Sprint Extends Black Friday Unlimited Data Offer

(RTTNews) - Telecommunications firm Sprint (S) has extended its Black Friday unlimited data offer for a limited time, the company said in a statement on Monday.

When customers switch at least one line to Sprint and sign up for Unlimited Freedom with AutoPay, they get unlimited data, talk and text starting at just $20 per month/line for a family of five until January 31, 2018. For one line of service, the subscribers pay $60 per month, and for two lines, pay $100 per month. Then, the third, fourth and fifth lines of unlimited data, talk and text are free through January 31, 2018. After that, their cost will be $30 per line per month.

The carrier said the offer, since its Black Friday launch, is so popular with holiday shoppers. With this offer, the customers get to save $30 per month each for lines 3-5. That's a savings of more than $1,000 in the first year. The offer would enable family members or a group of friends to get the maximum data, talk and text without the fear of monthly data allotment.

Roger Solé, Sprint chief marketing officer, said, "You can power up your entire family or circle of friends with this amazing offer - it's the best value on unlimited data, talk and text. It's kind of amazing… we're giving customers their third, fourth and fifth wireless lines free. That's $20 per month per line for five lines."

In its statement, Sprint also noted that AT&T customers can save up to $120/month when they switch to Sprint, while Verizon customers, who aren't even offered the opportunity for a plan with unlimited data, now have the chance for a multiline plan. Also, for T-Mobile customers, the offer saves $60 on their unlimited plan for a family of five.
