Verizon to compete with Sprint’s unlimited data plan.
For over a month now the major cell phone carriers have been embarking on their unlimited calling for one price battle. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint all have unlimited voice plans for $99. Notice I did leave out Alltel. I don’t know what they are waiting on, they better get with the program, as I am an Alltel customer paying $111 a month with my smartphone plan. Hint, hint, hint!
Anyway Sprint, who I raked over the coals in a previous post, is trying to do some serious damage in this war by offering unlimited everything. That includes, voice, internet, messaging, and more for $99. Verizon rolled out their plan for $130. My question to Verizon wireless is, “Are you high?”.
My only guess is that since their closest rival, AT&T, only offers unlimited everything for $135, they are only trying to compete with them, and aren’t taking Sprint/Nextel very seriously. Well I got news for the big two, Sprint’s CEO is serious about trying to turn the company around. I haven’t seen any trickle down yet, but their pricing plan may be the first step. If they can get that horrendous customer service together they maybe able to make a comeback before they dump Nextel in 2012.
So my response to Verizon is, you’re going to have to come harder than that!
