View Full Version : Vision on Family plan

I have the new Fair and Flexible family plan. I also have Power Vision. But I'm confused if the Power Vision option is per phone, or for the whole plan (with all lines). I'm paying for Powervision once, does that mean it works only on one phone, or does it apply to all phones?

Argh. Why do all these options have to be so confusing and poorly described on the website. Until of course you get a whammy of a bill.

Power Vision is PER line. All vision is. There is no code or option that will allow "sharing" data subscriptions between lines.

Hey I just checke and this is my 500th post....YAY.

On the brightside, I have 2 phones, the main one doesn't have vision, but I got power vision for 50% off anyway on the second line. Dumb honest me, was telling the rep, "no it should be full price because the other line doesn't have vision" She laughed at me.

Why 50% off on second line? Is pricing different on additional lines for vision?

All optional plan features like Vision, Text Msg plans, etc are 1/2 price on secondary lines on a shared plan if the Primary line has that same plan.

Exactly. What they do is charge full price for the first line that has it, then half for additional lines. So my PowerVision service costs me $25 a month... but for my wife its only $12.50. I get 100 text messages a month for $5, but it only costs $2.50 for my wife to ride along with the text package. That is WAY more fun than paying full price for each phone! :clap:

Just a clarification on this. if the option is applied to the primarily line, added to the second line and then cancelled on the first line it is effectively half price.

this is a workaround that retention will do to lower costs.

so the primary does not have to have the same add on.

The rep told me last week that if it was applied to the primary and then secondary lines, the secondary would be half-price... until you cancelled the service on the primary. At that time, the secondary line would revert to fullprice. He said that one line would always be charged full-price, but then all additional lines would be half.

This is my very first post! Yay me! :)

When I added a phone two years ago, customer service offered Vision free for three months. I canceled, it but they only canceled it on my main line. So I have been fortunately to continue with Vision on line #2 for free.

But today I was checking my plan details online and noticed the following:

Line 1:
* PCS Free-and-Clear plan ($50/700 min)
* Under "Your Current Plan", it lists "Sprint PCS Vision Pack"

Line 2:
* PCS Add-a-phone with Vision ($20/month)
* Also under "Your Current Plan", it lists "Sprint PCS Vision Pack"

Does this mean that my line #1 has Vision included?

I guess I can send a few text messages to see what happens without incurring a big charge.
