Sprint's Simply Everything Plan rocks

After being a Nextel customer since Nov' 2005 (as per archived), I am proud to announce my long delayed upgrade to the Blackberry 8830 from Sprint Mobile. 

After severe temptations and a real life test in discipline, the newest announcement from Sprint got me giddy for a new Blackberry once again and I am now tickled with glee. oh, the joy.  hehe.

The 500 Free incoming plan offered a lot of value for me at the time.  I ditched that plan a year after my contractual obligations with Nextel for a very delicious "Simply Everything plan". 

Basically, for the same price, I get:

• UNLIMITED data
• UNLIMITED 'Chirp'* (aka, walke talkie)
• AND....
• UNLIMITED Voice ! for $99.99

Less than what I am paying now.  On top of that, at least according to sales, UNLIMITED Blackberry as a modem for my laptop (otherwise $15/extra/month).  sweet.

I thank the guys at BOL (BuzOutLoud) podcast for bringing this to light with me.  Molly, Tom & gang, you guys rock.  The new CEO over at Sprint has done a good thing for the customers. 

Now, if they can only lower their air card pricing (say $35/month unlimited?) or offer VOiP cell phones through the cell networks for a flat low monthly rate, that would indeed be hot.  The "Simply Everything Plan" is worth a look.  $99.95 before taxes may be a lot for some of you, especially if you are not a data hippo like me, but they have other similar offers that are cheaper.  Find the plan that suits you here.

* too bad the 8830 does not support walkie talkies....but who cares, i have unlimited voice!  glee!
