    I think AT&T and T-Mobile each just lost about 80% of their customer base! This what iPeople have always wanted: an iPhone with Unlimited Data, Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text.

    • Rockland211

      Except AT&T is the only one with an iPhone HSPA+ which will show as 4G in the bar in the coming months. Not LTE  but def not 3G. So still… only AT&T customers can talk and surf at the same time.

    I don’t know why everyone keeps reporting on this like it’s big news. Sprint has had unlimited data plans for smart phones and have said they don’t see that changing anytime soon.

    • Anonymous

      Because it’s what the iPeople have always wanted and never had: unlimited everything! Personally, I think Sprint’s Customer Service sucks ballz so, I would not subject myself to the indignant torture again [dangle preposition]…

      Moreover, I would choose the EVO 3D (if I had to be on outsourced Sprint; thank GOD and Budha I do not) over the current iPhone 4 or the all-new iPhone 4S (and, not simply cuz’ it’s an Android device but, based on the fact that it is a far superior device than the latter two)!

      VZW and ATT don’t have unlimited data plans at all anymore…

    This will last for about three months when they find that users are eating up their network it will go bye bye. Guarantee it.

    • Aaron

      Even if that were the case, whoever purchased the iPhone would likely be grandfathered in.

      For once, you might be correct but, at least, the thousands of iPeople that jump on that outsourced Spr¡ntSh¡pSh¡t will be iGrandfathered!

        Outsourced? What are you talking about? Sprint has brought everything in again, and in case you have been living under a frigging rock, has won JD Powers most improved Customer Service awards the last 2 years.

      • Anonymous

        That JD Powers thing: paid for!!

        FYI: I had the original EVOOOO day 1, June 4, 2010, and I only ever reached outsourced call centers where Singh Chowdhury (male) couldn’t explain what Fatima Chowdhury (female) had told me in previous calls. It’s too bad that their call centers suck because their Voice and Data networks are quite good; way better than AT&T and markedly better than T-Mobile.

      • http://www.facebook.com/DIVCorp Corey Fisher

        Sprint only has a few out-sourced centers, far less then any other carrier, for sure. I have only ever reached American’s over the several years and calls that I have made.

      If that is the case then you can say goodbye to Sprint, unless they have significantly larger data cap than competitors.

      Android. It’s Android. Droid is a brand name for phones on Verizon. It’s Android.

      Working as a phone salesman for a competing company, I get people every day telling me they want “One of them Droid phones!” When I tell them about our collection of Android phones, they scoff at me like I’M the idiot.

    Fair use small print, anyone?

  • Joe

    I am surprised no one has commented on the lack lister coverage sprint offers.

    • Meiners95

      Lackluster

    • No smarter than you

      Sprints coverage is lackluster at best. VZ 3g > SPRINT 4g

      There….

      • http://www.facebook.com/DIVCorp Corey Fisher

        Not really, they have the second largest 3g network in the country and if your not in Sprint coverage you can usually roam off the roaming alliance (which includes VZW and many other CDMA carriers)… so toss that bs out the window. Not to mention that Network VIsion, when complete will map the entire country in 4g lte and 3g, it will be 800 sq miles more coverage then AT&T!!!

  • JC

    I don’t understand why everyone thinks the iphone will kill unlimited data? VZW and ATT just used that as an excuse…Sprint sells more android phones than any of the other carriers and they use MORE data than iphones. Also you will start to see more 4g markets released which will free up 3g data in large markets. I can guarantee you that Sprint will keep unlimited data for quite sometime. That is the company strategy….all you have to do is watch all of their commercials for the last 6 months.

      Spectrum and bandwidth.

      Even Dan Hesse has stated that this would always be under review in the future. If they add the subs they hope to it would affect every customer on the network and at some point it would need tighter control. I guess the assumption is that the iPhone could tip the balance for Sprint, time will tell.

      • http://www.facebook.com/DIVCorp Corey Fisher

        Not exactly, he said they will monitor data levels, but with their spectrum holdings, they have FAR more bandwidth then both VZW and AT&T, so unlimited data isn’t a big issue to them at this point. I think it will be a very long time before they limit data…

    • Willie

      Wow! All your points are very wrong. Do your homework please.

        Are you suggesting that us Goofans (aka Apple Haters) don’t know how to use the web?  Or perhaps that Android, due to its awesomeness and openness and freedom, has figured how to turn 1GB into 1MB?  I wouldn’t be surprised since Google is the most powerful entity in the history of human kind.  So please do tell. I am referring to the fact that you are suggesting that Android users (the smartest people on the planet, if not the universe) use less data than the morons of the world (iPhone users.)

  • justin

    untested waters these are for sprint – great mystery the future holds for these plans – yoda

  • A_g_ness

    I’m a Verizon custumer with a grandfathered unlimited data plan, however it is my belief that what At&t and Verizon are doing to the poor folks who are getting ripped off with a tiered plan is completely wrong! Therefore I’m really hoping that Sprint does extremely well in terms of adding new custumers and being able to keep offering the unlimited data to it’s customers just to see At&t and Verizon reactions. Go Sprint!

  • Anonymous

    Their unlimited data plans won’t last. Look what happened to me on AT&T and at Verizon got rid of theirs

    • Mpossoff

      What do you mean? If you had unltd data you are grandfathered.

      What did they do to you?

    • Nyynke98

      Thats because neither of them have the spectrum assets Sprint has.

  • http://www.thegadgetgurus.net Vic

    Unlimited data with the shittiest data speeds out of all the major carriers…no thanks.

  • Anonymous

    THe only thing about Sprint getting the iphone is it is going to suck on Sprint. They will tone it done just like Verizon did so it can function ok. ANd it’s not 4G so you can throw talking and surfing out the window, that’s only available on Sprint’s 4G. But att on the other hand can talk and surf on 3G, and it’s not toned down like the Verizon iphone 4.

  • Southpaw

    This would be exciting if I didn’t have to stand in the middle of my front yard to make a call on a Sprint phone. It’s sad too, because I live right in Nashville..A 4G city

  • Brad

    Unrelated- just talked to AT&T and found out noboby with iPhone 4 qualifies for subsidized pricing at the start. November is the earliest upgrade date availability. Was news to me- change of policy. They tried that once, wasn’t too big a hit….

  • just saying

    I have AT&T and I was able to transfer my unlimited data plan with the pre order.
