On October 16th, 2015, Sprint's unlimited data plan will get a $10 rate hike going from $60/month for unlimited talk, text, and data to $70/month. As the plan stands now, Sprint offers the lowest rate among the 4 major national carriers for unlimited 4G LTE data. T-Mobile's unlimited ((T-Mobile calls unlimited 23 GB before data prioritizing)) plan costs $80/month while AT&T and Verizon do not offer unlimited data plans. The new price allows Sprint to increase its profits while still remaining one of the cheapest options for unlimited data among all carriers and MVNOs.
Current Sprint customers will be grandfathered in and this will be able to keep the $60 promotional rate plan.
