wow. my lline is up in 4 months. might look into this

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I don't see $100 a month being "low priced" in any way.

edit: Yes, I realize it's cheaper than it's competition. I just don't see the value in the service.

It's the lowest price available for all the features you get. Unlimited voice and data including text messaging.

Sprint sucks around here. I'm pretty sure this is a repost too. Old's second law, and all

Get your hearing checked. I said your "sister," not "sprint"

So i must be the only one here that thinks $1200 a year for what amounts to a high tech 2-way radio is a bit high.

Hell im unhappy with the $60 a month i pay now.

 

[moshquerade]

a price war would be a great thing

Add me to your list.

With all these "Unlimited" services, the people who don't use it enough will subsidize the people who do.

Not the least bit interesting. I already pay that for the same service more or less. If they'd offer $50-60 for 100 voice minutes and unlimited data THEN I'd be interested.

Very area specific. If you get service the quality is excellent. Unfortunately they have among the WORST customer service of any company in the history of companies. I refuse to go back until I hear that everyone in charge of their customer service has been lined up against the wall and shot.

Really? Wow...and I was just so curious as to how they could afford such drastic decreases in rates!

I thought they were just charging way overpriced rates in the first place.

Are you guys serious? If you have a Sprint Mogul you get EVDO rev a and you can use the phone as a router alla wifirouter program and you have internet access for you laptop or phone ANYWHERE you go. This is a GREAT deal by any means. I have verizon and have to pay 50 bucks a month JUST for the internet and data plan alone.

Really? thats almost cheap enough to make me jump ship from verizon, even with the bad service i get out here.

I live on a campus and have wifi everywhere anyway.

yeah, when I saw the $100 pricing and what's included, i thought, "isn't SERO still much better?"

oh well, hopefully they keep sero around...

No. PAM is not included. This is full access for your phone, not your phone and a laptop you are bluetooth'd or usb attached to. If you are using your mogul for PAM, you are in violation of the TOS.

You want full access to data on your laptop, get a wireless card. That's what they are for.

Ok, where do you find this? Their basic plan is $30, but that has no data that I can find.

Ahhh, if they prohibit bluetooth dun then they're worthless. At least the other carriers allow it, even if it's more expensive.

WHOA!!! That's damn near exactly what I want/need, for 1/3 the price of anyone else. I'd have to buy a new phone, since I believe the Treo680 is AT&T only, but it'd be worth it. The only hangup might be bluetooth dun...I absolutely have to have it. Any idea on rather it will work with this plan?
