    Just curious. I have read where Sprint is supposed to be less expensive. Not sure what other carriers are charging. I have had my 8330 Curve for about a month now. Before that I had an LG.

    My monthly payments went from around $68.00 a month to right at $100.00 plus a month.

    When I got the phone, the sales person never talked about having to add a BB vision pack...

    So, what I pay a month, is that about right?

    Thanks all

    $25 a month unlim text, data and 500mins.. That's on a hook up.. Best deal is the $99 unlimited everything plan... Anywhere else you'll pay about that for just 500mins. Sprint has that going for them

    1250 F&F Sero
    Unlimited Data (Power Vision)
    Unlimited Texts
    Nights/Weekends @6PM
    Free Roaming
    Free Mobile to Mobile

    No BB Plan, I use Sprint's Power Vision which enables me to use BB Browser, Gmail, Sprint TV, etc. So no BB Email or BB Messenger or BB Maps (but I'm OK with it).

    $45.26 after taxes.

    Every provider has their own terminology so I am not certain what a BB Vision pack is, however, Verizon charges 29.99 for having a BB because you get unlimited email push and Internet Browsing. This is in addition to your voice plan.

    Four sprint phones sharing 1500 minutes with unliminted data, text, picture, navigation and direct connect for 1 of the phones. Insurance for 3 of the phones. Work discount of 8% brings my bill to $152 with taxes. BEST DEAL EVER! Vs. $235 from Verizon and $220 from AT&T also using discount.

    how do you have this plan? IN general how do people have plans that cost less then $50/month I want one. I'm with verizon now and I'm overpaying for everything. I want to go to sprint!!!

    I have:

    Free and Clear 1000
    40.00 per month
    1000 anytime
    Unlimited Mobile to Mobile
    Unlimited N/W @ 7pm
    America Roaming Included

    Blackberry Vision BIS
    30.00
    Unlimited data/text/email/nav

    International Discounted Long Distance
    4.00

    74.00
    Less 15% Corp Discount
    + Applicable Taxes/Fees
    =71.43 month


    The same plan on AT&T Would cost:

    59.99
    900 anytime
    Mobile 2 mobile

    8.99
    N/W @7pm

    30.00
    Unlimited Blackberry BIS

    20.00
    Unlimited Text

    9.99
    Unlimited Navigation

    3.99
    International Discounted Long Distance

    Total: 132.96
    Less my corp discount (Same as with Sprint 15%)
    + applicable taxes/fees

    Grand Total: 127.71

    So yes, Sprint is cheaper, at least for me, and I get 100 more minutes per month. I save over 56.28 per month vs AT&T, or 675.36 per year. Granted, I have a no longer available plan, but if you look at currently available plans:

    AT&T
    39.99 450 anytime plan
    8.99 7pm nights
    30.00 BIS
    20.00 Unlimited text
    9.99 Navigation
    Total: 108.97 + Tax

    vs Sprint
    39.99 450 anytime plan
    7pm nights included
    30.00 BIS
    Unlimited text included
    Unlimited Navigation included
    Total: 69.99 + tax

    Thats a savings of 38.98 per month or well over 500 per year if you factor in taxes. That's a significant savings.

    Of course if Sprint does not work well where you are, then no amount saved is worth it.

    I've been with Sprint since 1999, and with every resigning of the contract I have been able to garner a better deal.

    As of right now I have:
    Unlimited BB Data Plan w/text
    Base 240 minutes
    300 Free Minutes
    Free Nights and Weekends at 5PM
    Free America Roaming
    Free Long Distance
    Unlimited Mobile to Mobile

    The plan is really just piecemeal, but when its all added up with taxes/fees minus loyalty discounts I pay $38.57 a month. I can sacrifice the newest BBs at this price.
