Sprint offers to cut competitor rates in half to celebrate LTE Plus Network

Sprint continues to struggle financially and it appears the strain is causing the carrier to take some desperate measures. Sprint has been working on some upgrades to its data network, dubbing it the LTE Plus Network, in order to offer faster speeds than competitors. Yesterday Sprint teased a big announcement for today and the details have now been revealed – to help entice consumers to give the new network speeds a try, Sprint is now offering plans that are 50% of the price of competitors for subscribers who move their service over from AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

Sprint provides several examples of how they will price match at 50% of competitor plans in their announcement. For example, a 2 line T-Mobile plan that includes 10GB of data will only cost $60 per month instead of the $120 that T-Mobile charges. Similar savings are available on Verizon and AT&T where Sprint helps even more by cutting the device access fee in half as well. In addition to the major carriers, Sprint will also offer 50 percent off for Cricket and MetroPCS customers.

The offer is valid for new activations made between November 20, 2015 and January 7, 2016 and the special pricing will remain in effect until January 8, 2018. To make things even more enticing, Sprint is offering to pay switching fees of up to $650 per line through an American Express Reward Card if a customer trades in their old phone.

Sprint also wants to try to take care of their existing customers who are unable to take advantage of this deal, so they are offering existing customers a free tablet with one year of free service if the customer signs up for a two-year contract on the device.
