All 3 of the big cell phone providers has recently added a somewhat reasonable unlimited voice plan to their list of plans. Thats good news, and I’m going to go through all 3.

ATT’s plan was the first one I noticed (dont know if it is the first one announced) but the price of the plan is $99.99 a month. Unlimited voice and everything that goes along with voice such as voicemail, long distance etc. Unlimited voice plans are something that I thought would’ve happened a long time ago but it hasn’t. Just when my excitement about ATT’s plan was kicking in, I decided to check out Verizon.

Verizon’s plan is basically the same as ATT. $99.99 a month for unlimited calling. There is also other tiers that adds unlimited txt messaging ($99.99) and another tier that adds the txt messaging and data features ($139.99). This now brings me  to Sprint.

Sprint has blown everyone out of the water with thier plan. At Sprint, for the same $99.99 a month you get unlimited voice, txt messages and data.

The good thing about this is that the flood gates are open, everyone has a unlimited plan. Now we sit back and wait, competition will eventually lower the prices even more.

The family plans are what I have a problem with. If you head over the the family plans and check out the prices…well look for yourself

Sprint-Unlimited-Family-Plan

ATT-Unlimited-Family-Plan

If you cant see the pictures, heres how it goes.

  • ATT’s single unlimited plan is $99.99. The family plan is $199.99 for 2 lines and $99.99 each additional line.
  • Verizon’s single unlimited plan is $99.99. The family plan is $199.99 for 2 lines and $99.99 each additional line.
  • Sprint is a little better but not much. The single unlimited plan is $99.99. The family plan is the same $99.99 per person but you get a small discount per person. $5 for 2, &15 for 3, etc

What is up with the non discount family plans. The funny thing is that they actually have a separate listing under family plans but the price is no different. its not a family plan. Its just multiple single plans.
