This morning, Sprint added a new top-tier, all inclusive calling plan to its lineup - the ‘Simply Everything’ plan. This new option covers voice, data, text, email, Web-surfing, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS Navigation, Direct Connect and Group Connect for $99.99 a month. Quite literally, everything you’ll need for full wireless communication.

This move comes a few weeks after initial word of Sprint’s plan leaked, and is indicative of the increased competition across carriers for the growing number of consumers who demand more than “just” voice services. By wrapping the full spectrum of services into one plan, Sprint hopes they’ve simplified the process for these “all-in” customers.

One additional detail of note - existing Sprint customers may upgrade to a ‘Simply Everything’ plan without extending their contract, a condition that is, for now, unique to Sprint.

As a result of this news, Wirefly currently offers unlimited plans for four of the nation’s major carriers - AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and, now, Sprint.

Good news for AT&T customers – the carrier is about to begin an upgrade to its 3G network that’s expected to be complete by the middle of this year.

AT&T Wireless’ 3G network currently delivers downlink speeds between 600 Kbps and 1.3 Mbps, with related uplink capabilities. The new technology – called HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access) – will boost those speeds while leaving room for even greater improvement down the road.

The upgraded data speeds will help AT&T deliver new, data-heavy applications like its Video Share feature.
