Sprint Attacks New AT&T, Verizon Shared Data Plans
Like T-Mobile, Insists You'll Save Money By Steering Clear

With AT&T and Verizon cuddling up with cozy duopoly affection to joint-launch their new shared data plans (Verizon, AT&T), it's now up to smaller competitors to try and keep pace. T-Mobile for their part has already slammed the plans, saying they're too expensive ($15 per GB overages, per device access fees), punitive and complicated for many consumers. Sprint has also now joined the attack, launching a new website comparing Sprint's unlimited smartphone plans to these new shared data plans.

Click for full size
Sprint compares several of their plans to comparable plans from AT&T and Verizon, highlighting how unlimited data may ultimately save users money. That may or may not be true, depending on just how much data your family uses -- particularly with both AT&T and Verizon now charging $15 per gigabyte overages.

Sprint notes with an asterisk the fact that last May they started capping and charging overages for users who tether their smartphone or tablet. Sprint now charges $20 a month for 2GB of 3G and 4G data, or $50 a month for 6GB of combined 3G and 4G.

The question of course remains: how long can Sprint continue to offer unlimited data for smartphones? Sprint continues to hope unlimited smartphone data sets the company apart in the marketplace, but they're on a very short rope as the company's heavy iPhone subsidies and massive LTE build costs continue to weigh down earnings.

If you have one phone, you save a grand total of $10 a month.

That isn't enough of a price difference to make Sprint's lack of coverage worth switching to for me. Now Virgin Mobile, which uses Sprint's network, offers a price point worthy of consideration... $35 a month.

Very true, but family plans under Verizon are going to be hella expensive.

If you have one phone, the shared plans are a complete rip-off so it would make more sense to compare the individual plans.

What individual plans? Are you talking Verizon or Sprint? Because Verizon is only a share everything now. With the exception of prepaid.

Individual plan with 4gb and a smartphone is $110 a month. That is $10 more than I am paying now with my family plan that covers 2 phones and unlimited data.

Verizon can suck it. I will hold onto my plan for as long as I can. Hell, I will even buy phones 3rd party instead of getting them through verizon so I can hold onto my unlimited data.

Re: BS

Agreed...I've been pricing out other plans and I can see me going over the 2gb limit...even though I've yet to officially do so. I'm like 7 days into my billing cycle and already used over 1.2GB. So I compared the same plan on Verizon with the 4GB limit...$112 (I like being able to do voice mail through the app) per month is Verizon WITHOUT taxes. I pay $79/mo WITHOUT taxes to Sprint. That's a solid chunk of change per month.

The drawback is, the Sprint network blows donkey nut compared to the others in my area. *sigh*...no win situation for me.

Re: BS

I'm in the same boat. Both AT&T and Verizon would be over 60$ a month more for what I get on Sprint (3 lines), and that's not counting any overage that might occur. Sprint is unlimited data for the phones, and we don't tether. The coverage and speeds might not be the greatest, but I can't justify the added expense on those two things. The phones do what they need to do just fine.

Yeah, $90 for unlimited talk and text, 1gig of data... They are definitely going for all the money now i suppose? But people will still pay for this because of coverage they will probably never use.

Re: BS

I pay Sprint $130 for unlimited everything and 5gig hotspot plan. So actually with one line $40 + 6gigs for $80 with tethering included *Sticks foot in mouth* would be less than what I pay by ten bucks... Hmm...
Edit: Just went thru my bills and this is the most I have used in any month... VZ would actually save me a decent little bit... So Sprint may want to back track what their saying on some things... Some people screw their systems and have great deals while others are paying more for less... And $15 per gig overage isn't that bad considering my overage on the tethering is $51.20 per.

I just canceled 2 of my lines, to leave 1 a single line plan with verizon 450 minutes 1000 texts and I kept my unlimited data (even after the new plans came through) My bill is 99.97 per month. I could of saved 10$ a month by going to a 3-400mb metered plan but meh.

My family has the older $25 version of the Virgin Mobile plan, and coverage is decent, but Internet isn't so hot. Not certain, but it seems most Internet traffic goes somewhere in the Midwest within Virgin Mobile before it goes out to any other service. This causes very large latency issues compared to vanilla Sprint (which I left to get the $25 per month Virgin Mobile plan).

I'm willing to accept a certain amount of performance reduction if I go from a high price point for a data plan to a low one. I know that at the end of the day you get what you pay for. I just see no justification in going from $70 a month for unlimited data and voice to $90 a month for unlimited voice and 1GB of data. And judging from our previous levels of usage, we'll easily incur overages under these new plans.

Re: BS

In fairness to Virgin Mobile, it's usually able to pull up web pages, almost always has voice, the problem is streaming is uneven over a much larger area than vanilla sprint was.

However, for 5 phones, unlimited Internet (though a bit slowish and uneven), texting, and 300 minutes per month for $25 isn't a bad deal imo.

At $35, I'd be tempted to investigate T-Mobile's $30 plan (which I tried, but couldn't justify) or Straight Talk's $45 plan.

However, as my family has the grandfathered $25 Virgin Mobile plan, we probably aren't going anywhere in the near future.

There are many options in the prepaid space for a single/dual user that if you can control watching video are WAY cheaper than postpaid.

Sprint postpaid is no deal. If you want Sprint, go MVNO.

People can hold on to unlimited (it does have some value) but they are paying a pretty price because they will need to buy either a used phone or an unsubsidized one which the price is imputed in the cost of the plan. There are tricks for now (that VZ is fully aware of) and they will slowly cut them off. They will also probably tax you with an activation fee or the like. The point is that unlimited is dead for now, until there is some real competition. Sprint's unlimited is unlimited dial up, so not really like you are on the superhighway.

What most people don't know is that in prepaid if you "go over" your limit you can either reup (in VM) or PPC call them and restart your plan so you don't get hit with crazy overages or throttled.

So take PPC, $55, unlimited, 2GB. If you happen to hit the limit after 20 days, you call and restart and now you have paid $70 for the month (or abouts). This is still way cheaper than postpaid and if you buy your cards online, you can get them for less than retail and no tax (for now).

On Sprint, you have ting which is great for pay as you use, and they now have real phones and 4G LTE. Virgin mobile is another option or boost.

With ting you can add a hotspot for $6 (mifiish) and I'm sure once Sprint gets tabs you can add them too.

So there is lots of new MVNO stuff out there that you can save LOTS of money. I read on forums how coverage sucks, but in many cases these guys have roaming agreements in place so you are not lost.

My wife carries a PPC burner phone which only costs $40 FOR THE YEAR, and that will cover us when out of VM coverage area, which has never happened, and she can use it up in Canada.

I've been with Sprint for over 10 years. With their network vision upgrades I'm seeing data speed and coverage issues but as they fix towers the issues are going away. So far it's working ok. I've gotten two months of credits so far. right now I have 4 lines..all smartphones with 1500 shared minutes, unlimited everything else..and that includes truly unlimited data... I've put on 6 gigs multiple months...AND...unlimited minutes to ANY mobile..not just Sprint..ANY cellphone. I pay with taxes 211/month. I'd be more than double that with anyone else or i'd loose tons of features going with cheaper.

back to reality..

on prepaid, you'll save more.. $35- 60 flat fee *multiple carriers*,
post paid? ka-ching with the taxes and fees, multiple lines.. multiply, ka-ching..

most prepaid plans have smart android phones.

Better yet, buy a $100 tablet and just buy unlimited voice/tex minutes.. there are several prepaid plans for just that. I pity the fool who doesn't live near open wifi hotspots (Mr. T)

Re: back to reality..

Go with a proper BYOD provider and bring a good phone on board. Page Plus uses Verizon's network and is pretty much full BYOD short of 4G devices, VZW Prepaid phones, and iDevices. And for ~$55/mo you get Unl talk/text and 2GB data. I'm currently sporting a Droid with this plan and loving it. Planning to pick up a D3 at some point. Both phones are dead simple to bring on to their service. Add ESN online and dial *228 on the phone, done.

Finding phones, I suggest Swappa: »swappa.com/ Specifically tailored towards Android devices and I've found the prices people are selling them for are a lot less than some of the bigger stores and in much better shape.

Net10 and StraightTalk have bring your own device and if gsm, buy a SIMcard to use your own device... contracts doesn't = good phone, good price, good service.

As I said, it's not all about the phones.. if you read my post, data is best had when it's dirt cheap and/or free, and since all the major carriers are not pursing that path.. it's best to use data on a wifi network until that day comes back-- in the early days of "unlimited" plans these types of plans cost $250 (Sprint) and then broke several price barriers downard to under $50 a month and then sprung back up due to heavy usage enabled by smart phones and the apparent greed of carriers-- they gambled on getting a generation of consumers addicted to wireless data everywhere so much so that they can charge $10, $15 and more per GIGABYTE of data in overages in addition to the rediculous charges they have today. Prepaid is a decent compromise selling essentially the same product, but either soft caps the data or throttles speed.. take your pick (No I wasn't nieve that companies wouldn't limit the amount of data consumed in some way on prepaid.. but you will pay a flat fee, no overages and have a good sense of the value you get w/o the hassle of a contract term and ETF just to save $150 on a subsidized phone)

Nope no GSM. No one here uses at&t because until 3 weeks ago 3G didn't even exists so everyone uses Verizon thus everyone has CDMA phones.

Yes, net10. Recently got one before going camping. 20 bucks for a "smart phone" and 25 for 750 minutes. Only needed it for 8 days. What I found odd was even at 3 bars, it would drop calls. So, if it was using AT&T's network, AT&T's networks SUCK. I had 1 to zero bars, but 3g svc (no roaming) on my Sprint Motorola Admiral which I had tethered to my lap top and was able to surf the net at acceptable speeds. I have one of the old Sprint SERO plans (now SERO premium) that costs me 40 bucks a month for what you VZ pukes are paying in the 80's for. And I get UNLIMITED data. I'm sure if I keep tethering, Sprint will shut me down.

MVNOs are free to choose their own phones as long as they the carrier agrees to them. and StraightTalk phone's aren't bad. VM's aren't either. TMO has great phones they'll load onto their "prepaid" plans.

Please Sprint give it up

Ok first who say that family NEEDS or WANTS 10 GB of data per month?

Second Sprints data is unlimited but they throttle you to dial-up speeds if you use "too much" data.

Thrid they conveniently leave out the hotspot cost of Sprint which is included with Verizon.

And it must be a big one for you Karl, as you seem to have been asking it every week for the past two years.

Yes because their service is so robust now. Yes when all the data hogs who want their 100 GB a month mobile data bring Sprint's network down to less than dial-up speed well see how great unlimited sounds.

how long before the big 2 clamp down on MVNOs?

because the MVNOs are getting large chunks of their business right now(prepaid carriers offer much better deals right now). I just wonder how long it will be before T and V start to charge them so much money that they cannot offer the plans they do, and they start to either raise prices or file anti-trust lawsuits to break up the baby bells(really, ma and pa bell) again. Some cable and teleco incumbents need to be slapped too.

I've seen it happen already, with Red Pocket Mobile. They had a really great plan for $59/mo that was unlimited voice/txt/mms and 2GB of data. They've since rolled that back to $55/mo unlimited voice/txt/mms and 1GB of data.

T-mobile still has really great pre-paid options, but I won't go back to them, until they refarm their 3G in Nashville to the 1900 band. Unlimited EDGE data is almost as bad as Sprint 3G.

Happy on Red Pocket Mobile

I've got my Lumia 800 on Red Pocket Mobile (AT&T MVNO) and I have to say that I'm impressed. Though the speeds aren't the fastest (HSPA+, supposedly) it is still much faster than Sprint 3G, plus the coverage is better.

The best part, is that I shaved about 30/month off of my bill, by ditching Sprint and going pre-paid. No hidden fees, just a straight up $59.99 a month for unlimited voice/txt/mms and 2GB of data.

hah

It's up to each consumer to decide what carrier/plan is best for their needs.

IMO, first they should decide on the carrier. Whoever provides the best coverage makes sense to me. After all, if you can't use the device when you need to, what are you paying for?

Secondly, figure out what plan applies best.

There seems to be a certain stigma around prepaid carriers, that they are only for 2nd class citizens, or poor folk. In the past, that may have been the case, but it certainly seems that many prepaid MVNOs are trying to step up their game and compete on price/value.

LOL @ Sprint

Oh please Sprint. Your 3G network went down the crapper once the iSheep started flooding the network and now you want to taunt the big 2? The big 2 have metered data, yes but at least it works. What good is unlimited data when you only get dial up speeds. Your wimax signal can't even penetrate a fucking fly and your LTE is available in what? 5-6 cities. No major hubs and deployment delays to go along with it. At least the big 2 don't blame slow LTE rollout on birds. Seriously Sprint? Big 2's new plans suck for individuals and but if you have 2 phones like I do, their family plans are actually better. I pay the same amount on Verizon for a 4GB data plan as I would with you on your Everything Data plan. It's not unlimited but it suits my needs. We never go over 2GB as were on wifi a lot and speeds are fast as hell. 25Mbps+

Verizon Share Everything

I am a Verizon customer. We had a family plan sharing 700 minutes between an iPhone and a flip phone, each with 250 text messages and the iPhone had 2 GB of data. We upgraded to share everything with 1 GB of data (I NEVER go above 750 MB of data usage, and I'd rather pay the $15 overage fee ONCE than pay $240 for two years for data I'm not using). We had no change in cost. Also, now, I can replace the flip phone with an iPhone for only $10 a month when my upgrade period comes.

Re: Verizon Share Everything

They are not a heavy user, but would use some. I have gone over 500, but rarely. Most months I use 300. If I needed more data I could add it and it'll still be cheaper.

I'm With AT&T

I did the math and it will be beneficial to me to switch to these new plans. I have an iPhone, iPad and regular phone. I currently have 2GB of data for my iPhone. The iPad and regular phone do not have cellular data plans. By switching to these new plans, I will get all devices data access and pay the same I'm paying now and gain unlimited minutes. I will go down to a bucket of 1GB of data but the regular phone doesn't really use data at all and my iPhone and iPad are connected to WiFi 99.9% of the time and I never used more then 400MB of data. It usually hovers around 300ish. I like the unlimited minutes and having my iPad access to cellular data if the need should arise. I will be switching.

Unlimited texting for both lines $30
Two 2 GB data plans $60
TOTAL=$160

Share Everything

Line charge for 2 smartphones $80
6 GB of shared data with unlimited minutes and texting $80
TOTAL=$160

As you can see I'm getting 2 extra GB for the same price. OR I can keep it at 4 GB and save $10 a month.

verizon shared

I have Verizon and when I got with a customer service rep and figured it up I would be paying more for a shared plan with my two phones than what I am paying now so I stayed. Needless to say she tried to convince me to go with the more expensive plan anyway although I hardly used the data as I'm on wifi most of the time.

Switching and cant wait

Currently on sprint with corp discount, 4 smart phones, paying an extra 10 dollars per phone for premium wimax(JOKE) which doesn't exist I currently pay 227.00

Priced up at 10 gigs under ATT(considering we hover about 6 gigs usage a moth) we have alot of hot spots 4 smart phones without corp discount will cost me 240.. SO I am assuming with my corp discount it will put me right back where I currently at or a few bucks more for a service that works... wish I never left ATT in the 1st place...

So overall not so bad for me

LOL

I dropped Verizon last weekend in favor of T Mobile and a Galaxy 3. Couldn't be happier. Verizon just plain sucks. I actually get a signal at home now so I was able to get rid of my land line. When I had Verizon, I always had calls drop. I am paying less now for unlimited everything with 5GB 4G than I was for Verizon with no data at all. Sweeeet!!!! I did however buy my phone outright in favor of a lower monthly bill.
