According to Bloomberg, Sprint has decided to offer the iPhone 5, which is set for a mid October release, paired with an “unlimited” data plan.
To differentiate itself from bigger competitors such as AT&T and Verizon, Sprint is said to be the only carrier that will offer an unlimited data plan for $100, which includes voice and data. With it’s “cost effective” plan, this is done in hopes of getting more subscribers at a time when Sprint is not doing too good.
Unlike Sprint, AT&T and Verizon are offering “tiered” plans of $15 to $80, which doesn’t include the $70 per month voice service.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse mentioned that the idea will be scrapped if it starts to cost too much for the company in terms of taxes.
“If I have an all-you-can-eat buffet, and the entire New England Patriots football team shows up for dinner, it’s going to run me out of business,” said Dan Hesse.
With AT&T and T-Mobile in the midst of a merge, Sprint may drop to last place in terms of carrier rankings, while Verizon is doing much better recently, with it’s iPhone sales going through the roof.
October will be an important month for Sprint to catch up to it’s rivals, and the iPhone will prove to be vital in it’s success or failure.
My dad said I can get the iPhone 5 with my own money ?? yes????????????????????????????
yeah sure …why not… you need to be fuc*ing earning grans if you wanna afford an iphone
@mbeast jeeze I’m sorry didn’t mean to get you mad I’m just excited so shut up
$100 for unlimited data? Are you kidding me. That is pretty expensive. Lucky that I got the unlimited plan with AT&T for only $65 a month. I am very happy.
It’s $100 for unlimited everything idiot.
First your “unlimited” from at&t is 69.99 and its only to mobile devices, and the data is limited 2gb, in sprint is $99 for all unlimited including the data
Sprint have more signal wit at&t..
IM PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.!! I DONT CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH FOR A UNLIMITED PLAN FOR A IPHONE CAUSE I LEFT ATT CAUSE THEY WAY TO EXPENSIVE. BUT NOW I KNOW WITH SPRINT I WILL SAVE IM SOME WAY
Wow why all the anger in this thread?
What if we already have a phone. Is Sprint going to charge us a lot of money just to get the iPhone?
IF you are eligible for upgrade you would be charged new cust price plus 36 upgrade fee…otherwise you would have to pay full price of the phone which is normally like 700
Correction amanda if he already has the iphone he can and it and will just pay $36 activation fee
amanda is right… i work for sprint…if you aren’t upgrade eligible you pay full price plus the activation fee…if you are upgrade eligible then you get the new customer price and then the 36 activation fee…
yes idiot is everything? even hot spot for free that att charge add $30 for 4 g here will me unlimited.
I think its a good idea, at&t has its own “unlimited” plan but charges for extra data when u need more to continue using internet. tmobile does the same but slows down and sucks after a while. I get service with sprint everywhere so imagine with the iphone. Ive always wanted one but i never wanted to leave sprint. now theyre merged and i cant wait to enjoy the iphone.
i cant wait
yheaaa buddy , we gettin dis new shyt from sprint
So I’ve been with sprint for 10+ years im pretty excited about this myself. Im rockin an old broken feature phone paying around $34 to $40 a month. Anyway Im ready to upgrade again.
Sp Sprint has different unlimited plans that I’ve used before the cheapest one is $69.99 for unlimited data only. do any of you think this will work for the iPhone?
all smartphones require the everything data plan
I have been with Sprint for 8 yrs, they also have a plan unlimitited for 69 bucks. I personally have 99.99 unlimited and have had no complaints or problems. It’s great they are offering the iPhone. I may try it but also love my 3D HD EVO . IPhone started out being first in technology with a great phone I won’t lie. But its a name. There are many great phones now catching up and iPhone us like any other designer object. Known iPhone. But there are other great phones whom offer great great SERVICES which is also important. Just wanted you to know Sprint also has a to plan unlimited. Enjoy your phones, its a luxury, not life.
I always wanted a iPhone but never got one but I think this iPhone 5 has taken the cake some way, some how I will own one of theses phones!
IpHONE WITH UNLIMITED DATA. WOW………….. i always wanted to have iphone wioth tthis feature, i am really looking forward to purchase it
