Sprint Corp. has become the latest telecom company to offer a new unlimited talk, text and data plan. On Thursday, the company announced the new package, which includes unlimited talk, text, streaming video, gaming and music as well as nationwide 4G LTE data, for two lines for $100 a month. Additional lines can be added for $30 a month, while a single line can be purchased for $60. A family of four, for example, would cost $160. In a press release, Sprint said the package beats similar unlimited offers announced this week by T-Mobile US and AT&T , though they’re all actually very similar. T-Mobile’s offering, announced earlier Thursday, includes unlimited talk, text and high-speed data for $40 a line for a family of four, or $160 in total. On Wednesday, AT&T announced new mobile plans that exclude overage charges for exceeding data caps. Shares of Sprint rose 0.5% in morning trade, though they’ve risen nearly 70% in the past three months, versus a 7% increase for the S&P 500 .
