If Sprint wants to justify this $10 charge, I say they can keep the ED plans and also have mandatory data add ons but also let you choose if you want unlimited text, Sprint Navi, Sprint tv, any mobile, nights and weekends at 7, and lower minute plans, yes lower.

As many have said, not everybody needs everything that they ED plans offer. I personally dont need unlimited text, Navi, tv nights and weekends at 7. I have worked to get the perfect plan for me and have it now with my 300min unlimited incoming plan with 1000 text, pick 5, no navi, limited tv and its always worked for me.

Once you give people the freedom the reduce their bill to add the mandatory $10 charge, they can swallow it better. I never had a sero plan and never had use for it because it didnt meet my needs even though it was cheaper than the plan I have now back then. I wasnt and still are not a big texter and if I need to I can use my email or Google voice, never need navi, tv (have slingbox so i watch real tv).

I can understand the arguments of those who say they like to pick the amount of text they would like and the little add ons they really dont need.

Sprint can still keep the ED plans for those who want all of that and limited mins but also allow us to pick our poison.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
