I think this all boils down to the huge amount of people who I refer to as a common known goup. This group is called "sheeple", you tell them what they have to do and they do it. I'm not saying Sprint doesn't have a list of SE phones, I'm not saying some ppl get better deals becasue they have been with Sprint 10 years. What I'm saying is Sprint wants to make money. I am willing to bet that 7 out of 10 customers (most not being PPCgeeks) would go right along with the you need a new plan for that phone.I had the same type of problem when I got my first Pocketpc the 6700. I had the $10 a month unlimited internet or vision plan on my Sanyo. When I was negotiating terms for the 6700 they hit me with the $30 power vision plan. They tried the higher speed internet claim on me and once again average person would bend over and take it. Through research and friends at Sprint I new that EVDO was not available; and now looking back it took them 15 months to get it here. So I argued with them and finally got a rep that understood that I wasn't a sheeple and not going to pay $20 more a month for the same thing I'm getting now. Long story short I got a Touch Pro now still paying $10 month for unlimited internet and we finally have EVDO. I think all companies try these scams because nowadays people dont check their bills they have auto billpay or direct deduction. 15 years ago I was with U.S Cellular and all was good. Then all of a sudden my biil would show I was making calls from 150 miles away. I would call them asking what was up and they would tell me don't worry about it, it's in your extended calling area. Well few months after that I started getting charges for calls made outside of my calling area from places I've never been. And every month I would call and question these charges and they would say we're sorry and credit them back. To this day I swear that glitch was just to see who would pay.

Nice hammer sir cause you hit the nail dead on the head...I could post a long great post like yours but imma keep it short and sweet...quick and dirty...like my father would tell me. "Son if you knew better you would do better" which is true if ppl knew they way around things with cell carriers they would haggle better plans/add ons
