    well i guess i WON'T be upgrading to a data-plan when i get back home. i was pretty set on getting a pair of epic 4g's--but if it's going to cost me $40 extra over the old price ($20 for the 4g fee, $20 for a price-hike)--fucking forget it. i'll stick to my $80 plan for 2 phones with texting. i ain't paying 150%+ what i'm paying right now...just so i can have a smartphone.

    what pisses me off to no end is that i'm still on contract. that's fine if it's a 2-year contract and they help pay for a new phone--but what happens AFTER 2 years? i'm still using the same katana DLX that i've had for nearly 3 years now. so essentially, i've been paying contract price for the past year--even though i have nothing to show for it.

    ...and dont' even get me started on the discounts. the military gets a slap in the face compared to banking institutions. fuck cellular companies. fuck them right in the ass.

    talk about a real double whammy. i kind of got turned off when a fellow at best buy mentioned that they charge that 4g fee even if you don't use it, but i'm definitely not switching now.

    ROFL! Raw-Full!!!

    I laugh at anyone that makes fun of someone for paying anything for a cellphone acting like their deal is so bomb-diggity. I have unlimited everything including tethering and after taxes I pay a whopping $0.00.



    Don't be a dick.

    I have a job. One that gives me a new smartphone at least once year.


    EDIT: I reread this post and to me it came off a bit smug. That was not my intent at all. I was actually just trying to answer the question straight up. :/

    A whole bunch of people in here need to learn how to read the press release...

    So the 'premium data add-on' simply now applies to ALL smart phones not just 4G smart phones like before.

    Which falls under the category of the OP's 8530.

    Verizon did this a while ago. I won't be upgrading my phones with them until I can afford to buy phones outright and move to another carrier. I have a 2-phone plan that shares 700 minutes, 500 texts, and no data. I still pay $78/mth for our plan, and to get any new phone would tack on $20 a month for data plans I won't use. I refuse to allow them to force plans on me that I don't intend to use.
