Sprint continues to outshine the competition with extended unlimited data freebies

Sprint’s self-proclaimed best-in-industry Black Friday wireless offer is back on for an unspecified “limited time”, and ironically, its sole purpose is to make it easier and especially cheaper to enjoy truly unlimited service until January 31, 2018.

Once again, you’re asked to pay $60 for your first line of unlimited data, talk and text, $40 for the second one, and nothing for the third, fourth and fifth members of your family or circle of very close friends. Not a single dime. Nada.

All in all therefore, a clan of five “Now Network” subscribers merely need to cough up $100 a month, which is $60 less than T-Mobile’s best similar offer, and can save you up to a whopping $120 every 30 days when switching away from AT&T. Verizon? There’s probably nothing Sprint likes more than to remind us Big Red’s customers “aren’t even offered the opportunity to sign up for a plan with unlimited data.”

That might be so, but of course, you also have to consider device prices, monthly payment plans, coverage, network reliability and speed before settling on one of America’s four major carriers. Or maybe you’d like to give an underdog a helping hand en route to nationwide fame and mainstream popularity.

Sprint hits back at T-Mobile with free third, fourth and fifth line of unlimited service

The US wireless service provider wars are back on for the holidays, with T-Mobile and Sprint’s customers emerging as their true, big winners.

If the extended four-lines-for-the-price-of-two Magenta Friday deal failed to sell you on the UnCarrier’s controversial ONE plan, The Now Network claims to have the “industry’s biggest, best Black Friday offer”, as well as the “boldest offer in wireless history”, in store now.

This not just lets you save a boatload of cash on a third, fourth and fifth Unlimited Freedom line, but outright gives away unlimited data, talk and text for free to three members of a family of five. Until January 31, 2018, that is, and only if you act quickly. No, not that quickly. You have until December 1 to decide if you can do better.

Spoiler alert – you can’t, as Sprint’s heavily discounted bill will total $100 a month for two, three, four or five lines, while a single unlimited everything account, also including 5GB mobile hotspot data, still costs $60.

“Compared to the competition, Sprint could literally save wireless customers hundreds of dollars a month”, says its chief marketing officer, Roger Solé, and for once, that doesn’t appear to be just carefully concocted advertising propaganda. It’s an undoubtedly sweet promo, joining a Galaxy S7 BOGO program, Tab E freebie, half-price HTC Bolt deal, LG phone/TV bundles, and accessory markdowns for Black Friday.

Sprint officially gets the Unlimited Freedom show on the road

Could it be a coincidence that Sprint successfully completed its Unlimited Freedom market trials just as T-Mobile surprisingly decided to pull the plug on data plans altogether in one of the boldest Un-carrier moves yet?We think not, and the Now Network might be trying to beat Magenta at its own game, raining on the ONE parade with an arguably cheaper two-line unlimited everything scheme. For only $100 a month, ...
