The trend has been toward forcing people into more expensive plans. And you lose a lot of function without "always connected" data. There wouldn't be much point.
I agree. But my plan does have unlimited DATA already. So I'm just wondering if they'd ever change and let me get Hero on this plan. Essentially, i'm looking for hope! haha... so i know whether to wait or plunge into HTC TOUCH PRO 2, which I know works with older plans.

I have a Fair and Flexible plan and I have the unlimited data add on. I called Sprint right before the Hero came out and asked if the phone would work on my plan. They said no, I would need a Simply Everything plan. Since the phone wasn't out yet, I didn't push the issue.

After I compare the Moment to the Hero and decide which one I want, I will attempted to get it on my current plan, but I doubt I will be able to. Like other posters have said, Sprint is pushing their Everything plans very hard. Maybe we will get lucky and talk to the right person who will let us keep our plans, but I'm not betting on it.

Be careful with that. What I have learned is that you might find reps that will sell you the phone saying yes go ahead activate with your current line. But when you go to activate the phone after it arrives, it will force you to change.

Selling the phone and activating the phone are two different things. Person might sell it thinking it'll work, but when you activate it, it'll force a plan change.

I called Sprint to upgrade my phone to a TP2 and they told me that my Fair and Flexible Family plan with a data pack addon would not work with this phone ... told me I would have to change to an Everything plan. You said that you know the TP2 works with the older plans ... can you elaborate on how to make this work because I do NOT want to give up my Fair and Flexible plan.
