just for unlimited on sprint

is it really almost 100 bucks? because i'm trying to decide who to go with ether Sprint or Boost

Depends on what you want and or need.
If you do the math, you will find the $99.99 plan is over kill and a rip off.

Sprint has a better selection of phones, as well as more features. I would go with sprint, because there are more people to do mobile-to-mobile with, such as friends and family, even if you have the unlimited plan, it would be nice to not have them use their minutes to call you

So true.

The thing is, Sprint owns most of Boost soo basically you're going with Sprint regardless... But the simply everything plan is not that bad of a deal depending on how much you use your phone... But it doesn't include some things and if you don't ask what has an additional cost you won't find out until you get billed for something crazy... also if you have sucky credit and you have a spending limit that's 125.00 you'll get shut off every month and it won't be considered when they put it on the account... then you'll have to change your plan or just forever be shut off and making pymnts rather than just once a month, and when you change your plan you'll have to pay a month in advance all over again... so if you go with Sprint there are important things you need to ask and clarify and if it's done in a store make sure you get everything in writing and you carefully review the contact... if you do it over the phone I'd honestly record the conversation and ask to have activation fees waived... your first bill will be double too because you have to pay a month in advance... it could go really smoothly but you could run into a lot of problems....

What kind of things do you think aren't included? I am a poweruser and I use every feature of my cell phone, with no overages... I have a Simply Everything 1500 family plan. The only thing I could possibly think of would be "equipment protection".

Some reps don't include long distance when they add the plan
I'm still not sure if call forwarding is included or not either.. I've seen account where it's been free and one's where it has.. Just like anything the plan has it's Gray areas... So if you know you're going to use something other than a lot of anytimes minutes and a lot of text messages and e-mail and things like that I'd double check if there's an additional fee... If you look at sprint.com it shows and advertisement and in small little write underneath it says (some other monthly charges)... "everything" is misleading

Why would any of those other than the long distance be included (why would the sprint system not automatically include long distance?)

the call forwarding is not included with any carrier that I know of other than T-Mobile and that is 500 minutes a month for free, then they charge.

It's just a seperate feature that sometimes does not get added correctly or sometimes another feature that could have been removed and wasn't, blocks it from working.. It's a computer/technical thing I guess; it just needs to be done specifically. And call forwarding a lot of companies the only cost is if you forward your phone during the day it still uses your minutes, which defeats the purpose but that's the way it is. But some companies also have seperate fees for forwarding calls.

The $99 plan is unlimited, but who needs all that?
I have 1400 minutes shared buy two phones: Each have unlimited text,
data (power vision), and insurance = $135 including taxes and bogus fees.

What about family plans could they be added on the simply everything?

I have a Simply Everything plan that has 1500 minutes, unlimited of the following: text, web, picture messaging, gps, e-mail, tv (all the basic channels of Sprint TV).

I have three phones, 2 Samsung Instincts, 1 LG Musiq

My bill runs approx. $180 a month

Hope that helps you out, Chris

$180???
That sounds pretty good, but 1500 is not unlimited

I have the Friends & Family Plan:
See my sticky key words Sprint plan. very confusing
