Sprint falls in line, caps "unlimited" data at 5GB {Engadget Mobile}

Jul 14th 2008 11:02AM I called Sprint 7/14/2008 with questions about the 5 gig usage limit. I was inquiring about discrepancies from what I had thought I had used verses what the online meter said I was using. I was transferred to a data specialist and after waiting for about 10 minutes he had an answer for me. I was informed my account is GRANDFATHERED in and is truly unlimited! I was told I can ignore the meter. The notice on our bills was general across the board and not filtered for existing users. I believe this to be true as my voice lines original plan is still honored but no longer offered to new customers. If you have an existing unlimited data plan just make sure you pay your bill on time and renew before it expires to keep your truly unlimited usage plan active.
