Yes you can get a "Handset as modem" option added to a voice plan.The cost is the same as the data card plan prices.

$40-20 MB
$50-50 MB
$80-300 MB

If you're going to pay the same price, why not go for the card and have the option of getting calls while simultaneously using data services?

Sprint has created a nice rhetorical question there haven't they?

That would be a no then.

Maybe the EVDO cards would allow voice and data simultaneously. . . anyone know?

When I wrote post number 5 my point was that you would have two devices, with 2 numbers, and you could use the card for data and the handset for voice.

I suspect not -- that is the next generation, I think.

Thank you for clarifying that. :clap:

That would be expensive, but it wouldn't mess with your Vision plan...
