For a few years I've been suffering in my area with only 1x, couldn't wait till I got faster speeds... I even thought about switching to Alltel (now Verizon) because they had EVDO in my area
I didn't, I stuck it with Sprint and toughed it out
Just a few minutes ago I went to the Verzion site just to check out to see what I'd be paying had I switched... right now this is what I have for Sprint
Everything Data Family with Any Mobile Anytime 1500
This plan includes
* Any Mobile, Anytime: Unlimited domestic calls from the Sprint network to and from ANY U.S. mobile phone regardless of carrier. Any network, any time.
* Unlimited data: Web surfing, email, BlackBerry Internet Services (BIS), GPS Navigation, Sprint TV and Radio, NASCAR Sprint Cup MobileSM
* Unlimited messaging: Text, pictures and video
* Talk: Night calling and weekends starting at 7 p.m., nationwide long distance and no roaming charges
I have two lines, usually it's $19.99 for a second line per line per month, since I'm a long time Sprint customer they give it to me for free... I also get other discounts and my bill usually comes in at about $111.00 per month (nonSERO) this total includes Total Equipment Replacement insurance for both lines... My job gives me a $97.00 a month stipend for cell phone so I only pay $14.00 out-of-pocket. I need to get business email on my phone too... I have a Samsung Moment and my daughter (who shares this account with me) had a HTC Hero
So I go to Verizon and try to find a similar plan only for individual and not family, the total before taxes is $170.94... holy cow!! They even charge you 2 bucks a month for a detailed bill... whoa!
Verizon plan I picked
Nationwide Talk & Text 900, Total Equipment Coverage, Unlimited Corporate Email & Web for BlackBerry, Visual Voice Mail, V CAST Music and Videos On Demand, VZ Navigatorsm
I'm sure glad I stuck it out with Sprint
