I don't see the significants of posting every time a carrier gets an unlimited plan. They were more common than you think.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 10:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br>Yeah, the significance among the regional carriers is "not much at all"; lots of them had it, and those that didn't just being johnny-come-lately's.<br><br>The recent emergence of unlimited voice plans is only significant among the big 4.  And even then, it'll only turn out to be significant if they don't cancel it in a few months.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 4:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is a big deal for US Cellular as it competes well with the big boys in the markets it serves.

They have a $50 plan that covers nearly everything.  They also have unlimited local and long-distance for $35, unlimited texting for $40, and unlimited data for $45.<br><br>Is this all in response to Alltel's My Circle expanding to 20 people, or the $20 data for the iPhone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TEG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 1:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br>I was going to say "a regional carrier offering $99/mo for unlimited voice is NOT meaningful news".

There are quite a few regional providers that have been offering this for a while. Not to mention, Helio, who has it nationwide and has been doing it since last summer. It is nice to see the big guys finally starting to catch on to what a lot of people want.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Crane Walker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 1:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm not sure why people cannot get the concept of 99 down after all these years.  A product sold for 99¢ fools so many people thinking that oh, it's only 90¢ and not a dollar.  Similarly promoting something as "sub $100" when it's priced at $99.99 is just plain silly.  Of course it's really $100+ since you're going to pay lots of tax on top of that as well.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joseph Singer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2008 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[FWIW:<br><br>This launches today, February 23rd in the Midwest Market.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2008 5:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is interesting that people are waiting to see how Sprint responds to the other national moves on unlimited.  I just found out that Sprint already has a regional unlimited plan that is half the cost of the $100 plans the other carriers have rolled out.  It is called Boost Unlimited.  As a Sprint customer, why would I pay more for less minutes when I could just call them and switch to their Boost Unlimited plan?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jonsocal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2008 11:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Unlimited, regional style: US Cellular intros $99 plan]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/02/22/unlimited-regional-style-us-cellular-intros-99-plan/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sprint added an all-you-can-call plan including text and data for $99 today]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2008 1:21PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
