New Unlimited except for talk plans coming to Sprint June 15

The press release details new plans coming on June 15th. Everything is unlimited except for talk minutes. And you can add lines for $9.99 or $19.99. The $9.99 is just for sharing minutes and messaging. Pretty good deal for me since I have a few lines.

that's the same basic pricing structure from a year ago. granted they did a pretty good job merging with the everything.

the biggest thing is they are including black berry service, so no paying extra like it is now.

I hear they're adding tethering to the Everything plan for $15 a month, according to a friend who spoke to them yesterday.

EDIT: I just looked over the new pricing. It's still no better than what I've got now. If I kept all my lines of service and dropped down to 1500 minutes I'd save about $25, although I'd gain the unlimited Sprint TV and GPS navigation that I don't currently have. But since I'm planning to drop one of my five lines anyway, after that I'd be spending $9 more a month for 500 less minutes, but added the TV and GPS. I don't think it's worth it.

Yep, according to the new brochures:

Quote:

Add Phone-as-Modem for an additional $15/mo. with a data limitation of 5GB/mo. in total or 300MB/mo while off-network roaming.

I'm wondering if they found a way to tell if we're tethering, even with hacks, ect.. and that's why they implemented the cap. they don't care how much you use ON the phone, but kinda hard to hit 5gb without tether.
don't really care as long as I can still "casual tether" only use it maybe 20-30 times a year.

My friend works as a 3rd party for Sprint CS, and she showed me the Service Plans/Rates pamphlet and noticed:

"Messaging" will include(text/picture/video)

No need to have a "Vision package"$15.00 now called "Data Pack"$15.00 unless you email/web.

I used up:

Vision Data - 8968128kB/8.55GB - Unlimited

Still no extra charges on my bill, just the regular $30/month SERO 500 plan.
