ok so i checked my plan and i saw that I had power vision...ok and i clicked it and it said
"Get unlimited Web and Data access, up to 10 Sprint Music radio channels, Sprint TV channels including NFL Network, CNN, E! and Fox Sports. You also get Picture Mail, On Demand, access to Sprint Navigation, NFL Mobile & more."
does this mean i get free web access from my phone? Free on demand?
Also tell me what i do get free if i misunderstood this...thanks so much everyone :wavey:

Yes assuming you sign up for one of the Powervision packs - e.g., data pack, ultimate pack, etc.
Free on demand?
"On demand" as in Sprint has its own little program that runs on the phone that will update on its own (if you enable it to do so automatically) or when you manually tell it to, that will give you updated (generally text-based) stories in the news, your local weather (once you configure it), sports, business, and entertainment. It's not like a cable company's "on demand" service where you can actually view programming when you want.
Also tell me what i do get free if i misunderstood this...thanks so much everyone :wavey:
I think what it says is what you get. There is a site that lists what channels are included. Any additional channels are extra per month. Check out the various packs here:

Unlimited web browsing/data access should be included with no extra charge. The only charge would be if you decide to use Sprint Navigation (including turn-by-turn directions) and that would be $2.99 per day. Also if you want to subscribe to any premium TV or radio programs, each of those have a monthly charge over and above your basic free channels.
Or if you want to download ringtones, games, etc. The charges aren't hidden, though. It will let you know before you download something if there's a charge involved.

so basicly what you and bin are saying is for the long car trip i have comming up i can use m.youtube.com =D AWESOME! i hope im not driving :hee: Thanks so much guys! im gonna try online near the end of the month just to make sure im not charged extra =P i trust you guys and all but just to be safe =P
Edit: i was trying m.youtube.com on my computer and i saw
"Information:
YouTube Mobile is a data intensive application. We highly recommend that you upgrade to an unlimited data plan with your mobile service provider to avoid additional charges."
Does that mean that my unlimited online does not cover that and i need an unlimited data plan too?
And now i am thinking about that does that mean i get charged when the pages load :1zhelp:
I am sorry if i am asking the same questions. I just need to know so i dont run up a 1,000 dollar bill. If i need an unlimited data service with the online please tell me...i dont wana have to pay to load a page up or a video up...thanks everyone! sorry if im asking the same question :1zhelp:

You have the access pack and that will cover any web browsing or any data you use. So you can watch mobile youtube and you will be fine.

Nino is correct. I just now browsed to that site on my Comcast broadband-connected PC (6 Mb/s down/768 Kb/s up) and that message is on what appears to be a text-based default landing page designed to warn those phone/PDA users who don't already have some type of plan with cheap or unlimited data access, that they may want to reconsider before continuing on to the main site. You should be fine. :)

From what I have gathered, Power Vision is basically the upgrade to Vision. Glad you are on your way!! :clap:
