Sprint's 450 minute plan costs $69.99, T-Mobile's 500 minute plan (with unlimited messaging and smartphone data) costs $59.99 with no contract.

huh becouse what I see is

Unlimited Talk + Text + Web $79.99 Unlimited T-Mobile to T-Mobile calling

Thats the plan that matches Sprints "450" because its no longer the "450" plan its unlimited talk, text, web with Sprint and 450 minuets only get used for land lines. Thats free talk to any phone that's not land line.

Correct but he isnt comparing to the right plan. The 500 min plan isnt equal to Sprints 450. You cant compare the 2

It's not unlimited with Sprint, lol. It's unlimited to cell phones (which ironically does not include checking your voice mail) but you still pay for land lines- which most business still use.
450 minutes on Sprint is $69.99. 500 minutes on T-Mobile is $59.99. Both include unlimited messaging and smartphone data. Sprint requires a 2 year contract, T-Mobile does not require a contract at all.

You asked who could match or beat it, well T-Mobile is $10 cheaper. And they still have faster data, better customer service, and the ease of SIM cards. They also have better phones than Sprint currently has.

Yes it is, lol. It's actually 50 more mionutes than Sprint's 450 minute plan.

You can't call most businesses with free cell phone minutes, they use land lines (or VOIP, which counts as a land line). I text most people with cell phones anyway, rather than calling.

T-Mobile's plan is absolutely comparable to Sprint's.

I dont use minuets when checking VM and you still cant compare the 2. Its unlimited to any cell compared to unlimited TM-TM. Thats not matching and def not beating it. and they def dont have a faster network. They do have way better customer service though and that does say a lot and the phone thing.....all I have to say is Evo.

They do have a faster network, where have you been? lol. T-Mobile's HSPA+ is 21 megs, Sprint's 4G is only 10 megs.
And yes, voice mail does take your minutes. You might want to check that again.

The plans are comparable man. Like I said, every business out there has a land line. So unlimited calls to cell phones only helps most people when they call their friends. Well i, like most on this board I'm sure, mostly text my friends. When I call someone, it is almost always a business (or the wife or kids, who are on my family plan anyway so those calls would be free either way).

No matter how you spin it, 500 minutes on T-Mobile is absolutely comparable to 450 minutes on Sprint. And at $10 per month cheaper, one could easily argue that it matches it or even beats it.

Oh yeah, and as for the phones- T-Mobile has the Nexus One and HD2 right now. They have also said they will be launching phones made specifically for their HSPA+ network before the end of the year. And the HD2 is the same thing as the Evo, only it's running Win Mo instead of Android.

Only falls short to the ignorant. Again, most people with smartphones text people with cellphones anyway. But you can't text most businesses. And most businesses have land lines.

So if you are a smartphone user, T-Mobile's plans are as good or even better than Sprint's.

And don't take my word for it, just take a look at the quarterly financials for each company. Sprint continues to lose customers while T-Mobile continues to gain customers.
