Looking to extend your Sprint (S[1]) “Framily”? Twitter (TWTR[2]) may be the solution[3] you’re looking for.

Sprint’s Framily plan allows customers to join up to reduce the price of cellphone bills. The service isn’t limited to relatives and anyone is allowed to join. This has caused some people to start searching Twitter and other social media websites for Framily, reports Washington Post.

When asked about the practice of recruiting random people from Twitter into a Framily plan, Sprint said it didn’t mind. The company said that it doesn’t care how people build their Framily, so long as it isn’t illegal, Washington Post notes.

Here are a few Tweets[5] from Framily seekers.

• “So does anyone need an extra for a #framily?”
• “Want to sign up w/Sprint? Use Framily ID#S00033165jK and save BIG MONEY!!! Plans as low as $25 per mth yo bill has nothing to do with mine!”
• “Switching your cell phone carrier? Join my Sprint Framily! http://Sprint.com/beframily  or at a Sprint Store with my Framily ID:  j00856051oS”
