Don't really have a strong preference, probably whichever comes out first.

do you think its worth adding a line to get the phone then rent out the line with a dif phone?

In the end it's $215.99 for the primary line with 4,000 minutes, $15.99 per additional line. That's before the 22% off.
That's with unlimited SMS, without that it's cheaper.
It also comes with pick 10 and I set up a GV number with all the phones on it so we can make unlimited phone calls.
It also comes with free M2M and N&W.

Unlimited data is $29.99 per line, before the 22% corporate-liable discount.

All accessories are also 35% off with free shipping.

will the 22% definitely come off whole bill or just primary line? im about to try to negotiate for 12 lines, probably 7500 minutes, hoping i can get something like that on the whole bill, right now i just get an employee discount on primary line...any tips as to what they respond well to for big discounts? anything would be appreciated....
also, did you try to have them waive/ reduce additional line fees? they once had their "smartphones talk free" promotion (additional line fee waived for smartphones) and i heard its something they might be willing to negotiate even though the promo if officially over...
thanks

Never heard of that promo before.

22% is only off the primary, but I do get 22% off the data for all lines.
So...
Primary: $168.48
Secondary: $15.99 x 7 = $111.93
MRC without data=$280.41+
Data: $23.40 per line.

Definitely much more than we paid Sprint. But the phone CS so far has been infinitely better and the service is definitely better with far fewer dead zones and dropped calls.

So comes in just under $60 a line...

With data, yes. But not all the lines have data.
$35+ per line before data and $23.40+ for data per line.

With Sprint it was $16+ per line with data. Hence why I had a Centro for so long!

If you don't need SMS the price would be
Primary: $148.20
Secondary: $9.99 x 7 = $69.93
MRC without data=$218.13+
Data: $23.40 per line.

$27.27+ per line, so there's a $7.75 per line premium for SMS.

If you were to add data to the other lines later would you still get the unlimited plan on those?

That's where it gets confusing. I think it needs to be added now but I'm not positive.

What are wireless taxes like in CLE/OH?

sl · « **Reply #53 on:** June 27, 2011, 12:43:03 AM »

FYI, Verizon is notorious for their throttling past 5GB a month. Almost unusable after that.

Also, Droid Bionic coming in August

So Droid 3, Droid Bionic, or Samsung Galaxy S2??

Just curious, why did you eliminate the Droid Charge?

Mixed reviews, not dual core, on the thicker side.

I heard that the unlimited 3g data plan is different from the 4g unlimited plan. So if you updated your phone to 4g you would lose unlimited data unless you had a 4g plan before the change. I havn't confirmed this with a rep, but the 4g phones out now kinda suck. I'm going to see if I can add 4g data without a 4g phone to my plan. Just in case.

Is iPhone 5 gonna be 4G? excuse my ignorance, but I'm also a free and clear sprint customer who is in jeopardy of losing my line. (I know many ppl who have already gotten the dreaded letter, and I fear I may be somewhere up that list). So I'm thinking VZW. I would prefer iPhone but wouldn't sacrifice 4G for it.

Sprint unceremoniously and quite obnoxiously shut down my 10 year old plan without any reason given other than a 30 day notice of termination.
Negotiated 22% off of 8 lines with VZW and hope to never look back. Anyway it's a good excuse to join the 21st century and get an android 4g phone.

I haven't yet been shut down by sprint but im considering switching anyway. how did you get the 22%? as of now they're offering me 8%, what type of business did you claim to be?
