    The plan change is to compete with att and sprint. Old plan family share was 10 bucks for every 2 gig new plan is 20 bucks for every 15 gig. I had an 8 gig plan and went to 15 for same money. This is for 4 lines or more. Also something they don't tell you. If you get a phone on a 2 year contract and after 2 years you don't upgrade the line is no longer under contract and you phone is paid for.. the part they don't tell you is your then entitled to a discount on that line as long as it's not in contract. Like 25 bucks a month or so.

    It is also my understanding that as a Swift employee you get a 12% discount on access fee. I check because my current employer gets me a 22% and on my bill that equates to about 50 bucks.

    Yes unfortunately -.-. Not built for OTR drivers. I remember I went to Wyoming, well a load to Wyoming. When I passed through South Dakota my service went bye bye. I was up there for 3 days. So for 3 days I didn't have any service. Never again Sprint. Need better or more towers.
