Sprint Changes New Customer 30-Day Trial Policy
No doubt - welcome news, but they should have done 1 more thing...
That infernal 2yr contract.
I learned recently that Sprint only has 2-yr contract or longer options - no "no contract/bring your own hardware, and apparently not even a 1yr contract.
So, while this 30-day policy might induce some to try Sprint, it won't work for me. I need the freedom/flexibility to move to the BEST HARDWARE/TECHNOLOGY/SIGNAL combination I can find, and I am happy and willing to buy my own hardware on the open market to have the freedom to move when necessary.

Example: I was with Verizon for 5yrs, x 7 phones, because CMDA and their signal in our locale was superior. So, obviously I was free to move to a competing carrier after the 1st year (I bought phones w/ 1yr, but not 2yr, wh...

Perhaps for 4G or 3G connection cards there isn't a plan without a 2 year SA. However, as price plans are concerned, Sprint does have a Month-to-Month plan that doesn't require a contract. So, if you started service with your own equipment on that price plan then you wouldn't have a contract. You could easily change your price plan later without extending your contract since there is no contract extension on price plan changes.

I specifically wanted/needed the faster 4G datacard. Not voice service (although what a hook outstanding 4G aircard would be to bring over all of my voice plans also).
The synergies and incrememtal business opps Sprint miss w/ having/being first out w/ 4G are intriguing to me.
