[RONMAC]

I just switched to Sprint on Tuesday and I have to say that I could not be more pleased by this announcement. Now if they could drop the price of the TP2 I would be happy as a pig in ****.

I came from VZW and I have to say if I were to build a comparable plan it would be something like this:

Line 1 -- Touch Pro 2 (master account) and line 2 (Samsung Saga) -- $89.99
Line 3 -- LG Env2 -- $9.99
Unlimited text for all lines -- $30
Unlimited Data for Lines 1 and 2 -- $60 ($30 unlimited for each line)
Data package for Line 3 -- $20
Vcast (comparable to sprint tv?) -- $10
GPS service for all lines -- $30 ($9.99 per line)

All of this has to be broken out separately as VZW generally does not lump phone service types together so there is a different data plan for smartphones and dumbphones.

The total for VZW $250 per month which is $100 MORE than sprint which means I am saving $1,200 a year.

Sprint does not differentiate between smartphone and dumbphone when it comes to it's data packages soe there is no nickel and diming.

Also, the biggest reason I left VZW is they do not support their version of family location service on ANY of the smartphones they sell.

Cheaper and MORE services available.

My research could be off but that would be what I was paying.
