[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
I called today about the Framily plan as I'm out of contract right now. I was under the impression that the framily plan acted just like the web-site seems to lay it out...55 for me, 50 for the next person, 45 for third....so on and so on. It sounded pretty good since, once you're enrolled, you get a group id that you can give to people and when they sign up, they join your group.

So, here's what I actually found out when I called *2 and talked to a rep...

First off, there's no contracts, so you can have people join and leave at any time. However, when someone joins, it can take up to 2 months for the billing to be adjusted to show your "multiple people group savings". So basically, if two people join in January (they should be at $50/mth) but you might not see the savings until March. When person 3 joins in March, you might not see the additional savings until May/June. If one person drops, everyone's bill will increase to account for that loss of a person on the plan.

It's an additional $20/line for unlimited data.

Only people NOT currently in Sprint can join. When I brought up that the website says there's options to allow others in Sprint to join, the rep said that there have to be certain circumstances, which after going round and round, basically mean that whoever joins your group needs to be out of contract. If they're not, they'll have to pay an additional fee (a pro-rated fee??) based on the cost of their device.

There's no phones or upgrades or discounts or anything else when you go to the framily plans. If you want a new phone, you have to pay full retail price for it or you can do a 24 monthly payment for said new phone. Also, when you want to purchase a new phone, there's a deposit that must be paid in addition to the 24 monthly payments, which include monthly tax on the full cost of the device. I asked for an example, supposing I wanted the new S5 when/if it ever comes out at a price of $500. So my monthly bill would be 55/mth service (1 person) + 20/unlim data + 25 (500 phone charge + 45 in taxes divided by 24 months) plus an UndeterminedDeposit for switching to a new phone and a 15 upgrade fee. If you leave the framily plan, you owe a fully payment for rest of retail cost of phone.

Personally, it's not worth it for me. I want a new phone, and I have the two year discount to use. If I were to switch to the framily plan, I'd lose that discount, and most of the people I know that would join are in areas where sprint is piss-poor, or they're jumping ship for Tmobile. The rep I was talking to said that I could probably use my two year discount for a new phone THEN switch over to the framily plan. Trouble with that is that if after two years I'm still on it, and want to change phones, it'll be a heavy cost.

BTW - I was on the 450min+unlimited everything else plan which doesn't exist any more. So the rep moved me to the Unlimited minutes + Unlimited4LifeData for $80/mth (change to my bill was .01¢ increase). Didn't extend, didn't change contract, etc...just gave me unlimited minutes for a penny more per month.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ekz13:
Careful with this part. If I read it right, if you do that (get a new phone using your upgrade, which would put you into a 2yr contract), and THEN switch, I think they will charge you an additional 15/mo since you are on contract, for a max of 12 months, additional 180$ (15$ *12mo)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SimianJones:
Based on what you describe it seems like I'd better stay in the boat that I'm comfortable in. I didn't realize that they would no longer subsidize the cost of the phone. If the new HTC One 2014 is $650, and my wife and I both got one, then we would end up paying an additional $27/month each on top of the Framily plan. That sounds an awful lot like a $225/month arrangement, and that sucks.

Yeah so I'll keep my existing plan probably.

Thanks for the input.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rruss:
I actually just went through this yesterday I upgraded to the note 3 through easy pay and was switched to the framily plan the advantage of the framily plan is dependent on how many people you have on a line it goes down 5 dollar increments every person you add starting at 55 dollars plus 10 for 3 gig of data or 20 for unlimited the lowest you can pay is 20 dollars per line plus data if you have 5 people which is a GREAT deal BUT if your like me with only 1-2 people then there is not point in changing and if you have a discount it's is now applied to the data plan rather than the whole plan so you get less taken off HOWEVER this is such a new plan there is MASS confusion among sprint everyone will tell you something different I actually upgraded with easy pay switched to framily in the store and then called customer service and switched back to my everything data 450 that I was grandfathered into since 2009 some will say you can switch it and some will say you can't depends who you talk to*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Yeah. I agree that there's a lot of confusion about it. It does seem like it is only really worth it if you either don't want to upgrade phones with a discount OR you have a lot of ppl to join right off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AFSOC_Commando:
I converted my current contract to a FRAMILY and went from $151 a month after taxes to $130 since I have 2 lines and only kept mine on unlimited data. Wife uses under 500MB a month.

I then posted my Framily code and last 4 of my number on Fatwallet, Slickdeals and Framilycodes.com and had 10 people under my account within 12 hours and now have a bill of $70 per month plus taxes.

You can locate Framily codes on Ebay and craigslist as well for free.

I am expecting most people to stay for at least 2 years due to the fact that most people will finance their new equipment for 2 years and must pay it off immediately if they cancel service. Sort of an ETF if you will. I expect more service to go this route. All your MNVO's and T-Mobile use this model of paying for your own equipment non subsidized like the rest of the globe.

If you must swap phones regularly then you could swap every 6 months if you desire and recover some of your phone value on Swappa and buy your next device. The math does come out cheaper for many people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SimianJones:
I got this response from [MENTION=218907]sprint[/MENTION]Care on twitter:

If you currently receive an NVP discount of any kind, if you convert to Framily that discount only applies to data.

Previously, on one NVP discount could be applied to a shared account. Since they are now discounting only the data of the user that gets the discount I have asked if each Framily user could apply an NVP discount. When they respond I will update this thread.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vernici:
Hello everybody,

I have been browsing the internet and the xda forum for over 2 hours, but I still can't seem to find an answer to fix my problem. I have the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (international version).

My device was rooted over 2 months ago, and since about 3 or 4 weeks I use the stock rom again, but I still have SuperUser. A few times my device was frozen, but generally it works like a charm. Rarely I encounter a bootloop, but it always eventuallly manages to boot correctly. Except for today. I was doing nothing special with my device. It just started to reboot, but became stuck into a bootloop.

I have tried:

- pulling out the battery

- connecting with my PC

- starting download mode

- starting recovery mode

It all won't work. When I start download mode, I get the screen where I should push the volume UP button to continue and DOWN to restart. Pushing the volume UP button does not work, it just starts rebooting again. Also, getting to that screen, connecting with PC and then pushing UP does not work either. Releasing the buttons in different orders does also not work. The same holds for recovery mode; the Team Win logo appears for not even a second, and then my device starts rebooting again. I want to flash another kernel or use samsung kies to intialize software updates/reset (tools), but I just can't get it into download mode.

Moreover, I just noticed that it might also be the power button. I can also get to the continue/restart screen of dowload modus, only holding the home button and the volume down button, without pressing the power button. However, moving it (wricking with a paperclip etc.) does not have any effect on it.

What should I do?

ps: I am sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum.

pps: I completely pulled out the power on/off button, still no change

Its Up Again!!!!

Well what do you know. My phone started up after 6 days of playing dead. I tried everything in the book to get it to boot up, finally i decided to let it bootloop till it discharged to see if I could just charge it and try getting into download mode. Well after the discharge, plugged in the charger and it just kept blinking the battery icon without indication of charging. Got tired, pulled out the sim and sdcard with intention of taking it in for repairs to see if it was a hardware issue. When i got there was trying to demonstrate the problem, so put in the battery no sim or sdcard and she just booted up.

I have reflashed the rom, just to be sure is not some conflict of some sort and have restarted the phone a couple of times been using it for like the past 4 hours and she is still good.:victory:

notice regarding 14.2.A.0.290 firmware.

boot update is implemented in current setool2 version and it is uploaded on support area on 11.01.2014

boot update was tested by few guys, who experienced problems with xperia z1 phones after flashing ( null imei ) and their problem was fixed.

but i'm not yet tested flashing of dread 14.2.A.0.290 firmware,though it should be okay now, as the only problem was missing boot update procedure.

i'll wait for my c690x phone and will test this firmware personally.

in any way, i'm strongly advice to anyone redownload current setool2 version from support area,if setool2g.exe size NOT 3841536 bytes, at least to prevent fixed problem with null imei after flashing with xperia z1//xperia z ultra.

And if any brave soul ( or maybe very big phone distributor/seller ) will attempt to use 14.2.A.0.290 firmware with this fixup... well, it will be just great
