Tethered Droid VS WWAN

Detouring the traffic a little bit anyone have or has used Sprint?  I have an opportunity to try them out and would like some feed back from other people also.

Sprint isn't good here in Cali.  Might be good elsewhere, just not here.

[manwinc]

No good here either.

I have Sprint and love it (I work at Radioshack and we have employee plans with Sprint, ATT, & T-Mobile and I like Sprint the best)

Speeds are great (especially in 4G). I have the HTC Hero with CyanogenMod v6 which is Android 2.2 (Froyo). I used to have the official 2.1 SenseUI installed.

It all really depends on where you live. If you're in an urban area, there's a high likelihood you can get 4G from Sprint in which case you get the EVO or the Epic and you'll be amazed! If you're in a rural area, it's not as fast, but still decent. Plus, they're way cheaper than ATT and Verizon especially when you are considering a data plan!

This is why i am checking into them because of the data plans. At&T is getting a little out rageous now that i have data plans on all our phones.

Yea...on phones, you still have an unlimited cap with Sprint (unlike the 5GB cap on Verizon & ATT)

Verizon is still uncapped here in Cali.  Could be my older plan too.

[Masscre]

AT&T here has no cap on it that i know of?  Is the 5gb per month?

[manwinc]

Yeah, my plan is supposed to by 5gb per month with Verizon, But I'm grandfathered in through alltell. I use about 1 gig a day Lol

Existing members have no cap, but new plans are capped for AT&T

[Masscre]

Roger that TM. That is a new one on me. I knew I had an unlimited plan and was like wtc and i misunderstanding something? When
I had internet through parabolic way back in the day. They had a 1gb or .5 gb cap per day after you reached cap then your DL became dial-up speed from then on, which sucked big time.

Ya, I should predicate that myself.  I have one of the old original plans before Verizon started to do the *Unlimited thing.  They are also capped at 5GB/month for normal "unlimited" accounts.  But for voice, Verizon was the clear choice for us here in Cali.  It was easier to predict that Sprint wouldn't get signal here than to find places that would.  In fact, I chatted with my sister from Las Vegas to San Diego without loosing her once on my car phone.  Amazing stuff.

You are partially correct:

ALL NEW plans have a 5GB cap.

Many plans in the past though were labeled as "Unlimited" but in the fine print said "Unlimited does not mean unreasonable, therefore there is a 5GB cap" (or something to that effect...I forget the exact wording)

If you started a plan more than 2 years ago that said Unlimited, then you probably do have truly unlimited download. Most plans in the past 2 years have had this hidden 5GB cap. It's just that now they come out and say it specifically.

I thought I said that... lol  I'd even take MOSTLY correct.  heh
