Re: sprint navigation

and they said if you are on any of the "EVERYTHING plans"

sprint nav is free, unlimited use.

*downloading from that link i posted earlier, enabled the program to not ask me to pay for anything.
it just starts up and runs!

Re: sprint navigation
 

Yes that is correct. If you aren't it's hard to say. I will try it out the next day or two and see what happens hehe.

This is what I was trying to tell you Darren...you need to be on an everything plan to have this for free...this is what Sprint told this person I quoted as well. I wasn't trying to ask too many questions, I apologize if you think I was..was just letting you know that this is what Sprint says about the navigation program...since you said otherwise I wanted to check and see how come they told you different.

Re: sprint navigation
 

Do you have the everything plan? or the SERO plan?

Re: sprint navigation
 

ill say it once more, im not on the everything plan, and my sprint navi. is free. i dont pay jack for either of my phones navi. dont care what anybody told you. sprint told ne its free and it is for me.

Re: sprint navigation
 

So what plan do you have?

Re: sprint navigation
 

Wow relax...glad it's free for you. No one's pointing fingers at you, besides it's just a forum. Before this gets off topic, I was talking about the rest of us anyway whom Sprint told it was different.

Re: sprint navigation
 

I have the SERO $30 plan and when i ran the program after it verified my account it told me I had 5 days left on my trial.

Re: sprint navigation
 

Did you download the program from the link posted on this thread or did you just run it from the preinstalled program on the phone?

Re: sprint navigation
 

I downloaded it from the link. It doesn't matter where you get it the program obtains your account information before it let's you begin.

Re: sprint navigation
 

It gave you a 5 day warning? Strange, that didn't happen to me...guess I'll find out on my next bill...

Re: sprint navigation
 

this is takin for ever to load to my phone ~~~~

Re: sprint navigation
 

does anyone have the cab? I just try both of the links but it didn't work...

Re: sprint navigation
 

It just gave me the message asking me to either pay $2.99/day or $9.99/month to use the service...

Re: sprint navigation
 

pretty sure i posted it....

Re: sprint navigation
 

I'm assuming they gave you those options because you already used up your trial. I just ran the program and it told me I had 4 days 10 hours and 22 minutes left in my trial and at the bottom it gave me two tabs: "Continue" and "Buy $9.99/month."

Being that I have the SERO $30 plan and nav in my car anyways I'm not mad that they won't give this to me for free but why couldn't they list the program under the "Uninstall Applications" damn it.

Re: sprint navigation
 

I've used it on both the Diamond, Pro, Instinct, ic902, Mogul, just about every phone that supports it. It's definitely NOT free.

You can pay $2.99/day or pay $9.99/month. Or subscribe to a Siimply Everything plan and it's included.

I listened to one of the idiots in CS who told me "Don't worry about the message saying you'll be charged per day" (when I wasn't subscribed) and got billed $2.99 every time I used it.

But, it's absolutely the best Navigation option IMO. No need to download maps that take up 2GB, it has real time traffic

Re: sprint navigation
 

Exactly, you cannot get this for free unless you have an all-you-can-eat plan or get lucky by calling CS and having them giving it to you for free...

Re: sprint navigation
 

Yeah, I just launched the app again and says I have 5 days free left after that its 9.99. I think I will just uninstall it.

Re: sprint navigation
 

You cannot get this for free. It checks your account every time you launch it. But $10 per month is well worth it for this program. Any decient GPS is going to cost close to $200 so $10 month is worth it. No outdated maps ever and real time traffic. Only drawback is you need to have data available for it to work. I have Tom Tom loaded as a backup.

Re: sprint navigation
 

On my Sprint Razr, it would keep resetting, at one point it told me I had 48 days left on my 15 day trial.

Re: sprint navigation
 

I'm getting in on this thread late, but it seems like people are still having problems. If you have Simply Everything or the Everything Data 900/450, unlimited Sprint GPS Nav is included with your package. I bought my Touch Pro at Best Buy and had them put me on the Everything Data 900 plan, but wound up getting the error like alot of people here - "$9.99/mo, $2.99/day to continue". Customer service gave me the same line about, "Blah, just tell it ok and it will work." It never worked, it just kept erroring out. I downloaded the Telenav program like other people, but that never worked. ***End result: I did a hard reset on the advice of a friend (which obviously would have sucked if I had the phone for longer than a couple days.) The Sprint NAV program gave me a trial notice for the first 5 days, which is now gone, and the program has worked without issue for 2 weeks. It's a PITA solution, but buying another program seemed stupid since I'm already paying for Sprint's.

Re: sprint navigation
 

I DO NOT have everything plan. I DO have unlimited data. I just took a trip to Louisville and needed to use the sprint navigation and it absolutely charged me $11 to use twice. I'm pretty pissed, but they will likely take off the charges. The point is.... it IS NOT FREE unless you have everything plan. Maybe some people get lucky and it isnt charge for what ever reason, but it is not free by policy. PEACE.

Re: sprint navigation
 

at first glance, that geoterrestrial program is pretty nifty.
i wonder where they get the maps from? is that just basically google maps?
i really -love- the weather that follows you. i've been wanting that for a long time.
but i want something that integrates with, well, everything else.
liek, wouldn't it be neat to somehow tie the weather location to the touchflo3d weather panel?

Re: sprint navigation
 

Its free with the powervision plan, thats why they told you that. I doubt it would be free with his Sero plan.

Re: sprint navigation
 

What the hell? I'm hearing 4 different things here...

IS THIS or IS THIS NOT included with a standard plan's internet package?

Re: sprint navigation
 

what the hell is a powervision plan? i think they stopped calling it that a while ago.
there is the basic "Vision" which is just data.
then there's the vision "premier" pack, which is like an extra 10 or 15 a month, and that includes navigation, nfl, tv, and a buncha other stuff.

if you only have data and want sprint nav, that's $10/mo.

mapquest, when it gets going on the pro, is like $4.12 a month or somesuch.

Re: sprint navigation
 

I have an "Everything Data 450" plan and it is free for me.

Re: sprint navigation
 

Amongunz - I'm not sure if you have an old rate plan, but if you have either of the "Everything Data" plans (450/900) or the "Simply Everything" plan, unlimited Sprint Nav is included. Please see the first line item at: http://nextelonline.nextel.com/en/stores/popups/everything_popup.shtml

Re: sprint navigation
 

I haven't heard anything about shared plans. I'm on the T/M/D Share 1500 and was told by the rep that navi was unlimited. Is it or is it not?
