Guess I have to put up with them until December. I have had it with the mickey mouse company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Does-it-need-a-plan-20868241 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:38:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Does-it-need-a-plan-20867301 need to buy a plan with this device. There are plenty of people who would simply like to get coverage at home, and who have plenty of minutes on their plan. Can this be used to simply boost signal strength, or do you need to buy their unlimited "home" calling option???

EDIT: It looks like you MUST pay a minimum of $4.99 per month for "AIRAVE Enhanced Coverage Charge" just to have this device. Then you need to layer any applicable plan on top of that charge (if you dont want to use your wireless minutes). Kind of a rip off, given that they point out the device itself is subject to all the taxes/fees a "regular" Sprint cell phone is. This means your $4.99 charge is probably more like $10, and thats without even considering the $10 or $20 plan most people will add.

In all honesty, they shouldnt charge anything for people who dont want to have unlimited calling at home other than the $100 purchase price. If anything, the more people that have this device the less stress on Sprints towers. Furthermore, those people who have marginal (or worse) coverage at home (but spend a lot of time in an area with Sprint coverage) would love to pick one of these up. I think that by charging people more money to use a product they already are paying for is a bad business decision. Basic business classes will tell you to make your service as easy to use and accessible as possible, and more people will (pay!) use it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Does-it-need-a-plan-20867301 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:53:08 EDT
