Sprint Tops Rivals With $99 Unlimited Everything Plan
But Sprint isn't ready to lay down and die just yet. The beleagured provider is looking to upstage its competitors $99 unlimited calling plans. AT&T and Verizon offer unlimited voice for $99, and T-Mobile adds unlimited text messaging, but Sprint is offering unlimited everything at the now industry standard price point of just under a Benjamin. Unlimited calling, texting, data, e-mail, Sprint TV, GPS, and push to talk. Matching that offering on Verizon or AT&T would easily push your monthly bill to over $140.
We're glad to see a U.S. provider finally offer a reasonable flat fee plan for unlimited everything. If Sprint can successfully tackle some of its other issues, such as network reliability, it may be able to put significant pressure on other companies to match its offer.

Doesn't matter how cheap the plans are if u get charged for 9 of them on 2 phones every month. Also doesn't matter how unlimited the bill is if U can't EVER USE THE SERVICE! Dropping 75 calls a day is not worth a $40 savings monthly. And 6hrs on the phone to fix a problem with their OWN billing Dept's error is INSANE!
Push to talk is the biggest joke too. NEXTEL alone wasn't that bad!
What happens when 1 bad company with poor customer service buys an even worse company with the worst network reliability, pricing, and phone selection?
The NEW SPRINT....TOGETHER WITH NEXTEL!
VERIZON RULES....TMOBILE ROCKS! I'd love Alltel or Metro PCS too...BUT ATT and SPRINT....ARE LIKE THE DEVIL's CELL PHONE COMPANY...wait G.W. Bush does have a sprint blackberry doesn't he....LOL!

Good Luck Sprint... I remember telling the customer service rep in 2005 that there was no way this company would last another 5 years....
Glad to see that I was right! DIE SPRINT!
I've had every major cell phone provider and Verizon has been the best, except for one disconnect in over 1 year. I can't complain. The day is coming when cell phone bills will have to compete with regular house phone bills, in terms of pricing and removal of all extra fees.
Oh, Verizon does have some hidden extra fees, depending which plan you are on... so watch out!
I've got 9 months left till my contract runs out.. I hope Verizon does offer an Unlimited Plan... then I won't have to switch again, for the umpteenth time.

I'm glad Sprint did something to try and remain competitive. The fact is- Sprint still has around 45-50 Million customers and if they step up to the plate with better cust service, the new G-phone, the Airave and Xohm/Wimax high-speed internet, they will be the best company. That is a big IF but it is possible.

I have Cricket and have everything for 55/month.... I dont understand how this is a good deal lol.
Even in the east there is MetroPCS and that also includes Unlimited texting,Unlimited web access, unlimited calling and With my Cricket i get 200 roaming minutes included so you arent paying a crazy amount if you are roaming. I pay more for phones ya but i get a cheaper deal in the long run.
