The $69 dollar deal sounds great. Now if only the iPhone could somehow switch over to Sprint. That probably will never happen but hey, can't hurt to dream.

I wish the iphone was on sprint too.
I just got rid of mine because of ATT's service.!!
But I did get a pre and so far I am not missing the iphone that much.
Sprints customer service actually gave me a lot more freebies since this new deal came out.
Right now, I would have to say the best customer service award goes to sprint, followed by verizon and then US cellular , T-mobile and lastly ATT.

I have a Pre and am on Sprint. I ditched the iPhone a while back and have never missed it... not even a little.

I would gladly switch to sprint if the customer service wasn't the world's absolute worst. I remember once the employee actually hung up on me because she didn't know how to fix the problem and didn't want to mess with it. And I worked for them. Imagine regular customers.

I am a happy sprint customer and have been using them for over 10 years now. I have little reason to call customer service and find that THEY call me just to see if I like my service at least once a year.

I have had sprint for going on, 10 years. I have a voice line and a Mobile Broadband line.
Like boriqua07105 i have had very few reasons too call customer support. Even when i did i have found them too be extremely helpful with no problems at all.
Maybe 9 years ago they were bad, but they did get better. I am very happy with my service.

I am on sprint and altough they do no have the iPhone they do have the Palm Pre, HTC Hero (coming October 11th) the Samsung Instinct HD(coming at the end of the month) the HTC Touch Pro 2 not to mention the Palm PIXI (some time before X-mas) which is basically the Palm Pre with a few less features. On top of that although Sprint still has a long way to go on customer servicee there representitives have at least gotten a little bit more knowledgeable. Plus you can not beat the price on there plans!!!

Wow I sound like a sales rep. for Sprint, however I am just a very loyal customer I think the people that left for the iPhone need to do som checking into there monthly statements and see who really is the best provider.

I would love a $69 unlimited everything plan...but there's NO WAY I'd ever go back to Sprint. Well, never's a long time...but back in the 90's (yep, that far back) I gave Sprint 2 separate chances at my business and they failed miserably both times, with, as some have mentioned, the absolute worst customer service ever!

The actual cell service wasn't that good back then either...like you could hardly ever take a call inside any building. that might be better these days, but I'd never know.

I have been with Sprint for over 10 years and never had a problem with their customer service. They have always went out of their way to make sure I was happy. Recently my wife's Centro died after 1 year and a month. The manufacturer's warranty had just expired. There customer service could help me get it to stop trying to sync, so they sent me a new Centro at no charge. No insurance plan, and I got a new phone with no problem. Try that with ATT and an iPhone.

Well, they ARE just a dumb pipe, so it's nice to see a dataplan that reflects that (even though I don't have smartphone and don't have much use for one).

It's sad to see that people now call a price war a "desperate move," though. Says something about the state of our industries over the past few years, especially high tech industries and telecom service providers. Price wars, undercutting, etc, are supposed to be the norm. When someone isn't trying to undercut their competition in any way possible everyone should be looking in the dark corners for the cartel meetings.

Now if only we could get ISPs into a pricing war before they all buddy up and decide to choke and limit our bandwidth and remove all the things that actually use a broadband connection to its fullest from the list of things expected of a broadband connection. I've got a feeling they'll succeed in killing (or at least castrating) the internet, however. Quite frankly I'd rather see everything other than a dumbphone plan cost five hundred dollars a month and the internet companies locked into a pricing war.

What a neat trick Sprint is pulling BUT with customer service like Sprint, I wouldn't jump on the deal even if it was free. Sprint continues to be the worst and will only get worst. The only reason Sprint are offering all these goodies is because there's barely any traffic on Sprints network.. Sprint's knock on AT&T's network is just pure jealousy and envy.

Dunno if anyones mentioned it, but the "unlimited mobile to mobile" is only unlimited if you are on a sprint tower. If you are roaming, the call counts against your minutes. And maybe this only sounds stupid to me, but calling your voice mail no matter what tower you are one will also cost you your minutes.....

My T-Mobile contract is only $65. With phones like the G1 and MyTouch, free voice and data roaming while you're on US soil and an easy to add international plan when you're not. It's pretty hard to get me to switch back to Sprint, which I left, and impossible to get me to switch to AT&T.

I don't know about you, but Sprint customer service has been nothing but good to me.

To all of you who complain about Sprint customer service, how often do you actually NEED to call a CS rep? You realize that with these unlimited text, data and any M2M plans, you probably won't have any billing errors because you will NEVER go over on anything. That's the upside to Sprint plans, no need to worry about outrageous charges. I absolutely love Sprint and its super fast 3G network on my Touch Pro 2.

isnt this just going to slow down the sprint network unbearably as it has the at&t network?

i gotta say ive only had good experiences with sprint since ive had them. i really havent had much to call them about though in the last 3 or 4 years since i switched over. I used to have tmobile and they were bad for me.

Sprint? Meh.

The best network is Verizon and I have it with Straight Talk. Unlimited talk and text for $45 a monthly.

Prepaid, so no bills. FTW!

I've had Sprint for 3 years and have had nothing but problems with them...From the unvoluntary extending of a contract to constant dropped calls. I have gone thru 9 (yes 9 different) phones with them and every single one of them had a problem. When I lived in New York City (where you should have cell service everywhere) I would have to go 2 blocks from my house, just to use the phone. I have been with Verizon (crazy high bills), Nextel (Notell, no telling when it will work), Sprint (more like a limp), T-mobile (used minutes even when I did not), Cricket (great, but limited useage areas) & AT&T (limited useage areas back then). I would have to say that coming on my 3rd year with Sprint, that I would never use them again. Cust. Service w/sprint sucks! Numerous hang-ups, transfering 6 times to get someone willing to actually do their job, poor service and worse tech support. I will be leaving Sprint next month and will be going back to AT&T (iPhone or not). Sprint might be lowering their prices, but not worth compromising for very poor service and the worst customer service, I have ever dealt with. They are also in the middle of a Class action lawsuit for the very reasons I mentioned above. Over-seas, you would never deal with this BS that our corporations pull here. No thanks, you can keep your sprint service, I am on to better stuff....

I made the switch to sprint a year ago and was very concerned about the customer service. Surprisingly after a year they have the best service I have ever encountered now. I applaud them of recognizing their weakness and working really hard to turn it in to what is now a strength of theirs. I have never been hung up on and never waited more than 30 secs to get an operator(live person). I recommend giving them the 30 day trial and if you don't like it cancel and switch services.

the thing they don't mention is that it does NOT including roaming. since most Sprint customers are roaming most of the time, it will only end up biting those foolish enough to go with Sprint in the butt.

Spriont can't be worse than the people's arch enemy Verizon! I have never had good customer service with them -- we have been with them since Verizon took over our pst phone service (about 10 years) and not once have they ever solved a problem satisfatorily for us and we have $500.00 a month worth of phones with them.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I was a loyal Verizon customer for 10 years and switched to the iPhone on AT&T because I really wanted it - I took it back at the 28 day mark because I did not get service at my house. I then decided to switch to Sprint because I was tired of being "nickel and dimed to death" and was welcomed on that day with the Anytime Anymobile plan - that was confirmation enough! Luckily, my switch was not a whim, but rather due to having a Sprint Blackberry from work, I had a chance to "test the waters" - and it seemed to work everywhere I had Verizon.
I now plan on using my 30 day phone return to get the HTC Hero, which looks brilliant! I have 4 lines and everyone can have GPS, unlimited text, TV, unlimited data, and they can all call other phones for around 150/month! And I just found out that I can now finally make calls in Robbins, TN (where no other carrier works) without help of a femtocell! GO SPRINT!
