The company has also announced that these are only some of the markets planned to receive access to 4G LTE services soon.

The company is also committed to continue expanding the 4G LTE network, while also working on improving its existing 3G service, Sprint has announced.

“In addition to the 19 cities we have already launched, we recently announced that Sprint 4G LTE will be available in more than 100 cities in the coming months,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint.

Sprint will also continue to offer its users the Everything Data plan with Any Mobile, Anytime, which includes unlimited data, texting and calling to any mobile in America on the Sprint network. The plan is priced starting at $79.99 per month for smartphones (pricing excludes taxes and surcharges).

At the moment, Sprint’s 4G LTE network is available in 24 cities, but should reach many more in the coming months.
