Bring your own phone and get one year free talk, text and data (I'm sure there are caps on data).

Free Unlimited

Sounds like a great deal.

Any Sprint users on here? If so, how is/was your experience with Sprint?

Interested, but I wonder what the monthly fees, surcharges and taxes come out to. All they say for sure is that a $1.99 maintenance fee is included in the above.

ETA: Anyone in BR have their $60 unlimited plan? What's your monthly bill?

I've looked into it, and it appears that Sprint has made significant improvements in their network. But, I'm still a little apprehensive about switching.

Service with Sprint, just like any other wireless provider, will vary depending upon where you use it.

For me, it works great. And I have been a customer for 8 years.

As a family, we get unlimited everything for four lines and pay $100 monthly plus fees and taxes.

It's a great value deal for us.

From what I've read on Reddit r/Sprint it'll probably equal to about $10 worth of fees and taxes. I have 2 lines and pay $105 total month.. $90 before taxes and fees..

Yeah, I went ahead and signed up. Hope it's not a fake deal with a ton of hidden, unusual charges.

How much are you paying per month and for what plan? I've been looking into switching from Verizon bc it is so expensive.

What's the Sprint coverage like in the New Orleans area?

I have Verizon Unlimited and I'm happy with it, but I'm paying like $85/month for it, and this Sprint plan pretty much matches my Verizon plan exactly. For a savings of $85/month, I think I'm going to give it a try, but I'm a bit nervous about how the coverage will be.

Sprint's coverage is fine overall. It's their data speeds that are terrible. Sprint can give your excellent speeds but only when your phone is near a cell tower. The spectrum that Sprint uses to deliver super fast speeds is high band spectrum. Unfortunately for Sprint, that high band spectrum can't penetrate buildings as well as mid and low band spectrum. And since Sprint's low and mid band spectrum holdings are very thin, most users experience slow LTE.

Tldr; Sprint signal is fine, but it's just slower than other carriers in more places due to law of physics.

I'm on it now. Was a hassle to sign up for reasons that still escape me, but I'll take it for a free year of unlimited.
