I know what you mean, I'm on the Fair and Flex 3000 which is 3000 mins for $20 , then i paid another $20 for unlimited data,texts, pics whatever..so $40 then then cheapest plan is what.. $60 with 490 mins? so i'm losing minutes and paying more, so do you see why we would be upset? Even while talking to a rep, i'd have to be on Unlimited because I use my phone for business which means over 2000 mins a month. So that's a $60 price increase. But the bad part is now anyone with an older plan is going to be forced to upgrade, no matter what phone you buy. My mother and bro are on a family plan, he got a new phone and put it on a new unlimited plan passing his old phone to my mother, even though it was on her plan they told her the phone could not support her SERO plan. It took her yelling and showing them that it was supported before til they finally gave in and put it on her plan. It's just Sprints way of forcing everyone to get onto a plan and pay more money. But it's okay, i'm just going to wait for Verizon to get the Iphone, (I run mac anyway) and by then their Iphone will be a better then the pre i predict.
