| Plans start at $69.99 (include UNLIMITED text messaging!) This is not true. You are spreading false information. I bought two Instinct phones last week purely because AT&T's plans are outrageous! iPhone 3G is a little better but a lot more expensive due to much higher AT&T monthly fees. However, Sprint Instinct even beats iPhone in some aspects!
Here are Sprint's plans for Instinct:
- $69.99 for single line includes 450 minutes for talk time and unlimited turn-by-turn GPS navigation (with text to speech Street names, traffic alerts and re-routing), unlimited streaming TV and radio channels, web access and UNLIMITED TEXT messaging!
- $129.99 for 2 lines with 1500 talk time and same features as above.
On the other hand, the cheapest equivalent iPhone 3G plans will cost:
- $69.99 + $20 (for unlimited text messaging) = $89.99 per month for 450 minutes of voice, unlimited text messaging and data. There is no FREE unlimited text messaging included. iPhone doesn't have live TV channels! The GPS navigation will probably not be like the real Telenav GPS on Sprint Instinct which even announces the names of streets like high-end car GPS units. iPhone will probably not have camcorder included while Instinct does.
- $89.99 (1400 shared minutes) + $60 ($30 x 2 for data) + $40 ($20 x 2 for unlimited text messaging) = $189.99 for 2 lines ????
NOTE:
* iPhone 3G plan rates are based on pre-release information. Actuals might change if AT&T decide to compete with Sprint!
* Even if AT&T decides to include UNLIMITED text messaging in the $30 per month data plan, Sprint's 1500 minute plan for 2 lines is cheaper!
* The $99 plan for Sprint Instinct that you mention is for "unlimited" TALK-TIME and is still cheaper than equivalent plan from AT&T and Verizon because it includes extras that others charge for!

Valencia, CA | I get 15% off service on either AT&T, Sprint or Nextel.
Sprint just has a bad vibe ... lots of roaming issues around here, and no SIM cards. I don't use data, except on my Nextel BB 7100i (free), but that network is too small to be usable for me.
