Actually its the exact opposit. I do not know where you get your information from but even after reading the exact sprint notice, sprint reps tend to be confused. Its because I have PAM/Data Card (used to) that I got out of contract and just on a month to month right now.

Its the PAM and Data Card users that ARE affected. Power Vision / Vision phones, its being debated whether they are affected or not but the official word has been no, just PAM/DC users.

The real tricky question is getting a straight answer on whether the entire usage shown on your usage page counts or just the PAM data which is flagged by your NAI.

If people want to get away without a problem with the 5 gig cap, they can keep using programs like pdanet and see what happens since the phones theirself using pv data for tv/web surfing/picture mail is not affected (so they say).
