I'd rather use a string and a cup than T-Mobile tho.

So what happens to the folks that already switched to 4g phones and are on unlimited data? It stays the same?

But then again, it's all about making money, so I may be wrong. But for the moment, I enjoy an unlimited plan on my iPhone for under $100.

Sprint will probably change their policy once they make the full conversion to LTE.
But I'm not sure. While Sprint's speeds are slower than other carriers' due to them jumping on the WiMax ship, they still own a large portion of the data routes in the US... it'll be interesting in 3 years (which I think is when they said they plan to have LTE conversion complete.)

The only reason why I am staying with AT&T is because I have "unlimited" data.

Guess people don't see Sprints quarterly losses. They can't afford to carry the iPhone AND let all of its users run ramped w/data usage. Definitely going to restructure in the future to get more out of its plans. They're either putting themselves in a position to be bought out or there is huge magic trick waiting to be performed to resurrect the brand

I've worked with Verizon for 1.5 years and in that time frame they've changed so many things.
Annual upgrades, New Every 2, one year contracts, now the $30 upgrade, getting rid of unlimited data, and now they aren't letting people be grandfathered. SMH
It's funny how this all started happening once the iPhone showed up.

You should be good, the unlimited data may only affect 3G devices when the customer upgrades to a 4G device.
If have a 3G Android device with unlimited data and you plan on sticking with Android get a 4G Android device asap so you won't lose you unlimited data.
If you have a iphone 4 which is a 3G phone and you copped it with a unlimited data plan, the iphone 5 will have 4G(LTE) and once they get rid of the unlimited data plan you will be pushed to a tiered data package.

I agree the slow data is the only real problem with iPhone on Sprint cause the Evo wasn't slow like this. I also wish that I could use the net underground but that's not that big of a deal.Originally Posted by ScarsOrScabs
