With the unveiling of the new iPhone 4S, consumers are faced with the dilemma of which of the three wireless carriers — AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint — will give the best bang for your buck.
According to a CNN Money article, the differences in savings among the wireless providers' plans really depends on the kind of usage you plan on getting out of the iPhone.
If you use data sparingly, AT&T would probably be your best bet, the article says. But Verizon's network would be best for typical data and text users, and if you burn through data, Sprint may be the best fit.
Sprint offers an unlimited data and text plan with 450 anytime minutes for about $80, but AT&T or Verizon could be potentially cheaper or much more expensive, CNN Money says.
The biggest consideration is how heavily you use your data plan. Using 2G of data without texting and 450 minutes or less of phone time, AT&T is by far the cheapest at $65, but adding unlimited texting will cost an extra $20, the article says.
Verizon's 2G data plan with unlimited texting cost rings in the highest at about $90, but Verizon's network is rated highest among customers in terms of satisfaction, which you can read in the full story.
