Simply Everything?

[Sugarpunk]

Is it unreasonable of me to be angry that Sprint is requiring a move to the Simply Everything plan in order to get the upgrade for a new phone?

I've got an old plan and moving to SEP would cost me $10/month for the exact same thing I have only 400 less minutes. I know I can go $99 for all in but why...why would I just about double my monthly bill? It would be so fun to have the new Pre but I just can't justify it. Am I being unreasonable? Am I missing something?

They need to subsidize there subsidization.
If you don't want to switch then don't get the Pre ):

I can't either of you are being unreasonable.

You are not being unreasonable, I think many people are upset with having to switch their previous plans. My only advice would be to try and ask for discounts. Maybe based on a school you go to, a job you have/sibling/ or partner has. There are many ways to decrease your bill. Hopefully you can find something that works out and allows to you to get the Pre.

I think it's funny the difference in perspective of someone who has been with Sprint for a while. I came over from Verizon, and I can't believe how cheap the Sprint plans are!

If you use a lot of data and TXT, but not a ton of minutes, and you have some friends with similar usage plans, go in with them on an Everything Data Share plan. Very economical.

i had to switch my plan from a fair and flexible to the 69.99 plan. which includes 450 minutes + unlimited messaging + unlimited data. and all the usual stuff....unlimited nights/weekends at 7, free roaming, voicemail, blah blah blah

The Palm Pre and the technology behind requires heavy data usage, so a Simply Everything plan would be a must. They're just trying to keep you from getting swallowed in data usage charges.

currently have a touch pro but looking into buying a pre, probably on ebay. Noticed that there's some restrictions on the plan. We currently have a family plan with 2 touch pros and unlimited data per the vision package.

there was a post i read that mentioned that the requirements for having a certain plan will be over after the 60 day exclusive ends.

anyone familiar with this?
