Today Sprint announced several new service plans during the investor earnings conference call.
The announcement includes two unlimited plans, and two new plans bundled with unlimited messaging. The intention is to simplify the billing process, similar to how long distance and roaming charges have been eliminated in recent years.
As reported previously, Sprint announced an unlimited plan for $99.99 per month dubbed “Simply Everythingâ€.
This plan includes unlimited voice calling to anyone on any network anytime, unlimited messaging, unlimited Direct Connect on either the CDMA or iDEN platform, as well as unlimited access to Sprint TV, Sprint Music, and Sprint Navigation.
The plan can also be used as a family plan, with a $5 discount on each additional line added. ($99.99 for line 1, $94.99 for line 2, $89.99 for line 3 etc. up to five lines). Sprint has also added an unlimited plan at the $89.99 price point that allows for unlimited voice and unlimited messaging.
Sprint also announced two plans that come bundled with unlimited messaging and a simplified data package. Sprint will offer a plan for $49.99 that includes 450 minutes, and a plan for $69.99 that includes 900 minutes.
The simplified data plan will be priced at $20 per month and will include “all featuresâ€. There is no word on what exactly what “all features” include, but it is expected to include all of the data features in the “Simply Everything” plan with all of the above plans available starting tomorrow Friday, February 29th.
So Sprint’s is unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, TV, music, GPS navigation for $99.
Verizon’s unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, (no TV), (no music), GPS navigation is $139.
Umm, can you hear Sprint NOW, Verizon?
I called and they said no employee discoint, or any discounts will be vaailable with the simply anything plans.. That what I was told.. WHo knows if its right though
Unlimited plan is a little pricy for me but it is worth taking a hard look if you are a heavy user and like having all the bells. It really seems they packed all the goodies in that anyone could want — wow even GPS Navigation. Each one of these adds would add $5 here, $10 there and really cause the bills to go up. When you see what you get, this is really a good deal.
Combine this with by Sierra Wireless 595 card (which is truly UNLIMITED) in by D-Link DIR-450 WIFI router and I can truly be in the position to cut the cord.
Hear anyone who has an existing account can switch without getting into a new contract — sounds fair to me. Time to do some math — go back, see how many minutes I use and how much my DSL and normal phone and long distance runs. May be worth the jump.
At least SPRINT is giving me the option…………………..
