Re: Nobody at the wheel

Indeed. ATTM and VZW's rates, especially data rates, are considerably more expensive, and their data network usage policies are far restrictive than Sprint's are (VZW's are *far* more restrictive).

I have 3 Sprint lines on a shared plan (two dumbphones, one smartphone) and one line (also a smartphone) on a SERO 500 plan; and with unlimited data on three lines, unlimited SMS on all of them, and unlimited MMS (or Sprint's equivalent) on one, and I pay about $130/mo. including taxes, surcharges and 'unfees.'

I've priced out similar services on ATTM and VZW and I figure I'd be paying something over $200 were I to get the same services from either of them.

One wonders what they'd be charging and what their data usage policies if Sprint weren't in the market too.

agreed; I pay pay about $100 a month for 3 SERO plans (500 minutes); no other mainstream cellphone carrier in the nation can top this. And why can Sprint do this? Simple; because of their huge data network, which raises massive revenues.

Yeah, Sprint's customer service sucks, but their actual product is beyond amazing. If XOHM plays their WiMAX card right, they'll totally dominate the wireless broadband sector.

by the by, I like your avatar.
