Thank you for letting us know. Why just SG S8's and 15 markets instead of 49? Hate Sprint with passion but free is free..

From the article:

"with more cities and devices to be added in the coming weeks"

There is a reason it is called a SOFT ROLLOUT.

Sprint don't earn even single penny from you. Our government collect tax $ on all goods and services whether they free or not.

It's the $60 per line per month service that is free. Any other carrier who would offer service in this way would do the exact same thing. Are you really dumping all over this deal? It's not like these fees are unreasonable. Legally, they could have made the fees $60 per line if they wanted to, but they didn't.

Because they are not able to make $60 or $30 from you or me, so they make $8 from you or me (claim for free) at few cents cost , better than nothing... enjoy!
certainly, no one or very few people will stay to pay $60 plus fees after "free"

Well, if they offer me $25 per line with all of the same features I have now, I know I'm going for it. This has already been offered to others as their free plan was about to expire. Sprint works very well for me and my family and $25 would line up just fine with my budget of $30 or less per line. Sprint may not be for everyone, but a lot of people are happy with it. This can be said for ALL of the carriers.

One person was offered $25. No one will want to pay $60 or $25 until free dies.I guess some took kick starter or Swac but I''m hoping for Karl's vision of free sprint for sprint's lifetime.

Of course. Operative word was "if." I highly doubt the "free forever" thing, but we can dream.

The problem is that the hotspot and HD streaming have been dropped from the free plan on next expiry and once I lose those at the end of April I am not sure I would want the free plan anymore without them.

There are places like Teltik where I can get hotspot included for $20 or $30 a month. It would be a lower maximum usage but would be enough for me.

I know that I can get a hotspot with WifiTetherRouter etc but those are not as convenient I think. I might change my mind by next April, or the free plan might be closing by then, etc..

I was saying that sprint said they couldn't activate ANY OTHER PHONE on the same plan. They indicated the plan would switch if I activated another phone. However, after talking to several people there, I got a hold of someone that was able to activate another phone for me. Thanks to everyone for your help that wasn't trying to be a smartass.

The most horrible cell company. Good luck using your internet while on a call with the iPhone, and good luck finding someone who speaks English on customer service or really getting the deal they offer. I had to call every month and fight weird charges. This company is a mess

I would like to switch from Verizon and add a line for my Mom. How do I add a line? Do I add it before I switch with Verizon or after with Sprint? Thanks
