Last week Sprint announced that they would be putting a data cap on their mobile hotspot plans, many thought that the company would follow suit with their data on their smartphone plans.

It would appear that Sprint has decided to continue to offer unlimited data on its smartphone plans, and one reason for this could be to differentiate itself against AT&T and Verizon if it gets the new iPhone 5 when it is announced next month.

Both AT&T and Verizon removed their unlimited data plans, so Sprint keeping unlimited data could set it apart from its competitors, especially if the company gets the iPhone 5, which looks pretty likely considering everything we have heard over the last month or so.
