Has anyone switched to the framily plan yet? It seems like its just a tactic to get people to give up unlimited data. Whats your opinions.

Last time I was in the Sprint Store (Dec last year) I was flat out told to keep my unlimited re-up every 2yrs plan. They said I had better options. This may have been before the Family but how much data do you share and if everybody has LTE seems like data would go pretty quick

You don't share any individual data for everyone.
Don't you only get 1gb of data on the new family plan?

You don't lose unlimited data. You keep it or you can switch to 1GB for free. Those were the options I got when I switched to the Note 3

Yeah, I switched to it last week, it was only logical since I'm home 99% of the time hehe, didnt need all the extra data/charges
Is framily plan still worth eventho they don't offer us special device price for 2-year upgrade?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I've been wondering about these new plans. There's some plan where you pay off your phone but doesn't seem you get any break on the plan. Then there's an unlimited everything where the plan is 50 and data 30 but you only get a corporate discount on the plan so I'd pay more. I'm on the 450 minutes talk and unlimited text and data plan right now but I'm weighing up my options. If I switch to smart pay I can upgrade now or just wait till my normal upgrade in November. The M8 looks so good though! lol

Its not really special. There isn't much difference between paying $200 upfront + $400 over two years vs $25x24 months. You can save money if you just buy a nexus once every year ( or two years, heck keep it for 3 snapdragon 800 will still be good in 3 years I think)

Are you paying for hot spot?? Sprint can see if you're using a wifi tether app and that violates the TOS so that's probably why you got the letter.
That's a lot of ggggggbs.
I guess as long as you didn't tether I would agree with you.

So all this time I thought that Straight Talk was ATT strictly.. til my bro in law just told me I can purchase a T mobile Sim Card and use it.
http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...cards&zip=32707&market=GSM5&locale=en&lang=EN
45$, unlimited text mins and web, no contract. Does anyone have this Straight Talk plan with a t mobile sim card?
If so, what kind of Web Speeds do they offer? Is it T mobiles Hspa 42.2 mbps 4g or what?
Also is it truly unlimited web? or do they throttle after certain GB of use?

They just don't specifically tell you when.. But when they do feel like you've used too much data they just throttle you. That's an email from them.

I've been using Straight Talk with the T-Mobile compatible sim for about 4 months now and I've never been throttled. I regularly use around 6-8gb of data a month and have never had any trouble. Speeds are exactly on par with what you get on T-Mobile.
However, there are rumblings of Straight Talk throttling on the AT&T compatible sim card.

I believe you gotta pay full retail price I'm not sure?
Sent from my Goonified Paranoid Jelly Droid Incredible 2
Goon is right, you will have to pay full retail for the phone if you don't want to renew your contract. Contract renewal = limited data.
Also if you have another account with an upgrade you could use that and switch phones. Or acquire the phone via 3rd party and activate it.

Yes, you can but only if you buy a phone off contract. Meaning you cant buy a new phone from Verizon for $200 and stay on unlimited data. You would either have to buy a new phone retail ($700) or buy a used LTE phone.
Can get cheaper on Craigslist and eBay !

Truly unlimited means that you are not disconnected from the internet but your download speed will be slowed to about 10kb/s therefore you still have internet and tmobile doesn't violate your contract

That rep was misinformed. Their truly unlimited plan is truly unlimited. They have another "unlimited" plan for 10 GB -- and they will throttle you afterward.
I agree that the rep is misinformed. Log into your t-mobile account, you can go up to 9999gb.
