There were rumors that Sprint was about to respond to the Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile unlimited plans that were recently unveiled, and now it’s official: 

Sprint has announced the Simply Everything plan, which offers unlimited voice and data along with text, email and GPS.  This differs from the other carriers’ plans, which were for unlimited voice, with data plans that could be added on.  Here is an excerpt from Sprint’s press release:

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In an industry-defining move, Sprint (NYSE:S) today announced it will launch a domestic unlimited pricing plan that gives customers unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, Sprint TVSM, Sprint Music, GPS Navigation, Direct Connect® and Group Connect® for $99.99 a month. The new pricing plan is available to existing and new customers beginning tomorrow.

This raises (or should I say lowers!) the bar considerably.  Another key point: existing customers can opt for the new plan without having to extend their existing contract.   That is cool.

Hot on the heels of the Verizon unlimited calling plan announcement, AT&T and T-Mobile have announced flat rate plans as well.

 AT&T’s plans will be available to new and existing customers for $99.99/mo (unlimited voice calling).  This would be in addition to any data plan.  Existing customers can choose unlimited calling without extending their contract.  This offer goes into effect on Feb 22. For the complete menu of their voice and data offerings, go to AT&T.

T-Mobile will also offer a $99.99 plan - this one includes unlimited nationwide calling and messaging and goes into effect Feb 21.  Details will be found on T-Mobile’s site soon.
