There are a few benefits to getting older. After T-Mobile last year launched a new unlimited plan for customers aged 55+, Sprint has now done the same …
You get unlimited talk, texts and data. Sprint says a single line costs $50/month, but you can add a second one for just $20, so $35 each for a couple.
You also get free global roaming in 185 countries.
There are some catches. Tethering is limited to 3G speeds, so it would be a pretty painful way to use an iPad or Mac. And there are speed limits for media streaming too, though an extra $10/month per line gets you faster speeds.
Forget tethering beyond 10GB, though – Sprint drops the speed to 2G – yes, two not three.
You can opt-in for a $10 per line per month upgrade and receive 10GB of mobile hotspot plus HD streaming with video streams at up to 1080p resolution, music at up to 1.5Mbps, and gaming at up to 8Mbps.
Seems 55 is the magic age at which you no longer spend your entire life on your phone.
