Sprint Nextel has debuted a new television advertisement for Apple’s new iPhone 4S on U.S. broadcast and cable networks.
The ad highlights the over half a million apps available for iPhone.
Sprint’s ad copy reads, in part:
You might say there’s no limit to what this amazing device can do. So the question to ask is, why would anyone want to limit the iPhone? We don’t.
Truly unlimited data for your iPhone. Only from Sprint.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews readers too numerous to mention individually for the heads up.]
Hey MDN! Enough with the damn pop ups!
AdBlock. Use it. Love it.

*DING*A*DING*DING* LordRobin! Same here.
I thought that Sprint announced that they were doing away with their unlimited data plans.
if you read the fine print, they said 4G will not be unlimited. the 4S is not 4G.
Actually, there is a $10 Prime Data fee attached to the iPhone on top of the unlimited voice/date.
The fees and charges from Sprint are nearly the same as the fees and charges with AT&T. I just did a thorough comparison. I ended up switching to Sprint because they were willing to put 6 our family on a single plan (used some kind of commercial classification). If we had stayed with AT&T, we would have had to have 2 3-member plans or a 5 and 1. The savings was substantial (AT&T has unlimited texting for a family, but that ends at 5 people). The unlimited data was not a big consideration for us, but with the way we use the phones (4 of us are college students), it’s nice not having to monitor the bill.
As for doing away with unlimited data, the announcement came out just as we were activating phone number 6. I asked the Sprint employee helping us, and he said it had to do with PC services and didn’t impact the iPhone.
If you ever get the impression that Sprint actually LIKES its customers and is doing them a favor: Read the fine print.
Sprint has a very long and infamous history of customer abuse. If they’ve actually changed, excellent! But I’m sniffing the SOS.
Had Sprint. Sucked. Baaaaad customer service, service and hidden cost. And give it time, the banning of unlimited will happen soon. They have more dropped calls than AT&t and u have to constantly call to tell them u have a dropped call in order to be credited.
Sprint doesn’t limit or slow your data past a certain amount.
Why? Because if you can use the data it’s soooooo slow that you’d never use that much in a month anyways.
T-Mobile, after it’s slowed your data, is still faster and more useable then Sprints data.
