Gotta love employees who don't take the time to consider the impact of what they: say, do, or write. I hope Raidium finds his way to Verizon where it seems he'd do better for our team!

In fact, you should be on here(and at your store) talking up the new plans....instead of being so negative before the horse has even left the barn. You're the one hurting your sales....not the new plans. Then, Raidium, you need to become a better salesman.

I know that the 5GB is only for the aircards and I also know why they are making it a 5GB limit as I commented under the Sprint Post about it. The only thing I just didnt understand i why they didnt add another minute package to the family plan wiht more minutes and no data. Not every family plan with 1400 minutes I sold had a data plan (such as text or vision) added to it. I'm just saying that it could get alittle confusing to the Customer when I try to explain about the rate plan changes. This may as well end up being a headache for me! :cry: PineRoot,

However, they are cheaper than what you get for the same amount of money at a different carrier (not counting revolving discounts). The 5GB cap is only on data cards not phones as was cleared up in another blog (BG, Engadget maybe). Plus, when has Blackberry Internet service been included in a family plan? That might as well be gold to some users. The individual plans didn't see much change to them only one was done away with I believe. Still, the thing remains that once you take the time to look over the details and start to compare with what other carriers have, T-Mo is the only one that actually competes with Sprint as far as services for your money.

I got the new plan brochures this morning at the store and they are so confusing! Free incoming is gone and they only have like 4 different individual plans with 450, 600, 900, and unlimited minutes! And the family plans only offer 700, 1500, and 3000 and u must get messaging on the 1500 and 3000. The additional add-ons for the 700 minute plan are 9.99 while the add-ons for the others at 19.99! Not to mention the now 5GB data plans rather then unlimited. So in my opinion when the carrier attemped to make things more simplified, they made it more complicated! I know of some of my undecided customers are going to switch becasue of this! I understand that the plans they chose to keep where the most popular of the bunch but I really dont care for them.
