AT&T opened some eyes the other day when they announced they’d be offering double data for family plans until the end of October, and now one carrier wants to match that deal. Sprint is offering double data for their Family Share Pack plans starting at the 32GB level and business customers starting at 40GB.
Sprint’s move is directly in response to AT&T’s, and they made it clear by mentioning their plans now double AT&T’s plans AFTER the original doubling… for the same price. So here’s how it breaks down in case you’re confused:
Family Share Pack:
- 32GB becomes 60GB for $130
- 40GB becomes 80GB for $150
- 60GB becomes 120GB for $225
Business Share:
- 40GB becomes 80GB for $135
- 60GB becomes 120GB for $200
- 80GB becomes 160GB for $270
- 100GB becomes 200GB for $330
Like AT&T’s offering, the double data promotion will be available until the end of October, and customers will be entitled to the increased pool of bits and bytes until they opt to cancel service or change plans. Sprint’s unique bit is that they’ll be waiving the monthly access charge of $10 per month, per line through 2015 so you’re saving even more money. Not a bad way to get people to try out the new wheels of your network while it’s still getting flogged via social media and word of mouth.

Double the data that’s extremely slow and spotty.
This is good for consumers. This should put some pressure on Verizon offer similar and T-mobile who is enjoying good growth to increase data usage offer and number of lines per family plan..
Nice gesture SPRINT,about as useful as a hot check………………………….
Looks like VZW has jumped on the bandwagon :

Try adding more phones Sprint… If you want to catch up with AT&T you’ll need more of a variety. Plus better service.
Just remember, Sprint started this family data pack war. Verizon and AT&T have responded. Phandroid’s favorite T-Mo still chirping like a cricket.
It is nice to see mobile carriers compete with each other like this to give more to the customer. Heck of a departure from what used to be just about a year ago.
My service and speeds were fine with Boost Mobile my LTE was almost as fast as my home speeds of 20mbps/10mbps my gripe with them was the low 2.5gb of lte data. I hopped over to my parents plan on verizion and we have 12gb to share among us which is a lot better for us in a month.
Last time i checked. Double of 32GB isnt 60GB
Last I checked even intelligent, knowledgeable people don’t care about minor math errors (or spelling errors, for that matter). What matters to you and I may very well mean nothing to others.
Most people would kill for an extra 4GB of data
or if your on the prepaid side of sprint, boost is doing the same with 10gb for $55, not too bad either.
