According to several rumors, Sprint will offer Apple's iPhone 5 when it is launched in the next few weeks, alongside AT&T and Verizon.
We've already seeing signs, which indicate that Sprint is gearing up for the launch. Sprint first increased the early-termination fees earlier in the month and couple of days back it killed its Premier Upgrade program and made changes to the return policy.
If that is not enough, it also looks like Sprint is planning to limit the mobile hotspot plans to 5GB of data, according to a report on SprintFeed.
SprintFeed reports:
We can now add Phone as a Modem to the list. Our beloved Super Spies have been bringing the pain lately and today is no exception! Starting on October 2nd the Now Network will be switching up their mobile hotspot plans by placing a 5GB cap on them. This rule doesn’t apply to your phone’s normal data plan and tablets are exempt as well, but just about everything else is up for grabs!
Sprint is expected to offer iPhone customers an unlimited data plan to compete with AT&T and Verizon, so limiting mobile hotspot to 5GB of data seems quite odd. In fact, it will only encourage users to use jailbreak apps like MyWi to enable them to tether unofficially.
Are you planning to switch to Sprint if it offers iPhone 5? What do you think about the recent policy changes that Sprint has implemented? Does that change your decision?

They want to get you into a 2 year contract, and then enforce their tos, by automatically changing you to limited data plan, hot spot or normal usage. Just like the other US carriers.
sorry for offtopic
For an iphone 3g which IOS of ios4 is the fastest, im using 3.1.2 atm but i want ios4 games. thx
Didn’t they just start airing a commercial bragging that they DON’T do this? The one with the phones flying up the chart. They were trying to say that they are better than AT&T and Verizon because they don’t have any limits. I find it funny that when a company finally starts selling the iPhone, all of a sudden they change their policies to that of their competitor who they were just bashing.
+1. Totally agree.
Jesus you guys. Who rights the titles here? Plans used twice in the same headline? Freaking amateur hour at iPhoneahacks.
Thanks for point it out. We seriously didn’t realise it when we published it and until you pointed it out
Take it easy the sky isn’t falling and the world isn’t going to end any time soon. No need to overreact. Being overly harsh and critical helps no one, constructive criticism and tact can go a long ways. Here’s an old proverb with a new twist, Let he who has never made a grammatical or and other writing error cast the first Stone. lol Have a nice day
Now back on Topic. You should be upset with all those Greedy iphone carriers that keep sucking us dry of our hard earned cash while giving us less for our money.
By the same token, it’s writes no “rights”.
“By the same token, it’s writes not “rights”.” Guess that includes me to. lol
EVeryone does the same when they are in Rome.
