It's been over 3 years since there has been any pricing adjustments amongst the national players.  Once AT&T Wireless and Nextel were swallowed up, the top three carriers matched each others' price and haven't budged since.  It's about time the price comes down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 2:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[I will jump back to Sprint in a heartbeat for that rate.

Sprint has Nextel, and Nextel has WAY too many corporate gigs for Spring to "kick the bucket" any time soon. Even with the so called "change" that's coming for Push-to-Talk based services, Nextel's subscriber base isn't gonna budge, bc nothing out there compares to the PTT service iDEN offers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G-Ste]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 2:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sprint needs a huge customer return/shift to them now more then ever.

I used to work for Sprint. Their idea of unlimited was great, but only if it was set up correctly. I had to deal with a customer who was on the unlimited plan. But the bonehead rep who set him up left the $5 M2M and $5 NW7PM options on. A good year's worth of charges. He didn't even notice it on his bills until I pointed it out.<br>Caveat emptor: Sprint's employmee incompetency rate is around 90% (present company excluded, of course). Make sure your plan change is done by the nerdiest guy in the store. Or if you call in, make sure you talk only to the retention team.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kobayashi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 7:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow...that really sucks.

You need to call Sprint Premier Care, we will take care of you. I pride myself with being customer focused, doing all that is appropriate to help the customer get the best for the buck's she or he spends. This kind of care means customer not only will stay but will tell there friends, that we care becouse we do... proof in the doing, If you can tie your account to a corp hierarchy you get premier care of your account even if it is not a business account. and the discount  is nice also...I have not heard what the final plans will be but the 119 with all the trimmings is not bad for a power user, and I hope they come up with a good family plan for unl or at least 4000 minutes.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Emmett]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 6:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[And wait until iPCS screws it up by not including off-network roaming and charging $10 for 100 roaming minutes, making it not "unlimited" after all... I know they will. <br><br>After all, Sprint may be bad, but the iPCS affiliate areas are even worse...<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MFfan310]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 8:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[If they go ahead on the $60.00 plan its gonna turn the wireless industry in a price war and god only knows how low can they go. sprint lost so many cust last qtr. they need this bad if they wanna get back to contender status. they are cutting jobs all over. this might be a make or break thing for them. either way this is gonna be fun to watch.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[masterSinz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2008 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sprint gearing up to offer $60 / month unlimited calling plan?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/02/20/sprint-gearing-up-to-offer-60-month-unlimited-calling-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sprint already offers a sub-$60 rate plan.
