Thats not even a right price for 450 min for Verizon, 450 is 39.99, though this may not scew the end reslut, Try and get your info straight for posting speculation...Another brain mouth filter malfunction for Phone Arena..Another way you pocket for Sprint....Im getting really sick of these tilted results, this site has becomed botched from Phone Arena's obvious Advertising from Sprint...It keeps feeling more and more like Sprint is running this site, and they cant even do that right...

u are idiotic. this chart is WRONG like crazy. 1) 450min plan from vzw is 39.99 2)NOONE buys the 29.99 plan from tmobile, they get the 39.99 plan w/ my faves. 3)TEXTING IS NOT INCLUDED FOR 24.99 on tmobile. 3499 is data and txt unlimited. 4) that seems more like a 4 yr plan for those phones 5)phone pricing listed is not correct for sprint. so lets look at it with correct pricing: cheapest plan w/ unlimited email/internet/txt per carrier VZW- 450min - 89.99 Sprint - 450min 69.99 (new unlimited cell talk plan w/ text/internet) Tmobile-300min Wout/faves 64.99 2 year plan + cell phone price: VZW =2159.76 + 200 =2359.76 Sprint = 1679.76 +320 =1999.76 Tmo = 1559.76 + 350 = 1909.76 tmo w/myfaves = 1799.76 + 350 =2149.76 if you add the myfaves option on tmobile (and who actually gets a plan w/out it?), you add 10 a month or 240 for the contract so VZW = 2360 TMO = 2150 sprint = 2000 which makes best value SPRINT. now add in the difference in the networks, where vzw has by far the best coverage over all and 3g. tmo has the least of both, sprint in the middle. sprint is still a sinking ship though. unless they change things around drastically which it looks like they are trying, they may not be around in 2 yrs to finish ur contract!! :)

true, but if you compare it to sprint's $69.99 450 mn everything data/txt/nav plan... you would also need to choose either verizon's 59.99 SELECT plan or add an unlimited text plan onto their 39.99 VOICE ONLY plan for an EXTRA $20. on top of that the $29.99 data plan needs to be added as well as VZNav for an extra $10 a month. phone arena you guys are yet again morons but the point is till the same, Big Red is expensive as hell and you two above me aren't that sharp either. Bottom line, VZ charges that much cause they can. consumers put value on cost. if something is inexpensive, it equates to cheap. why else do they have over 80,000,000 retards paying out the butt each month. verizon customers are like iphone users... sheep.

Dude what are you talking about, first of all Phone Arena did not write the article, WM Experts did. Secondly, facts are facts, although the price is wrong, the end result is the same, VZW is the most expensive and TMO and Sprint are cheaper, this is NOT NEWS, everyone knows this, HOW is this advertising for Sprint???? They are not even the cheapest. Third, I see an equal amount of positive an negative posts about each network, so obviously, you are a VZW fanboy and it hurts you to hear the truth reported that your beloved carrier is the most expensive, again everyone knew this already. So, shut up and stop crying.

actually, you also have to take into account that vzw has lowered the price of the TP 2 to $169.99 after rebate, so thats an additional $30.00 discount, or one month difference on the data plan costs, looking at the service chart comparison.

alright... the are INDIVIDUAL PLANS T MOBILE with the lowest plan(350 minutes+ data unlimited) is 79.98+text unlimited (14.99) over 2 years is = 2279.28+349.99= 2629.27 SPRINT with the lowest plan (450 minutes+unlimited messages data etc) is 69.99 over 2 years is 1679.76+349.99=2029.75 VERIZON with the plan with data and texts is 69.99 over 2 year is 1679.76+299.99=1979.75 so you can listen to my dumb adding above....or avoid the mess and go like everyone else....iPhone... ATT with 450 minutes, data, and texts unlimited is 89.99 and over 2 years is 2,159.76+199.99(299.99)=2,359.75 (2,459.75) which means ATT is cheaper than tmobile???? can someone help me or explain what i did wrong???

if you know anything about networks in the wireless worls then you would know that sprint and verzion run on the same cdma network so there service would be the same except verizion hasnt launched a 4g network yet so a sinking ship sprint might be but it is getting it boyance back

I've NEVER got India when I call Sprint. If you look around you can get serious discounts for Sprint's bills and phones. Like me thanks to my corporate discount I only paid $170 with no mail in rebates for the Pro 2. My bill is only $70 and now look we have the any mobile option added on. Sprints the best I'll never leave them.

thats good that you are loyal to Sprint and will never leave them...hopefully for your sake they don't drop you since they will probably not last long! Oh and just make sure that majority of your calls/data aren't being used while roaming or else they will drop you for that too!

je2345, wow you are sure ignorant aren't you? I guess your parents did their job.

thats not ignorance...its being smart. I do Sprint port ins all day (quite a few AT&T too), so im actually in the wireless world unlike yourself! I've worked for and had phones wth Sprint, AT&T, and now Verizon and Verizon is by far the best. Yeah their plans are nice and cheap(cheaper now then before) but their service was garbage. Dropped calls left and right and my bill was always HIGHER than it was suppose to be without ever going over. I was always calling into customer service to get it resolved and would never get resolved the right way. I also had a 21% discount off Sprint's monthly service and still left that crappy company. Now days people are obviously looking at ways to save money but most of all get the MOST VALUE for their buck and with Verizon that is where its at!

Actually, je2345, I work for VZW and it sounds like you do also, but we both know that Sprint is VERY comparable to VZW in terms of voice coverage and certainly better when it comes to data, although I do give the edge to VZW in voice. I will give it to you VZW and TMO cant be compared as VZW has a much larger network. Just report the facts straight, dont be such a fanboy, its not like VZW is THAT much better than Sprint.

Sorry my family has already been thru that issue where my cousin somehow was always roaming. Well this goes for any company if your dumb enough to let a phone company drop you due to roaming when it's including in the plan its called reading the fine print. It also helps to have a lawyer in the family too. Why do you think Sprint had the lawsuit against them for early termination fees? That's because smart people like my family read and understand our rights. I am loyal to Sprint but I'll point out my grips. Like Sprint changes phones too fast and yes there customer service sucks but learn to bully them around an you'll get your way.

umm, just for reference, noone touches vzw in both voice or data. vzw has about 87% population coverage in voice/data services. sprint may be #2 when it comes to that at around 75-80%, but they sure dont overtake vzw on any category. you want the best, you pay the premium, and many people want the best. its called saftey for their family. they are willing to pay a little extra to ensure that their phones for their kids will work wherever they may end up, unlike the other networks where you have big holes n coverage but you save a few bucks. if you want comparisons, vzw is like the Macy's of cell phones, ATT is like a Dillards/Sears, Sprint/Tmo are like target/walmart. Ive worked for both VZW and Tmo so i know this industry well from top to bottom :) not everyone can afford the finest. thats ok. keep trying. no need to call someone names because they can though. if everyone had the "best" then it would just be average.

There was already an article on here about VZW and Sprint data services. Sprint had surpassed VZW for data.

I have to give props to the first VZW person i've seen thats rational and not a fanboy. Most VZW and iPhone posters are fanboys. Way to keep to the facts, but I disagree with you on voice coverage. Sprint has better clarity but not as much penetrations but that is, of course, a function of frequency (1900 vs 800).
