I heard that Sprint is changing their TOS for their data card plans by limiting the "unlimited" accounts to 5GB effective July 31st. Im so done with them when this goes into effect.

I have received notification that this will go into effect. I guess they decided to cap their data usage to 5GB per month, just like Verizon and ATT has been doing for quite some time. I don't use 5GB per month myself. Yet, if you are a person that uses that and more per month, I can understand your concern. Hopefully you won't go over. :)

I haven't gotten any notification from them. In what form did you receive it?

I actually received it on my last bill in May. I don't have it anymore, but just so you know, this data cap is ONLY for consumer/business individual customers. There is a 300MB roaming limitation cap, and 5GB limitation on the Sprint network.

People who are on a corporate business account will not have these limitations.

I thought Sprint just came out with an unlimited everything plan (I believe $99 a month).

Data caps are the devil.

They did, but it doesn't include data cards or phone as modem connectivity.
