American telecom operator Sprint today said Sprint Framily Plan is available to small business customers.
The new pricing program will be available from 21 February.
American small businesses (SMBs) can benefit when adding new lines to a Framily group and get unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data for $25 per month per line.
The savings will increase if SMBs add more lines.
For one line of service, new Sprint customers pay $55 per month per line for unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data. For each additional new Sprint customer who joins the Framily group, the cost per person goes down $5 a month up to a maximum monthly discount of $30 per line.
Build a group of at least seven people and everyone gets unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data for $25 per month per line (pricing excludes taxes and surcharges).
The Sprint Framily Plan gives small business owners the ability to achieve greater savings by inviting employees, business associates and others to join their Framily group. Each account can be billed separately and small business owners can save without adding costs to their business.
For $20 per month per line, Framily members can buy up to unlimited data plus get a new phone every year with Sprint Easy Pay.
With the Sprint Framily Plan there are no annual service contracts and no early termination fees.
To participate in the new pricing program, customers need to purchase an eligible wireless phone at full retail price or through the Sprint Easy Pay program, which allows them to pay in 24 monthly payments. Customers also can activate an existing Sprint phone.
Small business customers will receive a unique Framily ID, at which point they can invite others outside of Sprint to join their group.
There are conditions. Existing Sprint accounts cannot be combined into one Framily plan unless both accounts are owned by the same person. The price of the Framily Plan for customers currently on a plan with a discounted phone is an additional $15 per month per line for service until the customer’s line is upgrade eligible.
There are limited period benefits as well. For a limited time, Sprint will waive the $15 per month to move to the Sprint Framily Plan for customers who purchased a discounted phone before Jan. 10, 2014, and are not upgrade eligible.
