Sprint is by far the worst service I have ever seen.

I agree. Horrible service aside, they were not that bad.

This sound like a good deal OP. Thanks (seriously for the post). But I will pass on this hot deal.

Even with these awesome awesome plans, its not worth it if you can't use it. I was disconnected on an emergency call with 4 bars of service for crying out loud! Been through 2 phones... its not the phone - its the network (at least in northern colorado)

I've formally owned Cingular and Tmobile - I'd give both of them about an 8.5/10. Sprint gets a 4/10. 20% of my calls drop - unacceptable.

I know this is only one mans opinion and it was not my intention to thread crap... your mileage may vary (especially in other parts of the country), etc, etc, etc - but I felt I needed to throw it out there - just do some research on howardforums, cellreception.com and other websites that discuss cellular coverage by area before signing up for any carrier - I wish I did. 2 years is a long time if your unhappy

Good Luck!

Agreed...Sprint is the worst plan I ever had. I'm in MD

What area of MD are you? I remember when I had sprint 2 yrs ago it wasn't that bad. I'm thinking about going back.

i agree sprint is horrible compared to other providers..i came from cingular and saw a huge difference...but then again...you cant beat the prices for this plan..if you dont like the service pay more and get a better carrier

Unlimited Power Vision
how did you get unlimited Power Vision included? i have unlimited Vision, but my new phone uses the "Power Vision" network...just curious...for $100 (~$70 after discount) i have a 2000 AT, UL Sprint, UL text, NW @ 9pm plan, but i do get a 30% discount because of work...i'm not complaining (it's a shared plan with my wife), it'd just be nice to have unlimited Power Vision included (and not having to pay $40/mo for it).

Vision goes by the phone, if its a power vision phone, you'll have power vision service.

That's now a $40 additional charge.

Where are you getting a $40.00 additional charge? I have a 700wx with vision without a $40 charge and connecting via the Sprint mobile laptop software (you get this via a download, the instructions are on the CD with the 700wx).. Basically, if you have the vision plan you have the cell modem access. The Vision plan comes with the SERO for free. You are all set..

I missed the reference to the TREO. And I could be wrong... please correct me if I am.

I have an A920 and I was told by Sprint (ok, too trusting perhaps) that I could not use it as a modem without adding another $40 to the plan on top of the Power vision. Other online reviews confirmed this as of 2/2006.

I did see some discussion here that said you could do it without the $40 expense:
Link ...But it seems Canadians were getting slammed with 15/mb charges leading to $1K monthly bills.

I'd be interested in hearing from other non-Treo US Sprint users that got the modem to work w/o the modem charge It was part of the reason I bought the phone I did.

Sturmie,

I got mine in Feb or March from Lets Talk, it is definitely Unlimited Power vision which only costs $5 a month.

I'll have to give it a try I guess.

I live in MD, and I have pretty good service. I've had sprint for over 4 years. There are times within the Metro underground that I don't get any service...so I'll wait until I'm out. I travel along the east coast and I pretty much always have service. I've been places where I'm the only one that has service when Verizon or Cingular doesn't. I've been places where I don't or have limited. Really it hasn't affected me that much.

Hey, its usually the cheapest there is...so I'm okay with that.
And they are always the first ones to come out with new times for the start of Night-time minutes..while others are stuck at 9 PM FOR YEARS (WHICH I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHY????)...Sprint has 6 PM or 7 PM or 8 PM (depending on who you're plan). Most other companies end their Night-time at 5 AM or 6 AM, when I know Sprint ends it at 7 AM. Does this stuff really matter??...hmm.. Maybe not..Maybe..to me its part of the package.

Before I didn't like the fact that SERO started Night-time at 9 PM, but they've changed that to 7 PM, so now I just have to wait for them to change to Free Text Messaging.

So...can you get Corporate (Business) Discount (depending on where I work) also added to the SERO plans??
