Sprint, the nation’s number four wireless carrier, is retiring its popular 50% off promotion and eliminating traditional data plans to focus on its Unlimited Freedom plan.

Sprint changes unlimited plan pricing; eliminates other data plans

Starting April 7, here’s the new unlimited plan pricing from Sprint:

  • First line: $50 a month
  • Two lines: $40 a month per line ($80 total)
  • Three lines: $33.33 a month per line ($100 total)
  • Four lines: $30 a month per line ($120 total)

Similar to its competitors, Sprint’s unlimited plan offers unlimited data, talk and text, HD streaming and 10 GB/month of mobile hotspot data for each line.

The pricing reflects a $5 per month AutoPay discount. Taxes and fees are not included.

Ò€œMore than 90 percent of our customers are already choosing Unlimited,Ò€ said Roger SolΓ©, Sprint’s chief marketing officer. Ò€œDuring the past few months, we’ve seen other national wireless carriers offer unlimited plans, but their offers don’t match the value we provide. Within the first year, Verizon’s and AT&T’s unlimited plans will cost consumers at least 50 percent more.Ò€

Compared to Verizon, Sprint says a family of four can save $720 in the first year alone by making the switch.

The promotional pricing, for new customers only, lasts through June 2018. After that, Sprint’s unlimited plan will cost $60 a month for the first line, $40 a month for the second line and $30 a month for lines three and four.

Clark.com has confirmed with a Sprint representative that existing customers can keep their current plan, and they do not get the promo rate if they switch to unlimited.

So, a current customer will pay $60 a month for the first line on the unlimited plan, not the $50 new customers will pay.

Although Sprint’s new unlimited plan still offers the cheapest monthly rate among the big four wireless providers, its expiring five lines for $90 a month deal is better.
