The new Sprint Family Share Pack plans, which basically eliminate the very short-lived Framily plans, will double the amount of data plan subscribers get without raising the price.

Now, the $160 per month plan that would normally give users 10GB of data to share across four lines is now increased to a very nice 20GB of data. In terms of comparison, Verizon and AT&T still off just 10GB of data for $160 per month.

“Sprint is offering the best value to data-hungry consumers,” said Claure. “We are doubling the high-speed wireless data because today’s customers rely so much on their smartphones and tablets. We make it simple and easy for wireless consumers to get the data they need at affordable prices to make their lives easier, more productive and enjoyable.”

To celebrate the launch of this new pricing structure, Sprint is offer new users unlimited talk & text as well as 20GB of shared data for just $100 per month for up to 10 lines. This promotion lasts through 2015, but only for plans created between August 22, 2014 and September 30, 2014.
