What is a "Sellphone"? Is that like when you go into a cellular phone store
and they sell you a phone?

That would be the wireless phone in your pocket that nickel and dimes you
to death, charging you by the month for the simplest of applications like
copying your pictures to your PC or transferring the tiniest messages on
the planet for $900,000 per gigabyte.

Everything a SELLphone does is to SELL you something more.....TV, music,
messages, internet, ad nauseum.....

It's like a goddamned box office in your pocket!

$39.99 PAM Plan which is unlimited, but they don't have any Rev A
phones, so a data card is better (with a $59.99 plan).

While dumping the alt.cellular.attws,alt.cellular.sprintpcs bit bucket,

On the other hand, the PAM plan can be started and stopped at will,
while the data card commits you to 2-year contract. The value of the
trade-offs either way would depend on your own usage of course.

Good point, I forgot about that. When I do add that kind of
"feature" (depending on what carrier calls such an add-on), I
state or ask very clearly that I can use it month to month.
With all the stories floating around with people getting
their contract extended for the smallest things...

Yep, that's definitely something you want to make clear up front. I
think some of the data card plans allow for a suspension of service for
some period of time, but it gets added on the other end.

Only if YOU decide to make it so. My cell phone has absolutely NO
third party software on it. I use it to ---gasp--- make phone calls.
That's it.

Just because You, Larry, don't like the terms and agreements of the
third party apps, doesn't mean everybody agrees with you.

Now go crawl back under your rock.

Where does it say that? There's not a single mention of PRICE anywhere on
those webpages.....

It is a SCAM and a SPAMMER. I removed the URL of the spammer as to not
proliferate the spam.
