Individual plan comparison for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon wireless

Just for the fun of it I decided to do another comparison, this time for individual plan that suits my need. Again this is with my company discount (20% for AT&T and Sprint, 22% for Verizon wireless).

	Sprint SERO	Sprint ERRP	Sprint	AT&T	Verizon	T-mobile
Minutes	500	500	450	450	450	500

Price	$30	$59.99	$55.99 ($69.99)	$60.99 ($74.99)	$60.18 ($74.98)	$59.99

Looks like all plans are more or less the same. Sprint is cheaper with or without discount and offers a bit more (unl. text), but without a high-end phone like iPhone or Driod, the $5 or so difference is really not a big deal, not to mention that prices are the same across the board if people don't use text.

Sprint is set to finally release a nice phone that is comparable to other carriers' offering but unfortunately they tack on $10 extra (EVO tax) if you want the phone, so that would put the Sprint's pricing at $65.99 ($79.99) compared to the other 3, which makes it really unattractive if you don't have 4G speed in your area.

Another way to save some money is to get a non t-mobile branded smartphone what supports their 3g band. This way you can opt for the cheapest t-mobile voice plan (500min $30) + $10 web = $40/month, or (500min + unl text $40) + $10 web = $50. This would potentially make it the cheapest plan out of all 4 carriers.
