Basically Only windows Mobile phones (and older palm) can be turned on with the family plan (if you plan is like mine it sounds like it). This is sprints way to try to strong arm you for more money.
if you "upgrade" your plan to use a different smart phone you will spend at least 75.00 of your hard eared dollars.

I tried to get a new phone. Here is my short story.
I needed a little better phone. I payed for a Samson instinct, basically I meet some one in the store they checked the phone out and looked at my plan.They told me the phone was good so I payed the guy for the phone he left then thy told me I had to "upgrade my plan for it to work after I payed for the phone.
I was left with a useless phone that sprint would not active.

The only new phone you could get is the

HTC Touch Pro2 for 200.00 with 2 year commitment.

THe other person gave you good advice ebay.com

flash the phone to WM 6.5

look at the android ports its stable but will not have good battery life.

IF you upgrade be prepared to pay.

Sprint is not going to strong arm any more, After my contract is up I will be going else were.


There is no valued reason why you cant use any smart phone you want.

The told me like 10 different things
its a limits on there network. Every thing under the sun.


Kind of funny that I use android and wm 6.5 on my diamond But I cant have a android on the family plan
I have unlimited data
1000 sms messages


I have the family plan 550
my bill is like 74,99 with 3 phones


to "upgrade my plan" It starts out at

150.00

and every one gets unlimited data and sms

My 70 year old mother dose not sms or serf the web with her feature phone and my wife could care less about either of those.

Put sprint wants them to
