With Sprint you would get 1500 mins, unlimited data, AND unlimited calling to ANY cell number on any carrier for $129.99 a month. That's a total savings of $360 a year, plus you get more anytime minutes and the any mobile calling plan.

Very good point mulhiny but I think a better business practice would be for Sprint to drop the price of the phones some just for the "up front" factor. It's just my opinion but I think why Verizon and US Cellular and AT&T have been doing so well is they offer an "up front" cheap price, your average person doesn't think to add up all those costs they just see that they are getting an Iphone for cheap or a TP2 for cheap ect. and if you look at their stock they are all doing very well for themselves. I stress again I do REALLY like Sprint and I'm not even on a SERO plan or anything just the plain old everything 450 and it does me fine, I recommend Sprint to all my friends and family because I personally have had a good experience with them but I'm just saying I'd like to see them do a little better in the $$ making dept, sure even with cheap plans and cheap phones you aren't making as much profit per customer but if you gain 10 new customers you still end up ahead of the curve. Just my take on it but I appreciate any one's opinion on the matter.
