T-Mobile putting Sprint to shame
With the ever-expanding smartphone market, the real meat of the situation isn’t always about what phone you have, but at what price you can obtain it, and how the service is. T-Mobile is going right after Sprint and their “Framily” plan now, and it looks like they are coming out way on top.

T-Mobile’s newest family plan, unveiled today, will be $100 per month for four separate lines, and give consumers a total of 10GB of LTE data, or 2.5GB per line. On the flip side, Sprint’s closest “Framily” plan costs $160 per month and offers only 4GB of data total, or 1GB per line.
The unlimited-data “Framily” plan costs $240 a month and an extra $20 per line.
T-Mobile stacks up pretty well in comparison to Verizon and AT&T as well. getting 10 GB of data from those carriers will cost around $160 a month. The only edge Verizon and AT&T customers have, is that data is shared across multiple lines, while T-Mobile restricts data being shared to 2.5GB.
A nice bonus for T-Mobile customers, going over your data doesn’t charge an overage speed, but simply slows down speeds.
As cell phone companies continue to fish in the same pond, it comes down to the most effective and sensible plans for consumers. While everyone can offer the same phones, it is the level of service that matters.
As Sprint and T-Mobile most closely compete with each other, it looks like T-Mobile is going above and beyond to make Sprint look silly. With a poor customer service model, on top of high priced plans, Sprint is going to be looking on having to make their next move in light of the great step for T-Mobile.
