What Happened?
Traditionally the holiday season was marked by carriers offering their best plans of the year. Now it seems that is no longer the case. Sprint's plans (except for the Fair and Flexible Plan) have remained virtually unchanged for a little over a year now. Is this the sign of a maturing industry or could it be the industry is watching "The New Cingular" to see what the market will bare?

the new fair and flexable is the holiday special combined with the buy 1 get upto 4 free special
...
Like other carriers, they need to have no roaming charges with the plan. 😲
...
Sprint does offer that. It's a minimal additional charge. It's called the "America" plan.

sprint is a little different from all the other carriers they actually will show there network then the other networks your phone will roam on.
most other carriers they just show you a map that is both there coverage and there roaming coverage.

Excerpt from the Sprint website regarding the Free & Clear "America" plan:
"...as long as less than half of your monthly call time is used while roaming. Sprint may terminate service if more than half of the minutes in a given month are used while roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network."
So how much is this "America" option? It doesn't disclose a price on the website.

the 50% is a bit miss leading. you actually have to go over 50% of your used mins for 4 consecutive months in a row then sprint will remove it.

Very good call, Trav. We are waiting as well to see if there will be some big, grand announcement that is poised to "blow the competition out of the box" but havent heard anything yet (not even rumors). Everyone's offers seem to be staying the same so far, and here we are, the 5th of December, through Black Friday.
Everyone is watching everyone pretty much.
