I seen nothing but people with sprint phones all week. Especially the HTC Evo. It's been bugging me for a while now but what deals do they offer really?

mariadroid

a lot of people i know have sprint..it is a good company but has its flaws just like the rest of the carriers..my roommate has unlimited everything but he also pays @150...my other roommate has AT&T IPhone also unlimited but also pays @150

THE W

Actually i, will. And as a side note i don't plan on switching to sprint any time soon. I can't best the thought of having minutes again unless it's really worth it lol idk I'm happy with metro at the moment.

horsecharles

re Sprint--that is not totally uncapped / unthrottled, right?

mariadroid

No caps

Sterlsilver

from my understanding the unlimited plan is what $80 per month?

mariadroid

On the commercial it says 79 for unlimited but from what my roommate tells me that is not completely true... After taxes and fees and all the charges they both pay @150 they are paying for the name Imo

$150? is that for two lines?

you gotta pay a $10 smartphone fee so thats $89 off top if your gonna try and put a 4g phone on that plan. with taxes and fees on top of that you'll be forking over about $100 a month.

nycnyc

Yeah, that's about the same price that one of my coworkers told my he pays for Sprint service. Lots of people where I work have Sprint since its cheaper, but lots complain about the signal reception at times.

mariadroid

150 one line

mariadroid

I was paying @120 for my I phone on Verizon 450 minutes and the only thing that was unlimited was text my data plan was pretty high never went over now I'm below 60 with metro

3vodroid

I have the evo 4G lte on sprint with the unlimited plan my bill is usually around 88 dollars.. One line

Is has been as high as 105 though.. I assume with apps and everything

THE W

You getting some company discount or something?

3vodroid

Nope.. No company discount at all.

THE W

how many minutes do you get?

HereticSins

Its unlimited. Lol

the data is unlimited. the plan for 88 bucks is the plan that gives you 450 minutes with unlimited text and data.

$69 + $10 smartphone fee + taxes/fees = $88

Some of you guys have some terrible Intel on sprint lol.


It's is unlimited talk, text and Web without caps or throttling.

THE W

apparently sprint has terrible intel on sprint. the link i posted is to their company site.

the unlimited all plan is $109 with smartphone fee.

THE W

hell, if you can get unlimited everything for $88 after all taxes and fees tell us how you did it and/or where you went to get that price. im not seeing it on their site.

mike28

I tried sprint for a day I get a corporate discount of 24% and still metro beats it

HereticSins

He did say he pays 105 at times

Khemul

Technically you don't get unlimited everything for that price.

But it really depends how you use your phone. For some people it is practically unlimited everything.


The keys are unlimited data and they don't count calls to cell phones towards minutes. So if you put everything through data/text, or rarely make calls to land-lines, then you won't even come close to the 450 minutes.

I think I typically use up 30-40 minutes a month, and I'm not even trying to avoid using minutes.

THE W

Yeah I know it's all about the data and 450 minutes is plenty as nights and weekends are free.

mariadroid

When you click the link this is what there plans offer 109 unlimited talk for smartphone

I have 2 smartphones (iPhone 4 and GS2) on a Family Plan. 1500 minutes (to landlines) and everything else is unlimited (mobile to mobile, data & text etc). After my 20% corporate discount I pay $132 after all taxes for both lines.

Service is excellent in my area and usually get a pretty good 4G signal.

Same type of plan with other companies would cost me a lot more.

3vodroid

The plan I have is for one phone. Sprint Htc Evo 4G LTE.. I have the unlimited plan with 1500 minutes. And the bill is around 90 bucks and the highest its been was 103 bc I had bought some apps.

AlkiDweller

That's the exact same plan I have.

3vodroid

I will post a pic of my bill when it comes In the mail if anyone wants "hard" evidence. Lol

rambo47

I have 3 iPhones on Sprint, 1500 shared minutes, unlimited data (but slow), and I pay $180 including taxes/fees.

Pros:
Cheap
Unlimited Data
Generous Employer Discounts (27% for me)

Cons:
Slow Data Speeds

greenghost2212

The only reason that is cause he got the 100 plan and its really not a reason to get it I have the 450 min unlimited everything else and I still only use about 20 min a month. Don't that many people I know still use landlines frequently and I pay about 80 bucks a month

greenghost2212

And about sprints data I avg about 1.5 mb in 3g and I'm in Chicago

This is the best description I've seen and most accurate.

I pay approximately $185 (including a corporate discount) for 3 lines. Same 1500 minute plan (landlines), but I also have insurance $8 for 2 phones.

For the people that are doubting the "unlimited" calling on the $69.99 plan (+$10 for smartphones), it actually is unlimited for mobile-to-mobile calls:

This is the formal description:
On that same $79.99 plan, the only thing that is NOT unlimited is calling to a landline or 800 number, from 7am-6:59pm, which uses the 450 minutes. Anytime from 7pm-659am is unlimited, including weekends, regardless of calling a mobile phone or land line or 800 number.

Now, if you were to compare all of those things with what is offered on the other providers, there's absolutely no way the pricing matches up. Sprint will be cheaper every time.

Well said drexappeal! Now if the Network Vision continues to roll out, it will really be a steal.

I pay $178 for 3 SmartPhone's on the Unlimited Data plan.. we must have the same plan and a very similar discount. Pry just the difference in local taxes that change it up a few bucks.

I just went through this "debating the carriers" route last year when I switched from VirginMobile prepaid to a plan. (I wanted better phones.)

Sprint's main selling point for me is that unlimited data. When it works, you blow through data easily.

Just for comparison, I also have a Prepaid T-Mobile account (the $30 special). It gives me unlimited data (4G/HSPA+ speeds up to 4GB then throttles to Edge after that), unlimited texting and 100 voice minutes. I mistakenly set my photo app to auto-upload videos and pics while on mobile internet. I blew through my 4G cap in a couple hours. At least my only penalty was really crappy data speeds until my month reset a few days later. Had I been on Verizon or AT&T I would have seen an extra $10-$20 added to my bill. I doubt I would have noticed my error either until well after the damage was done. The stupid app was uploading MP4 TV Shows I transferred to watch on the go.

As long as Sprint maintains the unlimited data, they'll have me as a customer. Change that, and I'll go shopping.

drexappeal

LOL...Ben, totally think it's the difference in taxes! Initially, when they changed to unlimited mobile-to-mobile (and it was only Sprint phones), I was worried because many of my friends had left Sprint to go to another provider...but, when they changed it to any mobile regardless of provider, I don't think I've ever come close to using that 1500 minutes. Closest I got was probably 900 minutes...maybe.

BenChase7

Exactly. On my family plan, we use about 2 or 3000 minutes a month, but whit the Any mobile, any time, regardless of carrier, we only use a few hundred of our minutes. In today's society, its just like having unlimited minutes, in most cases.

drexappeal

What's even funnier is, I'm the reason the land line minutes get used up so much...hahaha. My other family members use maybe 100 minutes combined with calls to landlines. I think the hardest part is trying to tell them to use the free 411, not the Sprint 411.

dan330

i have 450 mins on sprint.. and with the unlimited everything else. bill is under $90/month
i use my phone for business and personal...

last month.. i used 19 of the 450 minutes!!!!
calls to land-lines are dieing off.

Amen!

ironbrewer

Tell me about the free 411 please!!

By the way my sprint bill for 3 phones
with 1500 mins to land lines
unlimited data, text, mobile to mobile

is $178 a month.

dan330

why use 411? when you have unlimited data?

use the internet search functions. so many options
example:
I like to use google maps.. and search for business / services that I need in my area. get phones...

BenChase7

Or you can text the name/business and location you want to "google" and G will text you the info back. Very quickly, too

dan330

this is the first I have heard about that... i need to give this a try


NOPE> good one..you got me.. i feel for you trick. (typo: I fell for your trick)

It does work. Or at least it used to. They may have discontinued the service.


Actually now thatvi think about it I'm pretty sure the texting was discontinued.

It even worked on dumbphones

BenChase7

What? I don't understand your "trick" talk. However, the service I previously described works great. In fact, I just tested it and got the number and address reply text in under 30 seconds. You must be experiencing self inflicted user error.

Edit: PS. Whats with the attitude dan? What is, "I feel for you trick" supposed to mean? This level of immaturity is not something I've come to know for you.

There was no attitude.

He tried it, didn't work and thought you were playing a trick that he fell for.

BenChase7

Perhaps, in which case the text should have read, "I fell for your trick," and not, "I feel for you trick." As you can see, there is a big difference in what is on record and what you are suggesting he could have meant. lol Not to mention, its not even a trick! lol

Edit: Here is a link regarding the service: http://www.google.com/mobile/sms/search/
Pretty simple, really.

hi ya ben,

total typo.. it should have read.. "I fell for your trick".
which i did think it was a trick, because i tried it.

in the "text to", i put in "google"...
tabbed to next area to type in message/question/inquiry .. but errored out with not a valid number.. tried google voice and my sprint text app.

dont get it, why it does not work for me.
