Already? When did they do away with the Unlimited Plus plan?

I don't know, but I can't find it anywhere on the website.

Live on forever? Not in reality, but maybe in memory.

 

Sprint will have to start taking a hard look at accounts that still have sweetheart "unlimited" data deals, such as SERO and Everything Data. It could be done on a case by case basis. Any accounts that are using "unlimited" data significantly above the average should be allowed no further subsidized upgrades or even forced to switch plans.

The industry just needs to kill off subsidies.

Obamacare should convene "death panels" on subsidy and "unlimited" data.

Too many Republicans would complain about that infringing on business choice. Though technically speaking on the particulars of death panels on technology, they could add a suicide code into devices, such as one if a person used too much data, but then human rights groups would complain.

You are developing a sense of humor.  Maybe there is hope for you after all.

Maybe the announcement is about the arrival of the new Sprint exclusive Sharp Aquos Xx.

It's a neat looking phone, but would Sprint really try to hype up an event to announce that?  Did the original Sharp Aquos sell well?

[smooth25]

Don't know just a guess. Maybe its part of a plan.

I really hope it's more to combat the new amped Jump program.

 

Though that device does look nice.

Notice how they throw out the word unlimited quite often, but it is only talk & text.  Data is extra and is not necessarily unlimited.

It is somewhat a play on "unlimited" to get somebody interested.

[derrph]

So they brought back the my way plan that I currently have. I wonder what for? Not unless they are going the phase out the $50 and $60 unlimited. What it did notice is that this plan had the guarantee but it doesn't say for what services just unlimited. When I signed up it said for talk,text and data.

My Way plans haven't gone away. They just stopped pushing them when Framily and all of the no contract plans came into play.

Look at the T&C's:

 

"Usage Limitations: Other plans may receive prioritized bandwidth availability. Streaming video speeds may be limited to 1 Mbps."

 

 

Makes you think there may be plans in which there is no prioritized bandwidth availability...?

Sprint dropped that recently when they committed to net neutrality. They also emphasized that they never prioritized based on plan. I'm fairly certain that streaming video isn't throttled either because I can stream 1080p YouTube just fine.

Apparently they de-committed on the new unlimited family plan. They are limiting that to 600 kbps for streaming video: http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/7066-Unlimited-family-plan/page__view__findpost__p__427167

not the news bit for tomorrow... 

 

but it seems this is where the $100 for 2 family unlimited plan went to.  Best Buy... 

 

so any news tomorrow on plans I assume would be not as good...

What lasts longer: unlimited data or best buy brick-and-mortar stores?

Marcelo has a big push to simplify plans and consumer offerings, so if this is plan-related, should be interesting to see

If he's in Tokyo today though, will he be around to introduce anything tomorrow?
