How much data are you going to get, and at what price? What about overage charges? Does the data plan include internet tethering? How many minutes do you get? What about unlimited texting? </p> <p>This nice comparison chart was put together by <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2394224,00.asp#fbid=e0_7S7GMr3r">PCMag</a>, breaking down each carrier of the iPhone 4S and what you can expect to pay on a monthly and yearly basis.</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/iphone-4s-data-plans-compared.gif" alt="iPhone 4S plans compared" title="iphone-4s-data-plans-compared" width="515" height="544" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22079" /></p> <p>Would you have guessed that newcomer Sprint would offer the best deal on iPhone 4S data plans? It’s by a longshot once you consider heavy data use, where Sprint matches both the text and voice plans but then dramatically beats the competitors 2GB data offering. Not only does Sprint offer the cheapest data at a flat rate, but they’re the only remaining iPhone carrier in the USA to offer unlimited data, something only those grandfathered into old Verizon or AT&T plans have (in fact, both VZ and ATT are actually throttling heavy data users instead).</p> <p><a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/05/how-to-check-iphone-4s-upgrade-eligibility-status-on-att-verizon-and-sprint/">Check your iPhone 4S upgrade eligibility on each carrier</a>, but in some cases it’s actually cheaper to jump carriers and break your contract. Or if you’re looking for a deal and you intend to be a data hog, you can’t beat Sprint’s $99/month.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EYhlhyaZpKtqYACAFPV1XSXlrJM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EYhlhyaZpKtqYACAFPV1XSXlrJM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EYhlhyaZpKtqYACAFPV1XSXlrJM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EYhlhyaZpKtqYACAFPV1XSXlrJM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=wYDBKutTAjY:hwOqj6RX0kw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/wYDBKutTAjY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
