I read my bill wrong earlier, it is still just $79.99 they just itemize it so it shows up as $69.99 + $10.00. Sprint coverage is very good in Atlanta, I get LTE almost everywhere and I'm a power user so I need the unlimited data. Sprint may not be for everyone but its perfect for me.

I think it just depends on your needs. For my needs, Verizon is cheaper than Sprint. I have 5 lines of service, 2 smartphones, 1 with unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE, and 3 dumb phones and am paying $140 before taxes and discounts on the family plan.

$40 - 550 minute account access charge
$50 - $10 per line a line access charge
$30 - unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE on one line
$20 - 300mb on one line

Sprint does indeed offer more, but on stuff that I don't need. However, if you go unlimited everything, then yeah, Sprint would be cheaper. Really, just depends on your needs.

My plan on Sprint comes out to $93 bucks a month on everything data including the extras such as TEP and fees minus my 23% discount from my work. Now remember, each states taxes are different so the bill is going to vary. It is 69.99 plus $10 premium fee which is 79.99 a month. I think someone forgot abot TEP which is $11 a month if you added it on your line.

Sprint is cheaper for a single line but more expensive for multiple. See this chart:

If your main concern is heavy data, you should get a verizon unlimited data plan, which may cost money, but may pay off in the long run. Also, the spreadsheet has an error where it says Verizon is $20 for 2 gb over 10gb, Verizon is $10 per 2 gb after the first 2gb,up to 20gb.

Harder to get a unlimited data plan when they don't offer it anymore... You'd have to ebay a line.

Thought so..

I was about to say there is no way Sprint is charging you guys 79.99 then 10 more but me 69.99 and then the fee .

It is harder for sure, but for heavy data users, it might be worth it.

Agreed, whatever plan is best for the person/family should be the one they go with. It is going to vary person to person. Sprint is best for me and I see no reason I should leave them.

Let you in on a little secret. Those bars aren't related to the 4G signal strength. It is related to the gsm phone call signal strength. Now if you look at the pic I post you will notice a number in the top left. That is my 3g signal strength.

I have 3 family lines with Sprint and pay around $205 a moth with taxes,

I have 1 line with VZW. 450 Minutes, 4GB data (double data promo), unlimited txt/mms for about $101.90 a month.

While I could easily move that line back to Sprint and pay $40 a month (saving myself $60 a month), I like being able to actually use my phone for calls and data. Unlimited means nothing if you cant take full advantage of 4G or 3G. Plus, Sprints Advance Data Fee of $10 (was for wimax before, then they made it apply to literally every smartphone) makes me say "if I can't use advanced data and messaging due to the network, why am I paying a fee?

When my account was setup years account, I was put on an Account Spending Limit (ASL), Early 2011, Sprint started charging $5 a month for these accounts "if" you don't setup auto bill pay with them. I called and complained andat first they said no.In late 2012, I moved one line to Verizon and told the the ASL charge was simply being greedy. Three months later they finally removed it.

As it stands, I have discounts with Sprint, ATT and VZW. I am approved for 5 lines with both VZW and Sprint).

At the moment, I am a bit upset with VZW (another thread another day). All carries add charges and fees for crap. Like a fee for a "Detailed bill". Or a fee for not geting a bill electronically.

So, to anser the OP, in my case, Icould have all 4 lines with Sprint and pay $62 or so a month LESS. But the real question is " If I am unhappy with the coverage , why not pay more for more reliable service?

You do know you can have 3 lines on Verizon for 200 before the discount is applied right? Same price

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...


Not even Metro PCS is cheaper than that! Lol

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