Sprint can legally change your plan at any time. Your only recourse if you're under contract is to get out of the contract with no early termination penalty. Else you can always leave Sprint.

HOWEVER, it seems that Sprint doesn't seem to change the major terms of plans if one stays with the same phone... but there are no guarantees that this will not change in the future.

I don't know if this answers your question, but unless a person is an executive at Sprint, I don't think anybody in the forum can guarantee "no changes in the near future." But when people state that "Sprint will not change your plan, period, if you don't change phones" it is only based on prior experience... as with the disclosures in all mutual fund prospecti, "past performance is not an indication of future performance" Sprint can change that unwritten policy if it wants to.

Looking at the trends of Pre-paid plan pricing with Virgin Mobile (which uses Sprint's Network) it would be highly unlikely that Sprint would raise contract customers' service fees without a massive loss of subscribers.
