Ripoff

This 4.99 thing is a ripoff. You're paying for the internet. You're also paying for Sprint's Cell service. $10-$20 for unlimited is pretty reasonable since most VOIP services charge around the same, however, charging you to use minutes that you're already paying for is wrong. If Sprint doesn't have service at your home, you probably shouldn't be using the service in the first place(Which is why they have a 30 day buyer's remorse to try it out).

If i was Sprint, i would give an additional minute allotment for the $4.99 while roaming off this device. It might not be too many minutes, but atleast i won't feel like i'm being ripped off on an already outrageous bill.

To me, this is another way of Sprint saying "feed me", because they'r...

you know that Sprint is not the only carrier that is putting this out on the market. Verizon is also comin out with one in the next few months. And they too will most likely be charging more because the BIG RED always does. If you move to the big red and get one of the new phones with visual voice mail OH OH look you will be paying for it when Sprint has it for no charge. LAY OFF. IF you dont like sprint move and get a life that doesnt require you to vent on a subject that has no meaning. All carriers will charge for something so get use to it if your going to have a cell phone.

First of all, Opie, there's no reason to get your panties in a bunch.

What he's saying is... the $5 a month isn't the problem. But having it go against the minutes you are ALREADY paying for in addition to the monthly charge makes no sense and is, in itself, utterly ridiculous.

And this isn't about Verizon Wireless. It's about Sprint. Don't post about things that're irrelvent to the current topic - especially when VZW hasn't actually even come out with it yet.

I think his post had perfect meaning. Yours, on the other hand, was rude. Instead of voicing your opinion, you felt the need to bash Tmobin wherein you had no right to do so.

Think before you post.

T-mobile doesn't charge extra to use the minutes you're already paying for. if you want to get ripped off, then this service is great for you. fortunately for me, i'm not into throwing away money to worthless services. if that's what you're into, to each his own.
