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.

Γ’β¬ΕMore than 90 percent of our customers are already choosing Unlimited,Γ’β¬Β said Roger SolΓ©, Sprint’s chief marketing officer. Γ’β¬ΕDuring 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.Γ’β¬Β
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.
