Hello fellow xda'ers! I hope this topic will be allowed here as I've seen it in other device forums. I'd like this thread to be a place for framily plan users to possibly recruit more members to their framily and save money. Simply share your framily id, last name and last four digits of your wireless number. I currently have two lines and would love to get more and start saving some money.

go to a sprint store and ask them to add people to your framily plan i did and they filled it up in a week (from 3)
Or use reddit. There's a subreddit already in place and plans are filling up withing a few hours. I'm about to switch to sprint and I'm using reddit for the framily Id

everything I can seem to find says you only get 1gb of data with framily plans. Is this true? Can I still choose unlimited Data?
If I am only getting 1gb of data, and I don't plan on using sprint easy pay, sounds like Framily might NOT be the best option at least for my family of users. Any feedback?

I don't know what you pay now but if you get on a full Framily it is $25 a line for unlimited voice and text and 1gb of data. . Add $10 for 3gb of data or $20 for unlimited. . I have unlimited so it's $45 a month before taxes or anything else I add.
Do you still have the $10 add-on fee for a "Premium" device? Taking the base bill to $45?

For me it depends on what ends up happening to the USA version...if they make changes to it I will either have to buy an international version or wait for something else.

For me using unlimited dumbphone data for half the price on the international version easily outweighs getting a subbed phone on 2 gigs a month.
Where's the option for "I'm waiting for the price to drop in a few months"?

You can use the $15 non smartphone unlimited data plan with the international version. This will work because at&t won't have the imei of the international version in their system. Obviously don't tell this to at&t, just say you have a dumb phone and need to use data with it. They will ask the imei of the dumbphone, just give the sgs3 imei.

Does that really work? I mean it would be easy to buy any cheap international phone and give that imei and save a lot of money in data plans. Somehow I think they will notice the high data usage. Just sounds too good.

Yes, I am using the i9100 on the non smartphone data plan. I gave AT&T the imei of my old Moto V180 and it shows up when I log in onto my AT&T account. I hope it stays like this forever but in reality, I believe it's only a matter of time before AT&T catches on
15 dollars for unlimited data, or combine with 20 dollar unlimited texting + 10 unlimited data it's not bad either. I burn through 5-6 gigs of month and have been for the past 8 months since I bought the i9100.

can i port my number from red pocket...get this plan with att monthly...what plan exactly is it with them...great info
Before everyone flips out on me... give me a second. So I told my dad he was going to lose his unlimited data if he didn't upgrade his phone by today. Which of course he ends up waiting until today to do. Come to find out that he had to upgrade before today in order to keep his unlimited data. We are on a family share plan and only me and my dad have unlimited data, but my brother and sister, who are also on it, have the 2GB data cap.
So I told him to try to transfer his upgrade to one of them and get the subsidized price and just upgrade it on his line. So he tries to pre-order the SGSIII on my brother's line and this pops up.
"The existing plan Nationwide Account Level Talk & Text Family Share 2000, is not compatible with the new device." So it either chooses new individual plan or new share voice and data plan.
What's confusing though is that under smartphone data packages, it doesn't have the new family data plan pricing. It still has 2 GB for $30, 5GB for $50, and 10GB for $80 and under plan shares summary on the left side where the totals are, it does say "Nationwide Account Level Talk & Text Family Share 2000". So I'm confused as F*CK right now and I want my dad to keep his unlimited for at least another 2 years, but I also don't want to lose mine and get screwed over with this new family data share plan. Not to mention that fact that I'm not sure whether they are actually forcing us into this new data share plan or not.
Thoughts? Can anyone who has a family plan with an upgrade vouch?
There is no more grandfathering it on on subsidized phones. You have to purchase the phone out right to keep unlimited now. No upgrading from 3G to 4G and keeping unlimited either I believe.
Put him on an individual account and then merge the two later on. The account change probably wouldnt happen til you activated the phone on your brothers account any ways...They effed up my rezound upgrade/account and that happened. Easy fix :3
Edit: that may not work due to their crap share accounts...

Also, I would like to add that if the family data share plans aren't forced there should be no reason why an unlimited data line couldn't transfer their upgrade to a 2 GB plan. Have that person upgrade and upgrade the line on the unlimited person's line. Herego unlimited data being kept with an unsubsidized Price.

So you decided to go for it too.
I pre-ordered mine back when we where talking on the mik.
I don't even really want the thing, I absolutely LOVE my rezounds but I figured I might as well grab the last subsidized phone available.
Op simple fix. If it isn't broken don't fix it! People really need to stop buying new phones. If you have unlimited, on any plan/network/phone please don't upgrade.
And I also agree with the screen being way to big and hassle.
Not to be off point here... But my HTCG2 ....grandfather'd from G1...to G2(HSPDA+)....2yrs still running...Running (ROOTED) ROM PORTED ISC4.4 my 4g speed is fast (check my post's for non believers) for proof of batt stats but I get close too 2days on normal usage...point is They didn't do an upgrade to the G2(*GOOGLE DEV PHONE) yet... and ur dad wants an S3? ....third one already and they keep making them to get ppl to *Want* to upgrade to get the better contracts out the way.

Well everyone's completely missing the point of my post. I'm trying to figure out if Verizon is indeed trying to force us into these new data share plans if you're on a family plan.

When you add the line and you take one of their phones at the discounted price it will force you to lose the unlimited. If you pay full retail on the new phone you then can ask to keep your unlimited.

Be wary of following advice from the stores that's all I have to say about that. If you currently just have a single line plan and turn it into a family plan they will give you one of the new share everything plans. Unless you're currently on one of the older family plans and you're under 5 lines I believe you could add one and retain the unlimited data on your line. It would just add another montly access charge 9.99 + cost of data plan and other features.
The last time I talked to a CSR they told me that if I change anything that my plan changes. I asked to add tether and they told me I'd lose my unlimited. Don't know how true it is since everyone hears something different.

When it comes to the VZW CSRs you'll get a different answer everytime you call in. Since there are so many centers and a majority of them are outsourced no one is held accountable for what they say.
Manager at verizon store in my town told me I can get upgrade still keep my unlimited data, they would just put upgrade on one of lines that has 2 basic phones and I be in another 2 year's with unlimited data nothing changes. I'm planning to get DNA this Friday. Just have to find employee that willing to help u out.

You can change to a shared plan and keep your unlimited data but it will be expensive. If you choose the legacy Nationwide Share Talk and Text plans, you can keep unlimited data on your line ONLY, and still add as many lines as you want. Again, it will be expensive.
I used to be on the 450 minute plan with unlimited text and data...was about 95 a month after tax. I changed to the Nationwide 1400 plan (100.00), plus unlimited text (29.99), kept my unlimited data (29.99), added 2gb for my wife's line (30.00), and there is a 9.99 access charge per line. Add in insurance, my Slacker subscription, and tax, and i am paying about $185 for 2 lines.
You would definitely save money by going to a Share Everything plan.
so i just flash a note 2 to verizon prepaid its amazing for 50 dollars UNLIMITED you cant get a better deal than that..
amazing speed i was shock that hd youtube videos dont buffer when playing
i did speed test 1,9 to 2.5 mbs enough for fast loading webpages and watching video i also was able to do skype and ovoo
There shouldn't be much needed in the way of flashing. Root the phone, add in APN data for the prepaid carrier you're using, put in your SIM, and then profit. The phone already works on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US if you have a SIM, you just need to be able to add APN info, which you can't by default.

Its only for 3g eh?
Interesting, considering you can't make phone calls without the sim either.

If you weren't being a jerk and talking down to people I might not have reported it. At any rate, this isn't an advertisement forum for your job especially now that it is deemed illegal.

Anybody wanna start a pool so we can start getting some savings?
I've been with Sprint for going on 10 years. I just activated my Group ID and would like to share it so we can get our $25/lines.

You can opt for 3gb ($10) or unlimited ($20)
and with 7 people it would be $25+20=$45 base for your plan--not including taxes or extra services like insurance.
So for unlimited everything it would be 45$ plus taxes and fees?

Yup. once we reached 7 people, maximum savings would kick in.
It starts off as $55 for a single person, and each person added after that drops the bill for everyone by $5, until the maximum savings of $30 were met, bringing the total per person down to $25, which includes unlimited talk and text, with 1GB of included data. $10 would bring it up to 3GB and $20 unlimited. So, add any of those prices onto the base of $25 and you'll get your total bill before taxes.
The catch is that you get no subsidized phones and would either have to buy them at full retail, pay for a new phone with monthly installments (this option is available every 12/mo and only if you are on the $20 unlimited data add-on), or bring your own sprint device (ebay,swappa,whatever)
Ok. So how do I get out of my contract? And merge with you...

Isnt 7-10 lines $25 a line before any add-ons? Add unlimited data $20 each line seems like cut and dry $45 a month per line. There is no premium data charge on the Framly plan also.

That's the beauty of it, it requires no getting out of contract. Everyone is billed separately and it's simply a Group ID that you ask Sprint to join you up with.
Nothing changes on your account except for your inclusion to the Group ID and switch over to the "Framily Plan" title. Other than that, everything else on your account remains the same, including any discounts you may receive (if i recall correctly). I get a 25% discount on my account so maybe it will apply to all lines if other discounts won't.
You can exit the Group ID (Framily Plan) at any time, and it is a no contract service. meaning it is more along the lines of "prepaid," since no contracts are used.
If you're currently in a contract, you will continue to ride out your contract while on Framily.
If anybody would like to join, my ID is "I00243971Et" case sensitive (the first character is a capital i). Sprint should explain in detail what will happen and give you the chance to agree or disagree. From what I was told when I activated my Group ID(Framily), it seems like a great incentive to get people to join and get some extra money off your bill per month.

So what do they do use our current devices or do we have an option to purchase a new one? I'm thinkinf doing this cause I could use a second line for business and I want a Galaxy Mega or an LG Flex
So how exactly do I join
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Freeza if I have a family plan and all lines are eligible for Framily I wonder if I could move them all to the plan? I have 4 lines of service now. Before taxes and fees I pay $209.97 for all 4 w/unlimited data but after checking my bills I dont need unlimited for the other 3 lines. Just mine cause I use around 5 gigs a month.
**Edit** And I am assuming there is regular qualifying involved as well? Two of my lines are my kids so not sure how that would work.

Current devices. Becoming a part of Framily removes the ability to get subsidized phones. I would suggest using any available upgrades before joining Framily.

You have to call Sprint and ask to be added to a Group ID on the Framily Plan. They will tell you if you are eligible.

Sprint seems to be more willing to work with people who have multiple lines or have been with them for some time. So, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.
With 4 people you'd be paying only slightly less than you are now at $160 for all 4 lines, then your unlimited would be $20 more, then any extra add-ons. This is all assuming you were getting your own Group ID instead of joining another. I'm not sure what the the qualifying process is. But since your lines are all tied to one account, I don't see there being any problem with any of the lines.
I'll do it tonight

So it almost seems like Sprint is trying to get completely away from low cost phones like all the other carriers have, even though Mr CEO once stated publicly that they would never do that. Eventually they will be like the others who offer "$0 down" (with an 800 credit score) phones.
