And if you have multiple phones, all wanting unlimited minutes, you
are talking about 99.99 PER LINE. Not a good deal at all.

Is the 'per line' requirement different from the other carriers who
made recent announcements?

AMEN!

"Simply Everything" is available today to both CDMA and iDEN customers,
and is open to existing and new subscribers. If you've got a family
plan, it's $5 less for every line you add ($99 + $94 + $89 and so on).

But a bit less than Verizon and AT&T charge for the same thing. If you
can live with Sprint's coverage, it's a comparatively good price.

I haven't checked for this one on Family deal yet (we have 5 phones), but
I read the article (quick read), and even I am a Sprint user I am very happy
to know Sprint hits 29.5B loss because of the lousy Customer Service (or
around 700,000 customers left because of the poor and dirty Customer
Service).

| Sprint actually has very good coverage because you can force your phone to
roam on Verizon anytime that you like. NO other cell phone service provider
gives you that capability.

If Sprint's coverage was adequate you would not have to force roam.

According to the conversation I had with Sprint Customer Service
yesterday (2/29) the only thing NOT included is "Phone as Modem".
The young lady I talked with in CS yesterday told me management has
told them to expect the rollout of a number of blockbuster service
offerings in the next 30~45 days.

Makes sense. Unlimited data to the PHONE is damned near useless because
the PHONE can't do anything but the simplest of webpages and email. If
they turn the MODEM function off, they don't have to worry about you
actually USING all that "unlimited" bandwidth for a real
computer....streaming, sharing, downloading, uploading, and all those nasty
computer things that use BANDWIDTH that PHONES are designed NOT to do.
How many gigs/month does WAP or some phone browser lacking javascript,
Flash, Java, media players and codecs, file transfers, etc. use, anyways?
100MB? 200?
My N800 tablet Bluetoothed to the MotoROKR Z6m DUN used 94GB last month,
according to the detailed bill from Alltel.....and noone complained for
$25.

Well since Sprint is the worst carrier on Earth, by far, this won't help
them much.

Hmm... I wonder how something like a Sierra Wireless AirCard looks to
the system? If it looks like a phone, perhaps they left a loophole
like Cingular did a few years back with their $19.95/month Media Works
plan...

Sprint charges $60 for unlimited WWAN access (e.g. with an Aircard), so
there is no reason to pay $100 for it. Since the unlimited plan is
locked to one cellphone number, it's not possible to game the system by
using the Card and a phone on the same plan.

Wow...That's kinda high! I'm paying Verizon $25/mo for EVDO to my Nokia
N800 from the ROKR Z6m as a BT modem. $60 is over DOUBLE!
The trouble with Aircards is you have to buy another phone number you can't
use for anything plus pay for broadband. It's a scam.
Plug your sellphone into your laptop or bluetooth it....much cheaper! Just
buy unlimited data service, which I think Sprint also sells for around
$25/mo more than the sellphone bill.
You can also use it for the crappy stuff on the phone, if you like.

In that case, they had better tell Sierra Wireless to stop putting
those headset jacks into their AirCards. The one I have is capable of
making voice calls just like a regular voice handset.

So you went running from the Alltel group over here now, huh Larry?
Get over everybody telling you what an idiot you were being the last

Unlimited PAM on a phone or Palm is $39.95. Remember too - on Sprint,
if you already have PowerVision, the PowerVision charge goes away if
you order unlimited PAM (the unlimited data charge covers PAM AND what
the phone itself uses).

WRONG!!!!! The $59.95 (plus the taxes and the other normal crap) is
all you pay for service with an AirCard. Only additional is if you
have insurance on the card ($7.00/month).

AirCards do have advantages. As of this point none of the phones do
EVDO Rev A, so the throughput on the AirCard is higher. Comparing PAM
with my Palm 755P VS my boss's AirCard 595U on the same laptop and the
same area the AirCard max. data rate is about 2X the Palm.
>
>You can also use it for the crappy stuff on the phone, if you like.
Nothing crappy about the web browser on the newer Palms or
Blackberrys. The other stuff such as IM works well too (the real
limitation is user interaction because of the limited keyboards VS a
regular Computer.

Scott,
On Sprint, unless you have that data card attached to a voice plan
voice calls will cost you $0.20/minute.

If you could replace the aircard with a tethered phone and still
maintain same functionality, then it may be a scam. But you can't so
it isn't.

You're thinking of the Sprint data plan that is $59 per month and the
plan is expressly designed for laptop access. Tethering a phone is
against the TOS.

And on what do you base that statement? Your own experience, coverage,
customer service or ?? Worst compared to??
I'll grant you that the coverage by each carrier in a particular area
may not be as good as another carrier, and I'll also inform you that
AT&T and Verizon, as the older carriers going back to the AMPS days of
the '80s, have an advantage in that they where able to nail down sites
before the NIMBY opposition and the "we'll all die from radio waves"
scare mongering started up in the '90s. The 1800/1900 MHz PCS spectrum
auction (the spectrum T-Mobile & Sprint use) did not happen until 1995
and the systems where not sited until a couple of years later. I know
- I was working for Bell South in those days.
All that having been said, I've been in many areas where my Sprint
phone works and my girlfriend's Verizon phone is in Roam.
Be careful when you make branket statements - some might light that
blanket up :))

BTW Blackberry users must pay $20 more to Sprint each month for this
'unlimited' feature since it costs Sprint if they use the Blackberry
servers, ie unlimited BB is $119 at Sprint.

Yes, they do. You just have to pay for it. They call it Phone As

That would be the wireless phone in your pocket that nickel and dimes you
to death, charging you by the month for the simplest of applications like
copying your pictures to your PC or transferring the tiniest messages on
the planet for $900,000 per gigabyte.
Everything a SELLphone does is to SELL you something more.....TV, music,
messages, internet, ad nauseum.....
It's like a goddamned box office in your pocket!

$39.99 PAM Plan which is unlimited, but they don't have any Rev A
phones, so a data card is better (with a $59.99 plan).

On the other hand, the PAM plan can be started and stopped at will,
while the data card commits you to 2-year contract. The value of the
trade-offs either way would depend on your own usage of course.

Good point, I forgot about that. When I do add that kind of
"feature" (depending on what carrier calls such an add-on), I
state or ask very clearly that I can use it month to month.
With all the stories floating around with people getting
their contract extended for the smallest things...

Yep, that's definitely something you want to make clear up front. I
think some of the data card plans allow for a suspension of service for
some period of time, but it gets added on the other end.

Only if YOU decide to make it so. My cell phone has absolutely NO
third party software on it. I use it to ---gasp--- make phone calls.
That's it.
Just because You, Larry, don't like the terms and agreements of the
third party apps, doesn't mean everybody agrees with you.
Now go crawl back under your rock.
