To match AT&T's latest double data promotion, Sprint and Verizon have beefed up their offerings allowing customers to pick up a ton of extra data at little to no cost. AT&T bumped up their top data packages (anything 15 GB and up) and will give customers twice as much data for free until the end of the month. Sprint and Verizon are taking a similar path.
If you are a Sprint customer on the 32, 40, or 60 GB shared data package, the carrier will give you 60, 80, or 120 GB, respectively. The 32 isn't quite doubled, but it's close enough to count. The plans still come with unlimited texting and calling, so if you need a ton of data on an account with multiple lines, it's a great deal.
Verizon is following suit with their More Everything plans starting with the 12 GB data package. The 12 GB plan only gets an addition 3 GB of data (bringing it up to 15) and the 16 GB is getting an extra chunk to bring it up to 30 GB, but the 20, 30, 40, and 50 GB plans are all actually being doubled. On the high end, you can have 100 GB of data for $375 plus your phone access fees, or 40 GB of data for $150. It's still not a cheap option for someone on a budget, but for what you're getting it's a huge improvement.
All three of the carriers' promos end on October 31st, so if you want to take advantage of it, jump on it before Halloween to get locked in for the length of your contract.
