Sprint Sweetens Wireless Service Lure for DirecTV Customers

Sprint is upping the wireless service ante for DirecTV customers, as the carrier said Thursday it would offer several tiers of plans for DirecTV customers who switch wireless service to Sprint. Previously, Sprint had offered a year of free wireless service -- unlimited talk and text and 2 GB of data per line per month -- for DirecTV customers or for Sprint customers adding a line of service. Now, the company is offering 4 GB and 6 GB monthly plans at $10 and $20 per line, respectively. The offer follows AT&T's completion in July of its acquisition of DirecTV.
