What about existing customers?

So I have two lines with a family share 1500 minute plan I wonder if this would be cheaper than what I'm currently paying? My bill is about $160 a month. If I am even eligible, they didn't say anything about existing customers.

$60 plus $60 = $120 so yes it's cheaper.

In the FAQ's on the site it says you must be out of contract to take advantage of the new plan.

Here's an idea, find someone on T-Mobile to refer you over, get your ETF paid and move back to Sprint if you're displeased. My guess is you'll never look back though.

This is a no contract plan. So if you switch you would have to make phone payments on your next phone, which will honestly even out. One you leave an Everything Share plan you lose it forever, and if you want a phone subsidy you will have to switch to Unlimited, My Way.

I would, but it's too bad T-mobile doesn't have coverage at my house. Literally nothing. Last time my dad was at my place with his T-mobile phone he had 0 bars, searching for signal. Never had a problem with Sprint in the rural areas that I travel around, which is surprising after reading so many people's hatred towards Sprint.

If you're okay with buying phones that have subsidies below $480 over two years, you'll come out at least even by switching to the new plan. Existing customers can make the switch.

So that means that you're better off staying with your current plan if you want an iPhone, which gets discounted by $550 these days it seems. But if you're okay with something lower-end, or with keeping your existing phones a bit longer, you win by switching.

It also depends on where you live. States with no sales tax get phones at $0 down, so an iphone 5s or galaxy S5 realistically costs you $160ish over two years (assuming $60 a month and $27 a month for the phone or $80 a month on contract where you pay $150 to $200 upfront). Even if you have bad credit the down payment is the 2 year price and then you are paying less a month (S5 is $199.99 down payment and $16 a month).

I really hate all these new monthly payment plans for buying devices. What happened to the days where you could just get a phone at a subsidized price and upgrade every two years? Not everyone needs a new phone every 6 months!
