U.S. mobile carrier Sprint recently announced that their unlimited text, talk, and data plan will be getting more expensive. They will be raising the price by $10 from $60 a month to $70 a month. It was noted that those who currently pay $60 for Sprint’s plan will continue to get the old price but new customers will have to pay $70 a month for the unlimited plan. The carrier’s new price increase will go into effect starting October 16th, which is in approximately two weeks.
Currently, Sprint and T-Mobile are the only two carriers left that offer unlimited data but it costs customers $80 per month at T-Mobile instead of $60 per month at Sprint. The company actually encouraged customers to take advantage of the old price by signing up in the next two weeks and to not miss out before the increase in price. According to Sprint’s CEO Marcelo Claure,
At Sprint, we give customers what they want – and they want the option of unlimited data. At $70 a month, Sprint still beats the competition. Rather than increase the price without warning, we want to give customers one last chance to take advantage of the $60 rate.
Mobile carriers Verizon and AT&T are already phasing out unlimited data so we have reason to believe that unlimited data plans will soon disappear and won’t stick around forever. However, for now, if you like having unlimited plans T-Mobile and Sprint are the only ways to go.
