Not widely discussed or noticed, but Sprint has an unlimited rate plan that is half the cost of the $90 plan they recently announced. It is provided by their Boost Unlimited service. I recently made the switch and am paying $50 a month for the same level of service I was using under my old $60 plan and am getting unlimited text messaging with no contract requirement to boot! Overall, its a perfect fit for me and a much better deal than what I had before or could get under their new plan.
The Boost product is a set of prepaid rate plans offered by Sprint, similar to AT&T's GoPhone. What is attractive is their new Boost Unlimited rate plan, which offers an unlimited month of service for $45-$50-$55, or $35-$40-$45 in Hawaii and Miami. As a Sprint customer, it certainly makes sense to dump my current plan and get unlimited minutes for about $20 less per month!
Sprint already offers a sub-$60 rate plan. It is called Boost Unlimited. As a Sprint customer, why wouldn't I just switch to this plan and pay much less for more minutes?
It is interesting that people are waiting to see how Sprint responds to the other national moves on unlimited. I just found out that Sprint already has a regional unlimited plan that is half the cost of the $100 plans the other carriers have rolled out. It is called Boost Unlimited. As a Sprint customer, why would I pay more for less minutes when I could just call them and switch to their Boost Unlimited plan?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
