Heads up Sprint Customers

[Mikes2nd]

rofl you guys get punked by sprint, just pay it and stop whining...

do you realize how much money sprint loses? Its going to go broke its run by such fools.

I like my verizon 15$ a month data plan... although im coming close to the 150 meg limit.

seriously I laugh when I see someone on sprint or an iphone contract...

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...

Sprint defines smartphones as devices with robust operating systems that deliver a rich wireless experience by bringing the full function of mobile applications and programs to life, including Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm, and the Instinct family of devices. The Premium Data add-on charge previously applied to HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO Shift 4G and Samsung Epic 4G devices.

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.
