On: The True Price of SMS Messages

[bouncingsoul]

I'm on a Sprint SERO plan, which is their employee referral program: http://www.sprint.com/sero

They opened it up to the public after the iPhone came out. so you can use this address to signup: savings@sprintemi.com

I pay about $34 a month for 500 anytime, unlimited n/w (nights start at 7pm), unlimited data, and unlimited texts.

Unlimited texts aren't part of the plan, but if you ask for it after signing up they should give it to you.

I've never had a problem with Sprint's network.

This is the cell phone plan to get.

The problem is that you have to get a phones sold by Sprint which sucks.

Sim-cards is a great invention. Compare with computers, imagine if you bought a computer from Dell that would only be allowed to run on the Dell-DSL network and only allowed to run Dell-approved software. Not a great deal

True. Another problem is that the rest of the world uses GSM, so if you ever want to travel outside of the US you need a GSM phone.
