I called today (I am up in a month) on an older multi-line family plan. The first rep said no way no how, never. I asked for it escalated to a call back from a supervisor. He said it is under strong consideration but can't guarantee it.
But the way he described how the charges are being considered it would "not blow out of the water" the older excuses. He said that for 4G of any kind, Android or not, there would be a $10 4g charge on all plans. If you have a data plan any non smartphone will be able to be added at no charge, and any 4g will cost $10. In other words, if you have Sero or family with no current data included it will be $10 for a 3g smartphone and $20 for a 4g smartphone. If you already have data it will be $10 for 4g.
I specifically asked f this was being confused with the SWAC changes and he said the SWAC (Sprint Employee) changes were being based on upcoming consumer changes.
In terms of the putting it in writing, I don't think they will advertise this. I think it will be something offered/relented at the retention level as the prohibition at the account level is going to be removed.
I wholeheartedly agree with people that this should be take with a grain of salt, and we will only know after Oct. 1 . But I doubt this is coming out of thin air or only about SWAC.
