[Sprint announced Friday](https://promo.sprint.com/Registration/FramilyETF "undefined") that it will pay the early termination fees (ETFs) of anyone who switches to a new Framily plan on its network, up to $650 – [matching T-Mobile’s identical offer](http://www.techlicious.com/blog/t-mobile-will-pay-your-early-termination-fees-up-to-650-per-line/ "undefined") from a couple months back. Under the terms of the new deal, Sprint will offer up to $300 to buy your current device. Then, after you’ve obtained proof of paying another carrier’s ETF, Sprint will reimburse you with a Visa gift card up to $350. Short for “friends and family,” Sprint’s no-contract Framily plan offers separate billing and escalating discounts for each additional line added. Prices start at $55 for unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data, decreasing by $5 with each additional line added. At maximum savings – 7 lines – everyone in your Framily will pay $25 per line. Sprint’s promotion is a limited time deal that runs from April 4 to May 8\. But before you jump out of your current contract to switch, do your research – there are better carriers and better deals out there.
