Sprint Redefines "Everything"; Raises Smartphone Data Fees

Sprint has announced that subscribers activating smartphones on its network on or after January 30, 2011 will need to subscribe to a $10 Premium Data add-on feature.  Previously, this add-on was only required for 4G phones. For those considering Sprint, particularly those interested in a 3G smartphone, we suggest signing up before January 30.  Otherwise, you’ll be on the hook for an extra $240 over your two year contract.  Compare Sprint rate plans and cell phones here.

How to Reduce Cell Phone Data Charges

All the major cell phone carriers require data plans for smartphones purchased from them. Until recently, it was one-size-fits-all, with each carrier offering an unlimited or nearly unlimited data plan for $30 a month. AT&T,  T-Mobile, and Verizon have now gone to tiered data pricing, with a lower-priced data plan offering.   T-Mobile and AT&T offer 200 MB for $10 and $15/month respectively.
