Sprint introduces Framily Wall apps & social network
Following the announcement of its 30 day risk-free trial programme, Sprint has introduced Framily Wall, a "private and secure social media space for customers to connect with those who matter most". This makes the nation's third largest carrier the first to "provide a social media space for consumers".
Launching soon for Android, and heading to iOS, Windows Phone, and the web, Sprint Framily Wall features the ability to share content with one or several members of your Wall, organize calendars and contacts, keep "best memories" in a shareable album, share phone locations, and more. Taking a page from the Google+ playbook, SFW lets users create multiple "private Walls" to communicate with separate groups of contacts, with each being separate and private.
SFW also has a premium version available for a $2.99 monthly subscription. This gets you up to 10GB of storage (the free version is limited to 100MB), video and voice messaging, upload, and sharing.
