Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
Straight off the sprint site:

"Sprint will increase its postpaid rates by applying a $10 pe month Premium Data add-on charge to activations of smartphones beginning Jan. 30. The charge will assist Sprint in offering simple and affordable unlimited plans f its customers while maintaining a wireless network able t meet the growing appetite for a richer mobile experience. Subscribers with smartphones will still receiv the best value in wireless, with features such as Any Mobile, Anytime offered nationwide only by Sprint."

What do you guys think?

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
They should have just done this to begin with and avoided the whole 4G $10 fee fiasco.

Here we go Again! !!!!





$30 SERO FTW!

Already a thread for this, and it doesn't affect the Epic.

I wonder how many people are going to see this as another reason to switch to verizon and get the iphone? Prices won't be too much different.

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
im sure this is a response to the premium data fee class action lawsuit. now the 4g customers cant say they are being singled out and not allowed to use their unlimited data to the fullest extent.
