Sprint Announces its New Broadband Plan Offering More Data at Lower Prices

Sprint has announced the launch of its latest 3G/4G mobile broadband plans. One of the nation’s largest wireless and wireline communications services provider claimed that the plan has been designed to deliver more data at lower prices than similar plans from national competitors.

The new plans, which replace all previously available Mobile Broadband plans, are available to new and existing customers through all Sprint sales channels, Sprint announced in a press release.

According to the company, the new plans deliver 20 percent more data for the same price as similar plans from Verizon and AT&T. Under the new plan, the company is going to offer 6GB of combined on-network 3G/4G data usage for $49.99 per month. Customers can also choose the plan that offers 12GB of 3G/4G data usage for $79.99 per month. 

As compared to Verizon and AT&T’s $50/5GB plans, the new plan is offering an extra 1GB of data to the Sprint customers subscribing to the new $49.99/6GB plan. The plan will enable the subscribers to view approximately 6,667 additional Web pages, 2,000 more photos or 67 extra YouTube videos each month, the company explained.

Sprint further mentioned that the $49.99/6GB and $79.99/12GB plans are compatible with all Mobile Broadband devices sold by Sprint, including tablets, dedicated mobile hotspot devices, USB modems, netbooks and notebooks.

A new plan is on the card for tablets and dedicated mobile hotspot devices, Sprint reveled. Under this plan, Sprint will be offering 3GB of 3G/4G data usage at a price of $34.99 per month.

In addition there will be another new plan for tablets priced at $19.99 per month for 1GB of 3G/4G data usage.

“Sprint is committed to delivering exceptional value to its customers, and our new 3G/4G Mobile Broadband plans are the latest example of that,” said Will Souder, vice president of pricing for Sprint. “Sprint gives customers more data at lower prices than competitors, so they can do more with their mobile broadband devices on Sprint’s 3G and 4G networks.”

Recently, Sprint reported another milestone in delivering critical and reliable communication services to consumers during crisis situations by becoming the first U.S. carrier to offer Wireless Emergency Alerts on its mobile network.

Wireless Emergency Alerts allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to accept and deliver warning messages to wireless networks from the president of the United States, the National Weather Service and state and local emergency operations centers. 

Sprint customers will be able to effectively and accurately receive warnings and safety information via text alerts to mobile phones that are equipped with the enabling software and based on their geographic location, the company informed.
