T-Mobile may have stolen the spotlight earlier this year by paying customers to switch, but it looks like Sprint is cooking up a similar deal in response. An S4GRU leak has revealed a Sprint promo that will pay you to switch from a competitor to the carrier’s Framily plan between April 4th and May 8th. Much like T-Mobile’s offer, you’ll get up to $350 to cover early termination fees at the provider you’re leaving; you’ll also get up to $300 in service credit if you trade in your old phone at the same time.

Sprint is temporarily offering up to $650 to switch from another carrier and sign up for a Sprint “Framily” plan. Customers who switch will get a Visa prepaid card equal to the cost of their existing carrier’s early termination fee, up to $350. Customers can then get up to $300 in additional credit by trading in their old phones. Sprint’s Framily plans allow up to 10 people to be on a single plan, with the option to have separate bills. The base price for one person is $55 per month with 1 GB of data, unlimited talk and unlimited text, but for each person added to the plan, the monthly price drops by $5, down to $25 per month for seven or more people. (Individual users can also get 3 GB of data for an extra $10 per month, or unlimited data for an extra $20 per month.)
