So true if they didnt charge for premium internet which in most places it doesnt exist i'd actually be saving money. But As of last week the lost a customer in me.
i'll pay the same amount over at ATT and actually be able to use my phone as intended. |

| The plans actually do save money if you text and talk a lot. I still have my grandfathered verizon 20 gb plan (for the cost of 10 gb). |

Eh, even with the $10/mo. surcharge (which is simply a way for them to advertise unlimited data for $70/mo.), you're still getting unlimited data for no more than limited data with VZ, and less than for what limited data with "AT&T" would cost.
The bigger problems with Sprint, for me, are: 1. Data coverage. By all accounts it... well, it sucks, I'm told. I know that over by the S.E. end of the state, next to the lakes, my friends do well with VZ, but my phone's always in-and-out of service (on voice). 2. Phone selection. Sprint's is limited. I really wanted a virtual-keyboard-only Motorola phone. (They're more robust than others.) Sprint doesn't have such a thing any more. That, alone, may push me over to VZ, after 13 years with Sprint.

Oklahoma City, OK | Still way better than the other guys Slightly off topic but its for everyone out there who has never tried Sprint. Many carriers have very confusing bills including some Ive seen with surcharges nearing 20% of the bill. NYC for example. Check out this Bill I have from sprint. This is the Everything data 450 which includes calling to any cell phone on any carrier unlimited. Look how plain and simple the bill is. No trickery of renaming charges to hide fees. There is another page I have not uploaded which explains the charges and they go on to admit upfront the surcharges are to recover costs imposed upon them by government regulations. I don't think any of the other carriers are this up front.
How much would this cost at Verizon or AT&T? Also Sprint's entire network will have LTE by the end of next year.
Side note. My plan is still better than most out there because I actually have 750 landline minutes for the price of the 450. So basically unlimited everything for my usage. |

| Coverage...coverage....coverage... When TMo and Sproostgin wants to expand and have real coverage let me know... till then.... VZW!
No I think their new plan sucks!
I have unlimited and I will keep it till they pry it away, which I expect soon to pay for all the isheep and the itoys... 
I purchased my own samsung Stratosphere and changed out my device online no muss no fuss and kept my data plan... got screwed out of my last NE2 discount because of it since the isheep cost us that too!
I normally didn't use the upgrades in the past, but I for $50 for a phone that was cheaper than I could get it on Ebay for that upgrade last time. I got this one for about what I would pay or a little more... its the principle of it though....
The device regardless of the plan and cheapness of that plan mean nothing if I can't use it when I need it... and sproostgin has been measured, weighed and found wanting.
The ad(s) are worthless... sprosstgin's I had not seen... but I skip most and most of my watching has no ads since they are convienently removed by the sources. 
I watch TMo's only for Carly (FEED HER!) and the singer in the Xmas one last year! HOT REDHEAD!
When some one wants to step up with an reliable network with equal coverage, let me know.

Re: 10.00 Premium Fee For Web But then again you get what you pay for.. crap. I have moved services and checked my usuage over with sprint thru last yr and havent gone anywhere past 4 gigs in 2 yrs. I'd say very easily I am in a good place with the plan I am under. |

lol I lost faith in sprint along time ago... In flat terran they will do well with LTE... I don't see them being able to provide that same network of LTE in my area. |

Re: The plans actually do save money if you text and talk a lot. Whether you save or don't depends on a lot of factors and really it's an individual things. So no one can say it saves or doesn't save for anyone else but them. And I suspect a lot of people saying it doesn't save haven't even done the math and have just regurgitated what they were told.
for example we have 4 smartphones 700 minutes( use less than 200 ) unlimited texting and four 2GB data plans
Old pricing $240
New pricing with 8 GB shared $250.
Now it seems we'd pay $10 a month more BUT we uses less than 4 GB a month anyways. Last month used under 2 GB total in fact. If we switch to the 4 GB package we'd save $10 a month.
Now I think a lot of people are the same way but they have this mindset "Well I have 2 GB now so I need 2 GB on the Share Everything plan". Even though they don't ever come close to using 2 GB. It's almost as if having a plan that offers under 2 GB per person is wrong to them. 2 GB was just an arbitrary number to begin with. |

Maybe the slowness is due to all the people maxing out their unlimited connections. |

Right....By the the way, rec9140, how are those lawsuits from VZW and SouthernLinc for Sprint deploying CDMA (and eventually LTE) on SMR that you promised coming along? |

Re: I pay more said by BiggA:To actually have coverage. And I'm just fine with that.
I am the same way. I would love to switch to Virgin Mobile or Boost but I am probably not going to because I have heard horror stories from people in my area. It's either I am going to buy a a device (iPhone 5 or a S III) on eBay and use it with my unlimited data plan with Verizon or do the same with an AT&T phone and do Net10. |
