A Question about Per Megabyte Pricing.
I did a quick search but couldn't find what I am looking for and the Sprint site is mostly firewalled.
What I want to know is, what is the charge per megabyte on the Sprint network, and what services count towards that total? Also, what plan is available to eliminate that charge?
I'm doing a comparison of how companies are charging for data, so any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

sprint charges a $.03 per K/b. any data usage goes toward that total. to negate the charge, you will either have to add a vision pack to your plan, or have one of the plans that include the data.
...
vision pack (basic) is $15 per month
plans that include it are listed on sprint.com and are as follows...
450 mins 69.99 includes unlimited messaging and data
900 mins 89.99 includes unlimited messaging and data ( but for $10 more you can have the simply everything plan)
for families... prices are for 2 phones, additional lines on these particular rates are $19.99 for lines 3-5
1500 mins 129.99 includes unlimited messaging and data
3000 mins 169.99 includes unlimited messaging and data
