Sprint’s new CEO Marcelo Claure, said that big changes were coming, and they just announced a new monthly plan, that will give you 20GB of Data for only $100 a month! Sprint is saying that they will offer double the high-speed data and undercut both AT&T and Verizon Wireless with their new Family Share Pack plans. This new plan will be available starting August 22nd, this coming fir day, and will give you 20GB of shared data for up to 10 lines for $100 a month. With this new Family Share Pack the Sprint Framily era is now over.

Through 2015, Sprint will be offering limited-time promotion for the Sprint Family Share Pack, you will get 20GB of Share Data and Unlimited Talk and Text for only $100 a month for up to 10 lines. Plus, you will get an additional 2GB per line for up to 10 lines, giving you even more data to use and share. This means that if you have 4(four) lines on the Family Share Pack you will be paying $100 a month and you will get 28GB of share data, but with 10(ten) lines you get 40GB of data to share. 

Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO, is saying that they make it simple and easy for wireless consumers to get the data they need at affordable prices to make their lives easier, more productive and enjoyable. Further more he stated that they are so certain that this is the best value on wireless today that for any customer who wants to switch to our new Sprint Family Share Pack, we will reimburse them for the cost to end their contract with another carrier. It seems that are following T-Mobile’s idea here and as they will buy you out of your contract. In that they will give you up to $350 on a Visa prepaid card for your ETF(Early Termination Fee) when you switch to Sprint.

Overall, these new plans seem to be showing that Sprint is trying to get back in the game and are trying to make bold moves like T-Mobile did. While there are some catches with these limited time offers, for instance having to get your device via Easy Pay and that the access charges are waived until 2015, they still show a new direction for Sprint. And if you do sign up while these offers are still here, Sprint is saying you can save up to $60 a month, which is not pocket change. As Marcelo said, Sprint is not making bold moves, and while this is their new Family plan, new individual plans should be coming later this week.

It’s a New Day for Data for American Consumers

Sprint Doubles the Data

Sprint introduces new shared data plans that offer double the high-speed data at the same or lower price as compared to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless
 
For a Family up to 10 lines, get 20GB of Shared Data and Unlimited Talk & Text  for only $100 a month 
It really doesn’t matter if your family is 3, 5, or 10 people, you will get at least 20GB of shared data and your monthly charge will be $100
 
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Aug. 18, 2014 – It’s a new day for data in the wireless industry as Sprint (NYSE: S) announces the Sprint Family Share Pack – a new shared-data plan that offers double the high-speed data at a lower price than AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
 
Consumers today are using wireless data at an exponentially increasing pace and expect data to be a part of their lives – whether they are using Facetime, connecting with friends on Facebook, uploading pictures on Instagram, or sharing them on Snapchat.  Wireless customers, however, are frustrated by low data allowances with immediate data overages and complicated monthly bills. Now after rolling out its network improvements, Sprint can end these frustrations and provide the best value for consumers with the introduction of the Sprint Family Share Pack.
 
The Sprint Family Share Pack, offering double the high-speed shareable data1 for smartphones, basic phones, tablets and mobile broadband devices, will be available starting Aug. 22. For example you can get four lines and 20GB of data for $160 compared to 10GB of data for the same price from AT&T or Verizon.
 
But wait, there’s more. To kick off Sprint’s “new day for data” campaign, Sprint is offering a limited-time promotion for the Sprint Family Share Pack: For a family with up to 10 lines, get 20GB of Shared Data and Unlimited Talk & Text for only $100 a month through 20152 – and, as an added bonus, customers will get an additional 2GB per line for up to 10 lines. For a family of four, that’s a savings of $60 per month better than AT&T’s and Verizon’s current pricing through 2015; double the data of Verizon; and more than double the high-speed data of AT&T and T-Mobile. 
 
For example: 

Sprint Family Share Pack  Limited-Time Promotion
Price	# of lines	Data	Additional 2GB per line	Total Data for # of lines
$100	4	20GB	2GB x 4 lines	28GB
$100	10	20GB	2GB x 10 lines	40GB

 
“Sprint is offering the best value to data-hungry consumers. Period,” said Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “We are doubling the high-speed wireless data because today’s customers rely so much on their smartphones and tablets. We make it simple and easy for wireless consumers to get the data they need at affordable prices to make their lives easier, more productive and enjoyable. We are so certain that this is the best value on wireless today that for any customer who wants to switch to our new Sprint Family Share Pack, we will reimburse them for the cost to end their contract with another carrier.”
