Just 1 clarification: "Everything Messaging" was not the same as "Everything Data" plans. Users of "Everything Data" plans were never billed for MMS pictures. | |

|
 |  |  | | Re: 1 clarification - not problem for "Everything Data" Yes, they did. Sprint knew about the problem but did nothing at the time to fix it. Reps would give credits for the charges usually, but it's annoying for the customer to have to call in every month to request the credit. I imagine now that they've phased their Picture Mail service out in favor of true MMS that this shouldn't be a problem any longer. | |

Ha! "Sprint denied wrongdoing, but agreed to settle to avoid the burden and expense of litigation". Which means once again, an American corporation does something wrong but doesn't admit it. | |
|
 |  |  |  | | Re: - Of course they don't admit it. Even if it went to trail and they lost they would release a statement saying how they were wronged by the courts and will consider their options. | |

If the lawyers were paid by the hour this lawsuit never would have been filed at all. Everyone hates lawyers until they need one. I'm sick of hearing complaints about them. | |

Long ago, Sprint and its partners clarified in the AUP: "Unlimited does not mean unreasonable." | |

Long ago, Sprint and its partners clarified in the AUP: "Unlimited does not mean unreasonable." Your right and in my book, when I'm paying for data on my plan, then paying another fee for "premium data", they have yet explained to me the difference between the data part of my plan that I was already paying for. Was it faster? Was it better? More content? No more 256kps on a 3G EVDO RevA tower/phone? Nope, it was just a fee they tacked on going from one android phone to another and it wasn't even 4G (thank god). So, I stream like crazy off my DISH DVR and service. Looks like I've breached the magic number of 5gb a few times and have yet to get a letter or phone call or text message telling me to stop. When they do, it will be simple. Sprint, kiss my azz and/or cancel my contract along with the 4 others I have. I want an excuse to jump to a pay as I go with someone who really has service in places I go.  | |
