Question about Sprint Power Vision

it's $15 right?

how is the service... does the internet work anywhere.. .cause I was looking at their coverage map ..seems like the Power vision map is miniscule...

also I heard that if you have wi-fi on your phone and you use it in a wi-fi hot spot ... .Sprint charges extra..

I don't have any first-hand experience with PowerVision service, because it's actually not available in Jacksonville yet, except for a hotspot at the Int'l airport. Some areas have citywide coverage (around here Orlando or Atlanta are the two nearest places with citywide coverage) while others only have hotspots. You'll have to refer to the coverage map to see how that applies to you.

I can't answer any of your other questions, but if you are in an area that has PowerVision, I've heard others say it was awesome! You can try it out at a Sprint Store if there is one nearby.

Hope this helps...

That's what i'm worried about.. im in an area that has power vision.. but i dont want to lose the service while im on the go..

but thanks for your help

Actually, I have the power Vision with Sprint and I am in Atlanta. I think it is because I am dumb as a rock......but, I can never use it. I type in the URL I want. But, the page cannot be found. I do know that they do have Sprint web pages only. But, you can search all the web I thought. Anyway, I just think that it is the users incompentance. Not Sprint nor the phone. But, if you have a question about it and all? I, believe, you can try it first had. Now the first month is free. Along with ready link, text messaging, SMS messages, and so on. Just enough to get you hooked. You can always call for the time you first put it on your contract and take it off without charges on your account.

PV will work in any EVDO coverage area, and default to 1x if you leave the area. Slower, but still useable.
No, you cannot just surf to any web page, because a phone's browser uses different coding than a PC (with it's browser). You need to access WAP enabled sites with your phone. Google it, there's lots.
Alternatively, you can download Opera Mini, a wap phone browser that can access almost anything. On your phone, go to http://mini.opera.com

The standard PowerVision phones have a WAP browser that is limited mostly to WAP sites, but as Tammy said, if your phone is capable of running a different browser (like Opera for example) you can browse almost any site.

Or if you actually do have a PPC-6700, then you can access almost anything, because it uses a regular windows html browser.
Your Moto V220 is limited to wap sites.

I think it will, but I can't say for sure. Check their site for more info. These FAQ things are great, and it seems like almost every website in the world has one
