I just got a BB Curve 8330 yesterday and I hooked up PAM easily and with no seperate activation. I got concerned that I’d get an outrageous bill so I disconnected it and called Sprint for more details. I went through 2 reps and they barely had any idea what I was talking about. So maybe Sprint has enabled it but it’s not quite public knowledge yet.

there have been rumors that the phone as modem feature does NOT work with the simply everything and never will…ive talked with a few sprint associates over the phone and they said they are working on it and will soon be able to…but i find this kinda hard to believe…its like im waiting for what i paid to get here but they dotn even know for sure if they can do it…does anyone know for sure if this is possible…idk i feel like i already wasted money paying 2 for 2 months without this feature and yes its gonna be another month according to the sprint people

“Sprint had it chance to make a name for itself, now it must play catchup. Show me a positive subscriber base and I will retract my statements.”

So if everyone at tmobile jumped off a bridge you would too?

In this case it does.

This is a great deal if it truly has unlimited calling and data including using phones as a modem. Most unlimited data plans be it either a blackberry or internet plan doesn’t offer unlimited bandwith while using the phone as a modems. T-mobile being the exeption to the rule. They allow subsscribers to the blackberry or total internet feature unlimited data when using phone as a modem.

T-mobile had an awesome 2007 and Sprint needs to attract more customers if they want to maintain beingthe 3rd largest wireless sevice provider here in the US. T-mobile is more then eager to take that away from them.”

Too bad sprint does have unlimited tethering, and who takes Tmobile’s network seriously? It can barely support sidekick’s bandwidth.

“too bad sprint doent have a fall back data network where it doesnt work att at least data works on their entire network”

What are you talking about? Sprint’s Data works where ever Verizon data works, and if you look at either of the coverage maps that alot more than ATT

“Just called sprint to change my plan to the unlimited plan and guess what guys? This plan works on every phone sprint has except blackberry’s! Thats right even though in the ad the first phone pictured is a blackberry 8830 customer service was told not to put this plan on ANY blackberry’s. Once agin sprint YOU SUCK!”

Thanks clump for clearing that up, dude’s a liar, I just got it on my 8830.

So Sprint’s is unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, TV, music, GPS navigation for $99.

Verizon’s unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, (no TV), (no music), GPS navigation is $139.

Umm, can you hear Sprint NOW, Verizon?

Not only do these plans not include PAM (Sprint’s term for tethering), PAM cannot be added as an option. Brilliant.

I wonder if there’s any chance that it’ll be less than $99 through SERO? I keep considering Sprint… this could definitely help.

yes great move by Sprint, hopefully ATT(my carrier) will hop on board. But as JD said it should include tetherting as well.

This isn’t going to turn around their failing company and deteriorating stock prices. They need some major overhaul.

It’s funny how sometimes “Unlimited” doesn’t mean unlimited, and “Everything” just does include everything…

This is really impressive of Sprint. I hope the other carriers follow suit soon. Especially my carrier, at&t…

That last sentence is bull. Sprint has amazing voice coverage, right on par with any other carrier. Data is getting their, they have more EV-DO areas than ATT has HSDPA areas though that is for damn sure. More on this story over at cellformer.

But, it’s still Sprint!!! That’s like saying you are putting a crown on a piece of poop. It might be king, but it still stinks.
