You MUST have an everything data plan.
$120 / month minimum, 1 phone! No wonder they're selling the phone cheap!
$99 everything data & voice + $10 4G premium (see other posts)=$110 + some universal access fees & taxes = $120 min
Some of us have been around for a while with Sprint & get $40 shared family 1000 min (2 phones), + 15 unlimited data for both phones, + $5 for extra 200 min = $60, 1200 min. unlimited data; 2 phones 3G, was running over 300KB download of latest Energy ROM on TP2.
You cannot add anything to your current old plan to make this work! You must change to everything data!
I know this has been discussed in bits & pieces on page x of thread # yyy, but I didn't see it anywhere in the first few pages of the $10 sticky thread or today at all layed out well. So *byte* me if your a EVO flag waver & don't like this post. And yes, I know there's a $69 plan you can get to work with EVO (+$10 EVO fee)... a whoppen 400 some voice min... wahoo... doesn't work 4 me! Love the phone, hate the real cost... an extra $700 a year for just 1 phone & still have to pay for the other TP2 voice & data costs!!!
*edit* ..this is written as an FYI to clearly lay out what the real costs will be to the average customer (not including sero, corporate, etc.. discounts)
*edit2* ..adding insurance to the phone... guessing a monthly bill of $130ish by the time your done
*edit3* ..need to add for the reading challenged: the $130 possible cost in the title is for the $99 everything data & voice
as stated above... not the $69 plan, kindly worked out in post 8 to be just under $100... again for 450 minutes... not enough 4 me (mobile to mobile free... ahhh yea).. while we're at it, yes I've heard of (and have) google voice also! LOL
