Sprint unveiled a unique offering that allows its customers to purchase Amazon Prime on a month-to-month basis as an add-on to their monthly plan. The deal includes all the regular benefits of Prime, including free two-day shipping, streaming video, access to Prime Music, unlimited photo storage and the Kindle e-book lending library - all on a month-to-month basis for $10.99/month.
Sprint essentialy offers flexibility for its customers to subscribe to the service on a monthly basis, unlike a yearly commitment required if they were to purchase the Prime subscription directly from Amazon. Customers however will be paying $131.88/year compared to just $99/year if they subscribe directly from Amazon.
