#2This sounds like a great deal for a hotspot or for a simple internet-connected device.

#3For regular phone use, this seems like a worse version of Google Fi; granted, it supports more devices. Data is $3 more expensive per GB, and Sprint is your only option, vs Sprint or TMobile with Fi.
Someone fill me in if I'm missing something.

#4Aaaand they are a Sprint MVNO. Sprint has a pretty bad network in most of the US.
Maybe they'll pull a Google-Fi and make themselves available on more networks.

Yes. For two lines with a reasonable data plan on the cheapest network, I spend about $120 a month. On the larger carriers (last I checked) it'd be closer to $150-170.

Not really. But it isn't high either.
People pay, so data is expensive. Unlimited voice+text is ~$30 anymore.

#10I'm a big fan of them, after having checked out Charge a couple months ago. The fact they're CDMA made it impossible for me to use their network though. Can't wait for a GSM option to come along.
