your right about that! i am glad every one is paying it now. i got my fee waived months ago. i bet they wont do that for anybody now.
i also hope a lot of people leave sprint too! more bandwidth for me! jk!

Let me guess....you have an evo or epic...i do not. So, you're fine with paying extra, I am not. So to everyone out there, enjoy your provider and I'll enjoy mine .

If tmo is faster for you where you live then thats great, but there is a bigger picture. All I can say is I'm glad tmo is good for you but when it comes to price comparison, even with the $10 increase sprint has better prices. And I am not saying that just to say it or start a war of words, I'm going off from a consumer reports article and a direct comparison of features and plans.

I agree. If your in a good T-mobile coverage area they may be a better option.
But if your like 80% of the United States your not covered by Even 3G tMobile service!

That's some excellent coverage there...

I'm a little confused about this. Me and my wife have two evo's already paying the $10 fee for both. So say if we upgrade later on in the year to say the evo2, will there be two separate fees? One for a smart phone and one for 4g? So it will be $20 added per line on top of the plan. I currently pay $149.99 with Sprint, on T-Mobile's site the best I can get is $139.99 with half the minutes. Anyone know of any way to get it cheaper?

Why y'all beating a dead horse lol, enjoy paying more...sprint has y'all brainwashed.

And that's all well and good if you never leave where you are seeing your speeds. Personally, I'll pay the same amount and have better coverage indoors while everyone else is outside or dropping calls

You're crazy if you don't think anyone has ever had trouble with Sprint coverage indoors, anywhere. T-Mobile actually has way better 4G coverage than Sprint, both indoor and outdoor.

Also, Sprint is doing away with yearly upgrades.

Something that hasn't been brought up is T-Mobile has significantly cheaper plans than what is listed on their website. You have to call or go to a store to get those plans though and you also have to pay full retail for the phone. But with Sprint getting rid of the yearly upgrade it probably comes out to be way cheaper than Sprint.

No, it'll be what it is now. If you were already being charged the extra $10, this doesn't effect you.

I'm not saying Sprint is perfect. But when compared to t-mobile, it's better..And that's not just guessing, that's knowing first hand.

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