Sprint Moving to Metered Roaming Data for Aircards in July

Humberto Saabedra

Sprint has announced that it will begin a metered roaming data access option for customers that are close to the 300MB limit set by the carrier for data access while roaming on aircards.

If customers go past the 300MB allotment, they will be asked to move to a five cent per MB overage rate while roaming and a 25 cent overage rate while on Sprint coverage or face being cut off until the next billing cycle.

However, the new policy will only apply to aircards at this time and will not affect handsets.
