So.. Sprint charges a $10 Premium Data Add-On that to use the EVO or Epic.. The so-called add-on isnt an add-on as it is REQUIRED of all EVO or Epic phones regardless if they use 4G networks or not. Sprint is making a KILLING off this as MOST of the phones arent even in 4G areas at all. While Sprint claims it is for many other contradicting services those who know better know that it is a 4G access charge.
Sprint refuses to refund, reduce, or discount this fee to ANYONE, even those who can not and never will have access for the 4G service.

Clearwire comes along and wants their payment, and now Sprint doesnt want to pay, saying that the phones cant access the 4G so they shouldnt have to pay?

How the hell does it feel Sprint? To cheat ...

Cheat customers? You want to talk about cheating customers look at Verizon or AT&T Family plans with data and text, and then call and complain to us about the $10 data, seriously, it seems everything in this counrty should be free at no commitment too. Next you are going to want a free Virgin Mobile phone, give it up already!

In all fairness, this could be the other way around.

Sprint is most likely feeling complaints from their subscribers about the extra charge. Sprint does not want to pay for something not valid just as their customers.

On a note about this charge:

I have no problem paying for this. It is still cheaper than the other carriers.

VZW and AT&T charge more for their services. Their national footprint serves more people within thier own native network coverage area. But what if I don't want the coverage? In a sense, by your complaint, I should not have to pay higher prices to these companies if I'm not going to use their services in certain areas.

People have choices. If you want the phone that badly, you pay the price. If you don't ...
