When they introduced their $ 99 voice plans, I wrote AT&T Wireless and Verizon would have to do better.
Sprint just did - $ 99 for voice AND messages, data, G.P.S. and TV broadcasts.
I expect AT&T and Verizon will likely:
a) spread FUD about Sprint's financial viability b) hold customers to threats of 2 year contracts c) match it with 14 pages of fine print d) offer it if you sign up for other bundles that include FiOS, DSL, hotspot, long distance
Seriously, guys $ 89.99 a month is much more realistic price for the bundle Sprint is offering. $ 79.99 for just unlimited voice and data. And $ 59.99 a month for unlimited voice only.
And, btw, most consumers would be ok if you put some language against use of unlimited time towards baby or other monitoring.
