Well, I'm back with a LOUD ANNOUNCEMENT for all you people out there who've read all the reviews and seen all the commercials for the Palm Pre and just can't wait to get your hands on one, BUT, belong to another phone carrier......."RUN, RUN FAST, HURRY AND ESCAPE TO THE DOORS OF SPRINT.COM!! YOUR WASTING YOUR MONEY AT THESE OTHER CARRIERS, THEY'RE BLEEDING YOU DRY...COME TO SPRINT A.S.A.P.

I've been with SPRINT since 1998 and have never changed. Yes we've had our ugly times but we've always worked it out. I decided to check in with Verizon and AT&T, the top two leading cell phone carriers, for their pricing of a 3000 minute family plan. Why did I chose this plan? Because that's the plan that my husband, myself and my son have. So, lets do a cost comparison for 3 PEOPLE on the plan and own a SMART PHONE (Blackberry, Iphone, or Palm Pre):

THESE PRICES ARE FOR 1 MONTH WITH 3 PEOPLE ON THE PLAN

COMPANY....3000 min FP........DATA.......TXT/PIC......GPS........TV......ADD PER.......TOTALS

AT&T............$149.99...........$30 ea.......$10 ea.....$10 ea......N/A.......$9.99.........$309.99 mth

VERIZON........$149.99..........$30 ea........$10 ea.....$10 ea......N/A.......$9.99.........$309.99 mth

SPRINT..........$169.99...........incl...........incl...........incl.........incl.........$19.00.......$189.98 mth

REMEMBER, these prices are for 1 month with 3 people on plan. AT&T and Verizon charge for the third person and up is $9.99 ea. But Sprint's charge for 3 people and up is $19.99 ea. A bit more but you still come out cheaper than AT&T and Verizon.

NOW LETS DO THE MATH FOR A YEAR

AT&T........$309.99 a mth x 12 = $3,720.00

VERIZON....$309.99 a mth x 12 = $3,720.00

SPRINT......$189.99 a mth x 12 = $2,280.00

SAVINGS: AT&T/VERIZON $3,720.00 -(subtract) SPRINT $2,280.00 = $1,440.00 (SAVED)

So in these hard economical times we really need to re-think what we're spending money on and how much we're getting for our money. With AT&T and VERIZON you have to pay for each individual thing you want but with SPRINT you get everything you need in one package for a very low price.

NEED I SAY MORE!
