In its press release announcing the iPhone launch, Sprint touts its service plans offering unlimited data, a feature not offered by other U.S. iPhone carriers.
"Our unlimited data plans are the perfect fit for iPhone customers," said Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. "Sprint's unlimited data plans provide more value than metered plans from other carriers. Our customers can take advantage of the innovative features of iPhone without worrying about overage charges or surprises on their bill."

$10 premium charge for the iPhone making their plans on par with AT&T and Verizon. I guess I will stick with AT&T.
 
Here's to hoping Sprint can force at least one of the other major carriers to return to unlimited data someday. I may consider Sprint when my contract is up if they maintain these plans.
 
Sad to see the Steve Jobs story be pushed off the top of the homepage...

Anyways, will I be order to preorder a Sprint iPhone from Apple? That'd be ideal for me.
 
Damnit. Of course i am going away on vacation next Friday so i cant switch from ATT to Sprint and get mine before i go lol :(

It will have to wait after Punta Cana i guess :p

Order and send it to a good friends house...
 
Sprint, here I come. I have been a hobbled iPhone user on TMobile too long.
 
Sprint really isn't that much cheaper than the faster and more reliable Verizon service.
 
This is great! A good way to help relieve the conjestion for those who want the 4s!
 
$110 a month for unlimited!! :eek: Am I the only one finding that extremely expensive?

I bought my iPhone 3Gs back in January 2010 at Tesco’s under a pay as you go deal (I’m not a big caller or texter and dislike monthly standing charges) and haven’t had to pay for data usage since, no matter how much I use. (International roaming excluded).

I thought the $10 fee was for "4g smartphones"

I love how phone companies claim to have "4g" when its not.

No, it's also for 3g phones. People ranting about how cheap Sprint is are incorrect. Unless you have one of their retention deals, switching to Sprint over Verizon is NOT that much cheaper.

Been analysizing this for days. Sprint is a bit cheaper for "unlimited" data, and you get a bit more service for the month, but Verizon is consistently tested faster and more reliable for a bit more cost over Sprint.
