Thats right! In some markets sprint is now offering unlimited anytime minutes for 95.00 per line and 75.00 for each additional line. Its their new program called "Sprint Complete Sense" Basiclly you have to sign up for Sprint Local telephone service, sprint long distance, and sprint pcs. If you don't care to spend that much, then you get a 5% discount off your monthly bill. There are some restrictions, such as, it can't be a business account, and if your getting some sort of company discount, you have to give it up to get the plan. Don't bother calling customer care to have this set up. Its only availible at the sprint store and the plan is contingent on qualifying for sprint local and sprint long distance. Its also restricted based on your credit evaluation done by sprint pcs when your account was set up. You must have an account that approved for 2 or more lines to qualify for the plan. I figured some of you might like to know this! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] jj |

Does the $95/mo include the home phone service and long distance as well? Additionally, is this program only for use on the Sprint PCS network, or is it similar to the Free and Clear America plans that offer no roaming charges?

I didn't know Sprint had "local" telephone service. In my area, it's either Pacific Bell or Verizon. I wish Sprint would offer unlimited anytime without any "strings" attached. If they did that, I wouldn't need my land line...of course that would eliminate local and long distance service for Sprint. |

the 95 is only for the sprint pcs side. you still have seprate charges for local service. you can check the sprint web site to see if your in an area that has sprint local sprint.com As far as the roaming...its not included. its only for calls made on the sprint network, however there is no roaming as long as you're on the network and long distance is included. jj |

here is a list of markets. that should be offering this plan/combo. Rio Grande Valley Tulsa District Portland District Oklahoma City District Little Rock District Salt Lake City District Kansas City District Louisville District Milwaukee District Wichita District Des Moines District Pittsburgh District Omaha District Austin District Denver District Wilmington District Tucson District Indianapolis District Nashville District New Orleans District San Antonio District Dallas District New York City District Toledo District Minneapolis District Birmingham District Boston West District Sacramento District Buffalo District St. Louis District Phoenix District Miami District Tacoma District Hartford District Detroit District Lexington District Washington DC District Corpus Christi Gulf Coast District Jacksonville District Tallahassee District Los Angeles District San Diego District Las Vegas District Orlando District Tampa Bay District Columbus District Dayton District Memphis District Chattanooga District Charlotte District Greensboro District Raleigh District Houston District Chicago District Youngstown District Atlanta District Honolulu District Richmond District Norfolk District If you have DSL with your current local service company you will not be able to switch your service until the DSL feature is canceled. Distinctive Ring is another feature that would prevent a you from transferring your service. NEW PCS customer need to go to their local Sprint retail location. EXISTING PCS customer should need to call 1-800-PIN-DROP |

Now I posted this earlier....but it didnt show up. Why would one really *need* unlimited LD from home when one has unlimited cellular? Just kind of a waste, unless you have two or more HUGE talkers who use LD all the time, so more than 1 person can talk. Otherwise...eh...and the commercial in Philly is ANNOYING! I am tired of hearing that idiot sing in the SPCS guy's face.

I dont think its so much for people that use alot of long distance, but more of a benifit for those that use alot of airtime with the moble phone. I mean, lets say you get the local plan with unlimited ld for your home and is 60.00 dollars...then you get the unlimited minutes with your wireless phone for 95.00. Your basicly getting an unlimited wireless plan for 155.00 a month, and you don't have to worry about overage charges. Im sure many people easly spend that on wireless service. Also some people don't get good reception within their homes, so this would benifit them as well. jj |
