Sprint Limits More Unlimited Plans, Smartphones Spared

Sprint confirmed last month that beginning October 2nd, unlimited mobile hotspot plans would become limited mobile hotspot plans, affording users of the optional smartphone add-on 5GB of tethering data per month.  Now, Sprint has added a second service to the unlimited data cemetery: mobile broadband.

Keep up with the latest technology news on the FOX Business Technology Facebook page.

“If you have a mobile broadband device such as a tablet, netbook, notebook, USB card, connection card or Mobile Hotspot device, effective beginning with your next bill following notification, your on-network monthly data allowance will no longer include unlimited 4G,” Sprint said on its website.

Starting next month, Sprint will offer three new mobile broadband plans that cap users at 3GB, 5GB or 10GB of combined 3G and 4G data per billing period depending on their plans.

Additional data will be charged at $0.05 per megabyte, and the same overage charge applies to mobile hotspot plans.

A table outlining the new plans follows below.
