Sprint is a better deal for smartphones

For example, let's have the phone be a BB Curve, and the rate plan be 450 minutes with unlimited text, unlimited data, and navigation.

Sprint everything 450 = 69.99 per month
450 minutes = included
unlimited text = included
unlimited data = included
navigation = included

Verizon
450 minutes = 39.99
5000 texts (no unlimited) = 20.00
BB personal data = 29.99
VZ Navigator = 9.99

Total for Verizon = 99.97 (+29.98 from Sprint)

AT&T
450 minutes w/ rollover = 39.99
unlimited text = 20.00
BB personal data = 30.00
AT&T Navigator = 9.99

Total for AT&T = 99.98 (+29.99 from Sprint)

Why would anybody choose to pay almost 30.00 more per month???

Probably a lot of people would not choose to pay 30.00 more a month but can't afford all at once to pay an ETF with their carrier...

But there are also probably a lot of people that think ATT or Verizon are better services... I have to disagree with those people... had more problems with Verizon than any carrier I've tried, had an iPhone and it was no better than my Sprint service. Never had any real problems with any of my Sprint service regardless of handset.

umm... 🙄
unl gps is included in his pricing there. Sprint Nav, VZ Nav, and ATT Nav.

unlimited power vision is unlimited internet, which, guess what, is included in the BB data plans 🙄

i agree that sprint is cheaper and a better decision, but get your facts straight first.

VZW has the select plan, which is
450 minutes, unlimited, txt, pix, vid for $59.99. although the pricing does work out the same. you said they have no unl txt, which they do.


i believe att's plan is the same as well.

I think the Select plan is only for non PDA/Smartphones.

If you want to get technical, the Sprint plan also includes unlimited picture/video messaging, Sprint TV premier and Sprint Radio premier as well.
