Sprint PCS Rate plan changes 4-04-04

I am signing up today because I heard that the $100 2000 min paln is
changining to to 1800 minutes. ( I always though wireless rates were
trending in the other direction but then again SprintPCS at one time
had the 2000 min plan for $ 85. What other changes are happening
4-4-04

Wow - They actually did it ! They eliminated one of their better
values !

Only that one change in their pricing that I can see, and they still
give one phone free vision at $100.

Everywhere else in the price schedule an additonal $15 gets you 400
additional minutes. From 1400 to 1800 minutes it is $20. SprintPCS is of
course free to charge whatever it wants.

But they still claim to be "Introducing" 7 PM nights. Now expiring 5/15
rather than 4/3.

Apparently SprintPCS doesn't feel the need to compete on price against
AT&T Wireless or T-Mobile

They are losing me as of 5-31. Any other carrier has always let me change
my plan or phone #, some with a small fee and some with no fee. I moved 150
miles away and wanted a new local #. If I got a new # I had to sign a new
contract. I have no problem with their service but to move to get a job to
pay my cell bill and make me sign a new 1 year contract got my goat.
Anybody have any advice about cingular? I like the idea of rollover
minutes. I have a plan with 500 minutes and have never gone over but have
come close and other months I don't even use 1/2 of them.

happy ex

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but the $45/month plan for
500 mins. is dropping to $40 and you can also add a phone for
$20/month to the $40 plan. Not bad for the low end users.

RE-update I see it on the web site. We usually get some leeway on=20
this for a little bit of time.

How much leeway . ( # days ? )

Of course they can do what they want . However they have changed a
plan the was previously better value which is unsual of most providers
