Sprint Plans Guide
Sprint’s wireless plan are made out of two national
plans, the Fair & Flexible and the Free & Clear
plan, and a local/area-wide Free & Clear plan. Sprint
is not as popular as other providers, so the need of mobile-to-mobile
minutes is not as important. They don’t include any
mobile-to-mobile minutes in their plans, but offer unlimited
minutes for an upgrade of $5 a month. |

They
are known for their high quality Vision multimedia package and
plans with included long distance fees, even on local plans. Their
national plan is not very attractive itself due to small nation
wide coverage. What makes it a great deal is the offer to upgrade
to a fixed roaming charge of $5 a month. This allows roaming on
many major provider's networks and is only available for national
plans. They do state that people who use it extensively on a regular
basis will be terminated from this offer (meaning not more than
half your minutes used on roaming).
If your looking to change your phone often, Sprint's CDMA network
might not be the best choice. It would not be as easy as switching
the SIM card of GSM phones, as their phones are locked just for
their network. However, Sprint offers a large variety of phone
manufacturer including less common brands such as Treo, Sanyo,
Toshiba, Panasonic and Audiovox.
The advantage of going with Sprint is that the call quality is
quite good since they use their own cell sites (they are 100%
owned and operated by Sprint). With roaming agreements with many
providers, this allows you to place a call almost anywhere in
America. With the low roaming charges people who travels and makes
a lot of long distance phone calls would find their plans very
economical.
In general, they don't offer very good promotions and competitive
prices for local use. Their customer service is sub par, but we
can call it an average in the cell phone industry.
Overall Rating for this provider: 3.5/5
Theydon't offer a prepaid plan, but we have separated the plans
in to local, national and family. You can refer to the specific
category for more details and our review.
