With its Framily plans, Sprint wants you to convince friends, family and possibly outright strangers, to join the carrier and chip a few bucks off your bill. Its even created a new ad series to show just how broad its definition of framily is. The dads a hamster, while the daughter speaks only in French, accompanied by three animated birds. However, Sprints Frobinsons have to go a long ways to match the sheer offbeat-ness of Softbanks answer to framily, the Shiratos in Japan.
