Is Verizon Cheaper than Sprint

[RHChan84]

VZW has mobile to mobile but only within the VZW network. But you do have the ability to add 5 numbers to call for free but in a family plan, you have 10 numbers between everyone.

Verizon: 2 lines
- 1400 min, unlimited texts, unlimited data (both lines), 10 family/friends plan
- $110 + $9.99 for 2 lines, then $60 for unlimited data for 2 lines
- %15 discount on $110, additional $20 discount on each data plan (thanks to that sweet data promo)
- total is $123.47 (w/o taxes)

Can Sprint beat that? Genuine question, because if so, I'd switch, I just find it hard to believe.

Sprint

2lines

Both lines get Unlimited:

129$ - a 15% discount = 110$ (w/o taxes)...Less $$$$ and more features....oh and No Data Credits that expire to worry about....

Interesting. Guess I'll start researching Sprint's coverage and phones over the next month. If they get the LG Optimus 2X, then it's an easy decision for sure.

Yeah, the prices look comparable, but when you add up the services, Sprint really does well. I had forgotten about the fact that Sprint also give unlimited GPS, which is a biggie for me, as all four in the house are drivers.

Sprint can be a lot cheaper or a little cheaper then VZW but either way, cheaper.

The only thing I don't understand about "unlimited GPS" is that I had always presumed GPS usage was free on all networks, or at the very least VZW. I don't recall seeing anything about being charged for GPS usage on VZW. Granted, I don't use it much because it drains my battery way too fast and I already have a separate GPS unit for driving, but I do use it occasionally for apps (and driving in the past) and have never been charged for usage.

Also, since Sprint can roam on VZW, is it 3G roaming?

 

[RHChan84]

I use the native Navigation apps on the DX and that's free. It runs off google maps. One of the best phone navigation I have used.

not even close...sprint cheapest out there

 

[TinGodz]

Well, with Sprint's additional $10 data fee, looks like Sprint is no longer a good alternative for me. Same price, same features (save true unlimited mobile to mobile), but better coverage and phones. VZW reigns supreme.

Most would agree that Sprint has the cheapest plans, Maybe not the best coverage in some areas (Very small areas).
