And if you have multiple phones, all wanting unlimited minutes, you
are talking about 99.99 PER LINE. Not a good deal at all.

But a bit less than Verizon and AT&T charge for the same thing. If you
can live with Sprint's coverage, it's a comparatively good price.

Re: Sprint offers $90 unlimited voice, $100 including text messaging
Sprint actually has very good coverage because you can force your phone to
roam on Verizon anytime that you like. NO other cell phone service provider
gives you that capability.

If Sprint's coverage was adequate you would not have to force roam.

According to the conversation I had with Sprint Customer Service
yesterday (2/29) the only thing NOT included is "Phone as Modem".
The young lady I talked with in CS yesterday told me management has
told them to expect the rollout of a number of blockbuster service
offerings in the next 30~45 days.

Makes sense. Unlimited data to the PHONE is damned near useless because
the PHONE can't do anything but the simplest of webpages and email. If
they turn the MODEM function off, they don't have to worry about you
actually USING all that "unlimited" bandwidth for a real
computer....streaming, sharing, downloading, uploading, and all those nasty
computer things that use BANDWIDTH that PHONES are designed NOT to do.
How many gigs/month does WAP or some phone browser lacking javascript,
Flash, Java, media players and codecs, file transfers, etc. use, anyways?
100MB? 200?
My N800 tablet Bluetoothed to the MotoROKR Z6m DUN used 94GB last month,
according to the detailed bill from Alltel.....and noone complained for
$25.

Well since Sprint is the worst carrier on Earth, by far, this won't help
them much.

Sprint charges $60 for unlimited WWAN access (e.g. with an Aircard), so
there is no reason to pay $100 for it. Since the unlimited plan is
locked to one cellphone number, it's not possible to game the system by
using the Card and a phone on the same plan.

Wow...That's kinda high! I'm paying Verizon $25/mo for EVDO to my Nokia
N800 from the ROKR Z6m as a BT modem. $60 is over DOUBLE!
The trouble with Aircards is you have to buy another phone number you can't
use for anything plus pay for broadband. It's a scam.
Plug your sellphone into your laptop or bluetooth it....much cheaper! Just
buy unlimited data service, which I think Sprint also sells for around
$25/mo more than the sellphone bill.
You can also use it for the crappy stuff on the phone, if you like.
