[Q] Sprint Family Plans - What To Do?

[issafram]

Currently my family has four lines total on a family plan with Sprint. It is an older plan. It is called the "Power Pack Family 700". It has 700 shared minutes included with free nights after 6 P.M. It has an added package called "Unlimited 2-Way Text Messages" where ALL my lines get unlimited text messaging for a fee of $20.00 per month extra (only charged on one line). Picture mail however, is not free. It cost 20 cents per picture (sending and receiving).

There is also a 23% Chrysler discount applied at the end.

In total, my family pays around $112.00 per month for this whole package.


Since I got the EVO 3D on my own account, I have convinced the family to upgrade their phones since they are all eligible for upgrades.

They are not worried about the cost of upgrading the phones, and I have handled the $70 per line "stay with Sprint" credit they can get.

But what they are concerned about is getting a new contract.

What should they do???

I know 2 of the phones will for sure be EVO 3D's. Does that mean both phones will have the $10 per month "data charge (4G)"? What are the family plans? Is there a certain plan you guys recommend? Any contract they can get for around the same price ($112) in the end?

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Yeah, it's going to be $10 for each phone plus you have to have the $19.95 data plan on each EVO. I've got 5 phones on my account, 4 of them EVO's, have the everything data share plan with an 18% company discount and it runs about 240 a month.

Ultimately, they will have to move up plans if going to the EVO3D, lowest plan right now (Shared standard rate plan), is the $129.99 Everything Data 1500 plan, which is 1500 minutes, unlimited SMS, and unlimited data for $129.99 - Includes N&W at 7PM, but also has the mobile to mobile for any carrier, I wouldn't think the minutes would at all be an issue due to prior usage.

Lines 3-5 on this are an additional $19.99, and the $10 addon would be required for any smartphone they add on. The discount will still apply. Ultimately, it would run at about 161.67 (After discount, before tax and surcharge - I would estimate ~$175 after taxes and surcharges).

$129.99 for lines 1 and 2. + $10 per line with a smart phone...

Lines 3 - 5 will be $19.99 + $10 per line with smart phone...

Lines 3 - 5 are not eligible for a discount... Which means the discount DOES NOT apply.

So the 23% will only apply to the primary and second line...

$129.99 - 23% =
$100.09 - For lines 1 and 2.
+$20 for 2 x smart phones...

$19.99 x 3 = $59.97
+30 for 3 x smart phones...

$210.06 + taxes and surcharges...

Insurance?

I sell this stuff all day. I know discounts do not apply to lines 3 - 5.

what you want is the EPRP Family Plan
you can get the referral information here (upper right corner)

$109.99 for 2 lines (1600 min shared)
+$30 more for 2 more lines ($15 per)
+$40 for 4 smartphone ($10 per)
$179.99

(7p nights and weekends, unlimited texts, unlimited data, unlimited mobile to mobile)
pretty much the best deal on a family plan that exists right now

You can't add a discount eprp plans. They'll eventually remove your discount.

You can't get discounts with that plan. You don't get a renewing credit. You can only buy from corporate sprint stores. You talk to different people over the phone, less willing to please, and happy to let you go. We went that way.. and regret it.

I have EPRP, I can buy at Best Buy they still treat me great on the phone. I didn't try for the renewing credit cuz I always renew at the one year mark to get my new phone.

Thats what sprint said anyway. I know radio shack couldn't do the upgrade for me. Our account couldn't be pulled up.

Bought my Evo 4G at Best Buy and my bro got his Evo 4G last year at Radio Shack with no problems on our EPRP plan.

In fact Best Buy last year had an easier time than Sprint corporate store did with my Pre the year before. The corporate store ended up moving me to a regular plan.
