Sprint has a deal now, 70 for unlimited data/sms/mms and 450 mins. But you get unlimited minutes to any mobile. For me that means unlimited minutes, I don't call any landlines. For 99 on sprint you get the same deal but true unlimited minutes. It's not a bad deal if your job either subsidizes it, or the cost of the service is offset by the money made from it.
