as much as it sucks..its actually on par w/ most of the other carriers...like verizon and sprint.
I don't know what you are talking about, but I get unlimited texts on Sprint for only $5 per month.
Anyone with Sprint and not getting the SERO rate needs to get on it ASAP. $30 for 500 minutes, unlimited m2m, unlimited n&w @ 7pm, unlimited text/MMS, unlimited data. It's the best deal around, and it's open to anyone if they just go and get ANY Sprint employee email address (swing by a Sprint and get a business card or just use Google).
But then you're stuck using Sprint.
People can bitch all they want about Sprint, I know it's the cool thing to do online at the moment, but I've been a Sprint customer for two years and have had great service, both customer and technical. I was an ATT wireless user for a year and it was absolutely awful. The CS agents were idiots, the service sucked, the price sucked, it was just plain terrible. Same goes for their landline and long distance service.
On my Sprint blackberry I pay $39.99 a month FOR JUST THE DATA with NO text messages, $5 a month for mobile to mobile and $10 for night and weekends starting at 6pm
🙁
For the record, a chunk of that money goes to RIM for the push email and other services. It'd be sort of like having Mobile Me built into the price of your iPhone. Anyways, you need to switch your Sprint plan to one of the new "everything" plans. You can get 450 minutes, unlimited text/m2m/n&w @ 6, data, and BB service for about $70, which sounds like it's less than you are paying now and you'll get texts.
