“We are very excited to bring the innovation of iPhone 5s and the fun features of iPhone 5c to our customers paired with the benefit of Sprint’s Unlimited 4G LTE plans,” said David Owens, vice president of Product Development. “The new Sprint Unlimited Guarantee, available with an Unlimited, My WaySM or My All-inSM plan, is the perfect match because they allow iPhone customers to enjoy all the features these great products offer, without worrying about costly overages or sharing data while on the Sprint network.”

iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c customers who sign up for Sprint’s new Unlimited, My WaySM plan or My All-inSM plan are eligible for the Sprint Unlimited Guarantee.*** The Sprint Unlimited Guarantee gives customers unlimited talk (calls to any wireline or mobile phone), text and data while on the Sprint network for the life of the line of service. The new Unlimited, My Way rate plans start for as little as $80 per month (excludes taxes and surcharges). The Unlimited, My Way plan can offer customers a significant savings when compared to competitors’ capped data plans.
