I was curious which Sprint plan you were looking at that costs $80 a month? Their 450 minute plan is $69.99 a month.
By the way, I was comparing prices between Sprint & Verizon and found that one of the latest posts on this thread was extremely helpful as I can get 500 minutes and unlimited data & test for $59.99 a month on Sprint.

Check it out as it is a great deal and many posters have taken advantage of it when they switched from other carriers to Sprint.
