Sprint's reworked Framily plans bring more data for less through 2015

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/sprints-reworked-framily-plans-bring-more-data-less-through-2015' title="Sprint's reworked Framily plans bring more data for less through 2015"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/06/sprint_store_sign_low_hero.jpg?itok=eWGD_OTZ' />[/url]</p> <p>Sprint has announced its new Family Share Pack plans that replaces the company's Framily (http://www.imore.com/sprint-introduces-new-framily-plan) plans, and the new plans offer more data for less starting on August 22. According to the Now Network carrier, Sprint (http://www.imore.com/sprint)'s plans will offer customers as much as twice the amount of data to comparable plans from rivals.</p> <!--break--> <p>That means that a family of four will get 20 GB of data, instead of 10 GB from AT&amp;T and Verizon, on the $160 plan.</p> <p>Additionally, through 2015, Sprint is launching a promotional plan where users get 20 GB of shared data across all their lines, up to 10 lines for a family, for $100. Additionally, as an added bonus, customers will also get an additional 2 GB of data per line for up to ten lines.</p> <p>Under this plan, a customer with 10 lines will see a total of 40 GB of data that they can share through 2015 with the included 2 GB of added data per line for $100. For the same price, customer who have 4 lines will see 28 GB of data with the 2 GB promotion per line.</p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/sprints-reworked-framily-plans-bring-more-data-less-through-2015' title="Sprint's reworked Framily plans bring more data for less through 2015"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2014/08/sprint-family-pack.jpg?itok=mFoY1O2K' />[/url]</p> <p>Though these plans seem cheap, Sprint Easy Pay users who don't buy subsidized phones will have to add $15 per phone for plans with the data plans of 20 GB or higher and $40 per line for users who opt to get subsidized phones.</p> <p>So, what this means is that for a family plan of 10, provided you pay full price for all your phones and don't take any device subsidies, you're looking at the base $100, plus $15 for each of the ten lines, bringing your total to $250 per month. For that price, you'll see 40 GB of promotional data through 2015 along with unlimited talk and text. If you take subsidies, you're looking at a bill of $500 per month for ten lines.</p> <p>Sprint says that this makes the plans a full $60 cheaper than some of its rivals and doubles the data.</p> <p>If you're enticed and are looking to switch to Sprint, the carrier says that it will pay up to $350 per line in early termination fees from your current carrier.</p> <p>What do you think of Sprint's new plan under its new CEO?</p> <p>Source: Sprint (http://www.sprint.com/landings/datashare/index.html?INTCID=AB:HERO:081814:FamilySharePack)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26412"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3da07d95/sc/28/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
