The inevitable trickle down effect when a carrier makes a fairly radical change to how it provides service to its customers is pretty remarkable. T-Mobile seems to always be the one to poke the bear with something new and, often time, unheard of. In the world of rollover data packages in the prepaid sector though, Verizon was the one that started to push in 2014. Although, at that time the $45 plan with 500MB’s of rollover data was a pretty shallow offering considering you also had to get the BRIDGE DATA which was additional data you paid for but might not have used up. Today Sprint is jumping inline with AT&T and T-Mobile to offer rollover data to their prepaid customers, but they are doing it a little different. Rather than the 30 day roll over cycle that AT&T offers, or the 12 month offering from T-Mobile’s Data Stash, Sprint will let customer who pay on time bank up to 30GBs of data for an indefinite amount of time. At least, for now anyways.
The prepaid offerings from Sprint all offer unlimited talk and text with the base plan landing at $35 with 1GB of data. From there we move to $45 with 3GBs and $55 for 6GBs. Comparing to AT&T which offers $35 with no data, $45 with 1.5GBs and $60 with 4GBs. While T-Mobile offers 1GB for $40, 3GBs for $50 and 5GBs for $60.
The prepaid market certainly seems to be heating up quite a bit and, minus the fact you will have to shell out some major pocket change upfront for a device, is a pretty solid option for any people who are tired of high bills and overage charges.
