Re: I still don't understand why they want to charge you--- said by RockyBB:said by djrobx: Offer the hardware, and then offer an "at home unlimited" feature for an additional, optional cost? That is exactly Sprint's offer. No, Sprint requires you have a plan specifically tied to the device. Verizon appears to be just the opposite (no plan required). Hopefully, ATT will realize people might want either, and actually offer both options.

I have a plan with a fee for that plan, and then a monthly fee to use the device .... minutes used on the device don't count against the allowance on the plan. |

We are saying the same thing, just using different words. Sprint makes you pay a fee (call it a plan, charge, etc.) each month to have the device. The do not offer the option to simply buy the unit, then use your standard wireless minutes. It looks like just Verizon is doing this, although if we look further they too might be charging some sort of fee (charge, etc.) each month to have the device as well.

kudos:1 | I swear I've read people saying that they whined hard enough and didn't have to pay the fee for the device monthly. |

Apparently if you complain enough they will give you the device for free and not charge you a monthly fee. However, for the sake of argument I am just pointing out their standard offering involves paying a fee each month to have it.
