Is sprint REALLY cheaper than Verizon?

[The Hustleman]

5 lines on my Sprint plan roughly reach $250 ($246-248) so divided up in to 5 ppl, everyone pays $50...


Not even Metro PCS is cheaper than that! Lol

Sorry ATT and VZW, I don't like to limit myself and pay MORE

You mean you only like to limit your speed, reliability or quality but not your data?

Nope.

Go check out the speed test I just posted in the 'post ur speeds' thread. (Below are two)

I don't limit myself in ANY area.....and pay less than you.

Winning.

So we established Verizon has faster 3g and 4g speeds, is cheaper and has, by far, the largest lte network. What's the debate?

Prrrffff lol sure, anja.
Maybe largest and fastest but not cheapest.

Sprint is wayyy cheaper, less speed but nothing that will break the deal (see my previous post with pics)
Oh, did I mention unlimited?

Have a good day :thumbup:

For those who want the easy road, not willing to use unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE for text and calls, or perhaps think it is to much hassle to assume liability of an unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE line

Oh, I'm on unlimited and cheaper than Sprint's advertised plans... And the chart was showing them as higher. I wouldn't have said it if I thought there was still confusion.

You could assume liability of unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE lines on Verizon, 5 lines would run you as little as $240 per month. You can use the unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE to make calls and send texts unlimited as well.

5 lines on my Sprint plan roughly reach $250 ($246-248) so divided up in to 5 ppl, everyone pays $50...

Sprint advertises unlimited everything for $69.99 per month and then adds $10 for "4G" devices, even when there is no service in the area. That's $79.99 + taxes and fees, no discounts for multiple lines. Assuming taxes, fees and surcharges like every carrier has, 8% or so of the bill, that's about $86.40 per line. You're saying you have 5 lines at $50 each, I have no reason to doubt that's your setup, but that's not what new customers get. My account is $84.60 per person including all the fees, etc, so about $2 less per month than it would be if I went to Sprint.

I wasn't being sarcastic; it sounds like it's a YMMV depending on when you set up the account, etc. but for my area, not only is Verizon the cheapest of the main carriers (only AT&T, Sprint and Verizon exist here), but it's also by far the best service.

New customers can also assume liability of unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE lines on Verizon. Anyone can today assume liability and join 5 lines of service on Verizon?s family plan for $250 with unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE. I am on a loyalty plan, so I can get it for $240. I have 5 lines of service with 2 smartphones including one with unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE and pay $140.

For the service alone. Add in the cost of device it would be much more. If you bought 5 Nexus 4 phones (5*299=1495...divide that by 24.. $62.29) it would be $242.99 per month.

Which puts you at around $250 ish... And with a Nexus 4.if you are like me and want a note 2, that cost would go up a bit. Contract phones go on sale from time to time, the Verizon Note II was $50 a few months ago, so that cost would also have to be factored in, but even so, the cost doesn't go up too much. Or you can get a dna free...

You forgot to subtract the $200 per phone that would normally be paid on-contract. So it's $200 per month.

If you shop smart, and are willing to work a bit, you can usually get deals for quite a bit less. I got my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II for $37 a few months ago. You can get dna for free. You can get the one for free with trade in.

?? Nothing would need to be subtracted. We are talking about the price of Tmobile. If I was giving the price of another service I would include the price of the subsidized phone, but I was not as it was not the question I was answering.
