Sprint Unlimited Data Plan Price Increased

Sprint announced today that it’s raising the price of its unlimited data plan with the change taking effect on October 16th, the price is going to be hiked by $10 so the plan’s new cost will be $70. The carrier is giving customers quite a bit of time to get their hands on the same plan for $60, until the new price goes live on October 16th users can subscribe to the plan for its existing price of $60 per month.

This isn’t really an unexpected move, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure had hinted recently that a price increase for this plan is on the table, but despite the $10 increase Sprint still maintains that its unlimited data plan still costs less than that of T-Mobile, the carrier that recently overtook it to become the country’s third largest mobile carrier.

There’s some truth to Sprint’s claim, T-Mobile’s unlimited data plan costs $80 per month while AT&T and Verizon don’t even offer unlimited data plans, so Sprint is still undercutting T-Mobile when it comes to price alone.

As previously mentioned, the new plan doesn’t go in effect until October 16th so if you don’t want to pay $10 extra for unlimited data on the country’s fourth largest mobile carrier you have ample time between now and then to get on the $60 plan.
