Sprint’s announcement of its new $15/month Unlimited Kickstart plan has made big waves in the wireless world.
This is just about the lowest price ever on an unlimited cell phone plan from one of the Big 4 playersΒ β a group that’s rounded out by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
Yet if you like that $15 price point, Sprint is not your only choice in the market. The one thing to keep in mind is that you’ve got to know yourself and how much data you’re going to need, because some of the plans below are severely restricted on that count.
