family plan
T-Mobile's better-than-average rate plans continue with their new unlimited family plans, which costs $99 for the first line, and $49 for each additional plan after. You get up to four extra lines, but each line has unlimited calling, roaming, SMS, MMS and IMing. The more lines you get, the more cost effective each one becomes, and for a family with frisky parents, this can be a real money-saver. [T-Mobile]

Latest by Human Bomb: 99 dollars for a primary line and 49 for each secondary? That's cheap? Is it because it's unlimited, because that just sounds pricey as hell (also there is no T-Mobile where I'm at.) more »

Last time I was in a store, I was like, "Why is there no creepy animatronic sea captain here to tell me today's specials?" Apparently that's what the founders of Characters Unlimited thought too, because they've come up with a vast array of Hall of Presidents-style robotic people—and a few animals, too, like the ever-popular dog in overalls, or the smoking buffalo—aimed specifically at retailers who want to jazz up their stores, maybe after striking out with Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men. The things can move and talk, their lips synched to either live or pre-recorded messages. (Was that a tape recorder I saw?) The company president told Aving they'll do custom jobs, can even clone you if you want, but from the look of their lineup, it helps if you're old and/or disfigured. There's a video after the jump if you're not already properly skeeved out. [Aving USA]

Skype's latest $9.95 international subscription plan seems fantastic if you're calling relatives or friends in other countries really often. Just pay $9.95 a month and you'll be able to ring up landlines in one of 34 countries (cellphones are only supported in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the US and Canada), and if you buy three months' worth of credit before June 1, you'll get one month for free. Super useful for when you've got older folks in other countries who don't really know how to use a computer to Skype with. Or if you don't want them to see over video chat that you've gained some weight. [Skype]

Sprint Call Plan Only $89.99, Loses Inclusive Data
We seemed to have missed this in the recent unlimited call plan-gasm, but Sprint is apparently offering a call plan that rings in at $89.99/month and includes unlimited voice, messaging and push to talk. The plan is cheaper because it does not include any data usage in the price. Still, it is $10 less than Verizon and AT&T offerings, both of which will only give you unlimited voice for $99/month. If you don't need data access via your handset, checkout our awesome cheat sheet to see why this really is exceptional value for money. [Mobileburn]

Sprint Finally Offers $99 'Simply Everything' Flat Rate Calling Plan
It's not the super cheap $59 plan everyone was hoping for, but it has finally joined the other three carriers in offering a $99 unlimited plan. Sprint's version includes unlimited voice, data, text messages, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS, Direct Connect and Group Connect. This seems like it's even better than most of the other plans (Verizon and AT&T's are for voice only, and T-Mobile's is for voice and messaging). Good job Sprint! [BusinessWire]

Sprint May Be Bringing a $59 Unlimited Flat-Rate Plan to Spite Other Carriers
Now that all the major cellphone carriers except Sprint have a $99 flat-rate plan for unlimited calling, Sprint wants to one-up everybody and undercut the competition by up to 40%. According to Reuters, analysts are saying that a plan could be coming that either hits the $60 or $80 price point, which would be hard for Verizon or T-Mobile to match. Again, it's all rumor and speculation now, but wouldn't you love a $60 unlimited talk plan? [Yahoo]

AT&T's responding to Verizon's Unlimited calling and data contracts with a $99 all you can eat voice plan that can be combo'd up with any data plan. The data plans are a step in the non-evil direction for AT&T: $35 bucks for unlimited connectivity and messaging. An AT&T spokesperson tells us that includes 3G.

Sprint Offers Unlimited Voice, Data For $119
Helio's got their $99 unlimited plan, but now Sprint, one of the four majors, is joining the all-you-can-eat club. At $119 it's a little more expensive than Helio (even though Helio's actually using Sprint as a backbone), and you still need a separate Power Vision pack or BlackBerry data plan for smartphones (so it's not quite all-in for $119). Boy Genius is saying that this is rolling out nationwide, but Engadget says that it's only restricted to four markets: San Francisco, Philadelphia, Tampa and Minneapolis/St. Paul. We're checking to confirm. [Sprint Unlimited via Boy Genius via Engadget]

Netflix Offers Unlimited Online Viewing to Customers: Full Rollout On the Horizon?
According to Hacking Netflix, select Netflix subscribers have been receiving emails over the past few weeks granting them access to unlimited Watch Instantly hours. They have also increased the number of titles available on the service to 6000 —presumably in anticipation of a full-scale rollout. Keep in mind that this is only a rumor at this point so we have to ask —did you happen to receive an email like this? [Hacking Netflix via Zats]

Vu Coffee Table For Your Ugly Mug
Don't just roll your eyes when your girlfriend says its time to update your crappy bachelor furniture.

Verizon to Offer Unlimited Text and VCast to the Masses
Good news for Verizon customers. Starting April 15th the boys in red are launching unlimited plans for their data services. So for $20 extra you'll be able to sign up for unlimited text messaging, picture messaging, and VCast. I'm on Verizon and I'm paying more than I care to know for my text addiction, so this is pretty good news (for a change). I just hope that this time around they mean unlimited and not "unlimited."
