from the Sprint web store. This meant the only way to buy it was in store, which means I got to pay the $30 fee for the privilege of transferring all my data at an inconvenient time. 2.) The Sprint tablet they use was buggy on the trade in, so the very nice girl had to go over to the register to enter the IMEI of the of the turn in device for credits. Also, the virtual Sprint register wouldn't print receipts properly, so the girl had to make sure I was ok with email only. 3.) On the the Sprint biller (unlike the T-Mobile biller) credits go away if you pay off early, so I'm rather stuck until the migration. I also note the Sprint biller is only partially aware what this phone is (no photo, inconsistently named in the web UI, and "Tablet-MBB Global Data Service" is offered as an add on) 4.) They probably could get more revenue from me after the migration; I'd gladly upgrade to Max if my line discounts (from old Framily) transfer over like they are doing for old T-Mobile plans...

What I've witnessed is that spending time in a Sprint Keep area eventually causes the device to permanently (?) change behavior. 311260 and ignoring Sprint site completely at first, but once it decides to use 311490 it stays there and will use Sprint towers quite liberally. Also, I've noticed that a TNX sim is far less aggressive in forcing 5G and instead makes sure you are connected to something that actually works; I haven't had to cycle airplane mode at all since the switch.

My tablet shows "Provider: T-Mobile/Sprint B41 (311490)" with "Use Alternate PLMN ID" turned on in General Settings.
