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?

Sprint increasing 3G data plan pricing by $10/mo, calling it 'premium data' -- Engadget

ahahaha... man, is sprint starting to suck more.

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.

They should have just done this to begin with and avoided the whole 4G $10 fee fiasco.

Here we go Again! :argue:!!!!





$30 SERO FTW!

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.

This price increase isn't too bad. I think they should have waited till the verizon iphone and after more new phones were released. Then people wouldn't be so mad. Either way alot of people saw this coming. All other companies are throttling data, capping it and switching to tiered data. Sprint still offers unlimited data. This increase also might have something to do with the feb. 7 announcement.

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