Hop on the bandwagon and join the four major networks that now have an unlimited plan. Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are the carriers that support this “unlimited plan” in the U.S.

Sprint was the first carrier to make this announcement two weeks ago and has a $119.99 per month plan that includes everything – calls, text messaging, and data.  The rest of the networks followed suit.  Verizon announced early this week that it would also offer an unlimited plan.  Go figure.  Verizon’s plan is $99.99 per month but only covers phone calls.  If you want to have unlimited text messaging and unlimited data, you will have to pay $119.99 per month or $139.99 per month, depending on your plan.  Hours after Verizon made the announcement, AT&T stepped-up and said they too will offer this unlimited plan.  Ironic?  I think not.  AT&T’s unlimited plan, available today, is $99.99 per month and includes only unlimited phone calls.  And last, but certainly not least, T-Mobile (mind you, hours after the first two announcements of the day) made the announcement to have a $99.99 per month unlimited plan that includes phone calls as well as text messaging, which became available yesterday, February 21.

Now that all of the major networks have an unlimited plan with similar rates, maybe they will get into price competition battle and lower the prices for us.  Wishful thinking maybe, but it could happen.
