i see your point. as mentioned before, sprint unl evdo package is $15 and i'm cool with that. as for verizon, $40 is a total rip off. that's more than what i pay for my broadband service at home.
personally, i hate verizon.
i think that verizon provides good service, as far as reception goes, but they are a huge scam. i hate the fact that damn near all of their bluetooth devices have been tampered with to "prevent people from hacking your device".
