Sprint $60 Unlimited Call Plans ?

Sprint $60 Unlimited Call Plans ? Following on the heels of the unlimited calling plan announcements from the big-dogs in the US wireless landscape, we're hearing on the grapevine that Sprint might be planning to undercut the industry with a super low-price unlimited wireless plan. Apparently, analysts are expecting Sprint to "offer flat-rate calling plans at up to a 40 percent discount to its rivals" - bringing unlimited wireless minutes into the $60 range for Sprint customers. Can you say "price war?"

A $60 flat-rate calling plan from Sprint is definitely good for the consumer, but what about Sprint's prospects as the No. 3 national carrier? Well, there is belief that a $60 unlimited plan could mean that "Additional downside in the shares likely exists if Sprint launches an unlimited plan for $60 per month — a real possibility given the current state of competition."

If Sprint charges $60 for unlimited calling, AT&T and Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc will likely have to follow suit - a win-win situation for customers. They should cut their prices or face losing customers.
