Re: Is Sprint cracking down on data usage?

Only in certain areas, T-mobile has a 10GB option,plus if this is true then no one will be able to knock T-mo anymore.

Does Sprint CEO Dan Hesse Want To Work On A Deal With T-Mobile?

$55/month for 10 GB, Sweet I haven't seen that plan on their website.
I do see $94.99/month on their value plans for 500 minutes unlimited text and 10gb of data. That's when you buy the phone at retail price.

yea the $55 is what makes it $94.99 the just talk and text is $39.99. I get a discount on it so I'll pay less than that and sometimes they have deals on the phones that don't require paying full price.

Re: Is Sprint cracking down on data usage?

Thanks for all the info however I don't think T Mobile has service where I live and I refuse to go with Verizon as I have seen how friends and family of mine have been treated on Verizon. As far as the larger companies go that only leaves US Cellular (which I used to have and had extremely slow data) and AT&T (which I have been told has horrible coverage around here). I will likely stick it out with Sprint for a while. There are a few local prepaid companies I might look into that claim to offer unlimited calling and data for $40 a month and they say they have android phones. Sounds too good to be true but I am going to have to check it out.

Virgin mobile, metro pcs should be good and cheap. And im sorry your family had issues with verizon as i have not thus far. The service has been top notch although it is expensive.

It is not an issue with Verizon's service as much as their method of billing. A friend of mine signed up for the tethering plan a couple years ago which he was told was unlimited. After the first month he ended up getting a bill for over $500. He had to fight them tooth and nail to get it reduced. A family member of mine was billed hundreds of dollars for calls they never made (I know because their bill said they called me and talked to me multiple times for hours on end at a time when I was at work and never talked to them or received a call from them). There were a few more incidents I wont get into.



Virgin mobile may be a possibility. Metropcs would be a good option but I'm not sure they have coverage where I live.

There should be coverage maps available online for each carrier.
