Hi all. I am currently out of contract w/ Sprint on a Treo 650 with a $15 Vision plan. I mainly use the data access for web surfing (light usage) and heavy email usage. I also, on occassion, maybe twice a month, use the phone as a modem with my laptop via bluetooth and #777.
I am looking forward to the release of the Treo 755p next week and potentially working out a good plan with EVDO! :) I have held off upgrading to the 700p for a month now figuring I might as well get the newest.
One thing I am confused on is the Vision / Power Vision plans. I was looking at them and notice I have several more choices that when I first signed up with Sprint a long time ago.
Sprint Power VisionSM Business Pack $25.00
Sprint Power VisionSM TV Pack $20.00
Sprint Power VisionSM Access Pack $15.00
Unlimited Data Plan for Phone as Modem $39.99
I'm guessing Sprint Access is what I have now, which work perfect for me. I don't use picture mail or anything, or need Sprint TV - I have MobiTV already and recently added Slingbox for remote TV viewing.
What's got me is the Unlimited phone as modem plan...will I no longer be able to access the net on my laptop via #777 if I don't order this plan? Does the phone as modem include all the other features of the Sprint Power Business Pack + plus allow you to use phone as modem? Am I going to need the phone as modem plan to use my MobiTV or Slingbox now...or will I be able to get those will the Access Pack? I hate to pay that much more for phone as modem when I only use it as such maybe twice a month. Help please, before I call and ask to speak to retention about re-upping my plan.
