This is the first I've heard of it...I know I saw something about this with Verizon not Sprint. Link?

Seriously man, you need to research this. T-Mobile 4G does not have the indoor issues that Sprint's Wimax has. And they have a much larger 4G footprint (see all those "nation's largest 4G network" T-Mobile commercials) as well as a much faster speed (currently upgrading from 21 megs to 42 megs while Sprint sits at 10 megs for a max 4G speed).

As for the plans, they used to be listed on the website as Even More Plus. T-Mobile recently took them down and said they would only be offered on the phone or in store. Here's a link with some info on it:

And even so, the plans listed on T-Mobile's website right now are as cheap or cheaper than Sprint's if you factor in the $10 per line fee.

They don't include navigation, but smartphones have google maps and bing anyway.

Should he not share information with other people? What's to refute if it is true. I'd just like to know. Get over yourself dude..talk about beating a dead horse. :angry7:

Yeah, didn't work for me either. That would truly suck if Sprint did get rid of the yearly upgrade. What's the point of being a premier customer?! Oh right..so they can make you think you are special :angry7:

EDIT: here is the link saying that Verizon is axing their upgrade program:

first, sprint was faster than tmobile...you were wrong. Then, sprint is cheaper, wrong again. Now you want proof of the premier plan being reworked....time for you to get over yourself and face the fact that sprint is tattooed on your butt and you enjoy it :D.

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES

i googled it and this was the best i could come up with, a forum discussion abouut vzw canceling their "new every 2" program and will sprint follow, and its all speculation. a lot of the speculators are just users from here, such as brown hornet and ziggy.
