Sprint to launch unlimited cell-to-cell calling, regardless of network

UPDATE: It's official.

An anonymous tipster tells TechVi Sprint will be launching a calling plan which will allow customers to call any other cell phone from any other carrier for free. Any Sprint customer on the base $70 / month plan, which includes unlimited data, text and MMS messages, and 450 minutes, will be able to call any other cell phone on T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T without using plan minutes.

Callers have one caveat, according to our source, if roaming on another network, such as Verizon's network when no Sprint coverage is available, they'll end up using plan minutes. However, when in any Sprint coverage area, all cell-to-cell calls will be free of charge.

[Thanks, mr tipster!]

    I was skeptical about Straight Talk at first but everything I heard about it is true.

    No more crappy coverage from AT+T. The Verizon network is solid and I haven’t dropped a call yet.

    I think $45 a month is fantastic and I got a very nice Samsung phone with a qwerty keyboard so texting and web surfing is easy too.

    I’m saving hundreds of dollars a year now so it’s pretty awesome.

    I’m not the only one who thinks so, either. Here’s another happy Straight Talk-er:

    I have to agree with Frank Lee I too use StraightTalk and it’s awesome. The coverage is perfect, no dropped calls ever, and it’s so cheap.

    Not that good a deal. I have Straight Talk. It’s unlimited for $45 a month, prepaid (so no bills) and on Verizon’s network… the best.

    Sprint blows. Sorry.

    My wife had it and when she traveled for biz, there were plenty of places where she had no signal. No more, with Straight Talk!

    This is great. The cheapest unlimited contract plan in around $100 for an individual.

    Is this a late April fools or did mobile carriers just take the plunge into Internet-age pricing plans?
