FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted August 20, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted August 20, 2014 SAN FRANCISCO — Sprint on Monday announced the details of its new, cheaper pricing plans. The company said it is effectively doubling its high-speed data offering at prices that meet or beat competitors. A new family plan can include up to 10 lines with 20GB of shared data and unlimited talk and text for $100 a month under a promotion through 2015. The pricing will be available beginning Friday. Also under a promotion for the new pricing, Sprint is throwing in an additional 2GB per line for up to 10 lines through 2015. The announcement from Sprint, the third-largest wireless company in the U.S., had been expected. The company's new CEO, Marcelo Claure, has said reducing prices is among priorities as he takes on competitors Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S. "Sprint is offering the best value to data-hungry consumers. Period," Claure said in a press release on the announcement. He said the company would have more news later this week about plans for individuals. "We want customers to think twice before choosing another wireless carrier," he said. He was named CEO earlier this month, replacing Dan Hesse. Sprint is the No. 3 carrier in the U.S. and a subsidiary of SoftBank. The executive shift followed scrapped plans for a merger with T-Mobile, the fourth largest wireless carrier in the U.S., because of challenging regulatory hurdles.

Rich-M Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 The problem with Sprint and T-Mobile is not the pricing its the service. If you are in a Metropolitan area and stay there you are fine. Go out in to the country and you have reception issues everywhere that ATT and Verizon do not have. Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted August 20, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted August 20, 2014 My contract is up with Sprint in December. I am going to T-Mobile or AT&T. I hateVerizon. Had them before and while the network was good the phone selection was horrible. Not to mention the horrid overage charges. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
Rich-M Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 It might pay you to look at all of them again Bob as ATT and Verizon have made major policy and pricing changes lately to keep up with the price cutting from Sprint and T-Mobile. I got an offer from ATT a few months ago when I was paying the bill online which cut 1/3 off my bill and a few months earlier I had reduced our service and cut another $30 off our plan. Quote
