Beginning May 18, 2012, Sprint is launching two new mobile hotspot add-ons for smart phone and tablet customers. One plan costs $19.99 a month and comes with 2 GBytes of combined 3G/4G on-network data. The other plan costs $49.99 a month for 6 GBytes of combined 3G/4G on-network data.
Additional on-network data usage above the monthly allowance is charged at $0.05 per MByte, , Sprint says
Sprint will be ending its current 5 GByte for $29.99 a month plan. Customers who currently have this mobile hotspot add-on can continue on this plan until they cancel service.
At least in part, the move is expected to entice more users to add the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot feature, since the entry-level plan costs less than previously. The larger plan, at higher cost, might be a way of resetting Sprint pricing more in line with its competition, in terms of value and price.
