Perhaps instead of believing every uninformed Sprint representative, you could go write to the source and login to your account online and click on the Terms and Conditions for your plan. Sprint's made it clear numerous times that they didn't grandfather and of the old plans in and some simple research on the 'net would also lead you to the right conclusion. How about Max Signal chiming in here. I'm sure he's also researched this topic much more extensively than just calling and asking a Sprint CSR. Better yet, you could go through all of your Sprint bills since about May and look for the notice in plain writing.

It is hard for me to understand why you seem to show so much anger about my usage plan. seems like the typical " I know everything trucker attitude".
Listen, I emailed and called and received the same response...plan is still unlimited.
Not only that, as you requested I looked through my past bills and saw no notice. In addition, my most recent bill only 6 days old says " Unlimited Usage Plan" .
Let it go, I am going to. This is my final word on this subject. Thank You all.

sprint broadband aircards

I have an card with sprint and after reading your post i checked my account with them. I use there air card and you use your cell phone as a modem right ? It still says unlimited usage. With the software they provided with aircard I don't actually sign on/off on our home computer, it just runs in the backround i can even log off my computer and it still connected. Will definetly keep an eye out in my next bill for any changes!! I can't imagine that bill!
Thanks for the info.

Well i thought it was true also...sprint called my house and the wife called me about it.thye said they were putting a 5 gig limet a month and she asked how much i was useing and they said just under 15 gigs. but nothing has changed yet even tho they said it would..she even looked around and seems that most are going that route..i dunno

but latly i've been in alot of slow areas and tryin to watch a move on abc is a joke and end up paying the $5 at the ta and pilot so i can watch them. I think its about time to get a dish.

When you go over your limit, they can "limit" your throughput. The way I've seen Sprint do it is by disabling access to the EVDO (high-speed) and restricted you to 1xRTT. Perhaps VZW is doing the same thing, or perhaps they'll hit you with a huge roaming bill.

I logged into my account online and found this.

Connection card plan policy


Plans include a maximum of 5GB of data usage. If you are on a plan with a specific limit of less than 5 GB (e.g., the 50 MB connection card plan), your plan's specific data limitation and associated overage rates continue to apply.
Truckers
Effective July 13, 2008. Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred; and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if usage either exceeds (a.) 5 GB/month in total or (b.) 300MB/month while off-network roaming.
