? about PowerVision and SMS

[Malatesta]

So finally, under "My current Plan" (via sprintpcs) it says:

Unknown Item: $15.00

Which of course is PowerVision (ever get the feeling that they're winging it here? lol )

I also noticed under Current Usage a listing for CASUAL SMS TEXT MESSAGING.

So far I've had only 5 but noticed that it also states 0 as being included (in my plan).

So did anyone actually get SMS messaging included in their $15 PVision plan or is going to be $5 extra for everyone?

I'm not a big SMS user but on the 6700 I just might become one since it's so easy...not sure if I want to fork over $5 a month for 100 though...On the other hand, not sure about paying $0.10 a message either...

I just got a Sanyo 9000 and i got the the $20 Power Vision plan and they gave me 500 text message for $4 a month, the rep said Power Vision doesnt have any text messaging or download credits on them.

powervision doesn't come with txt and you would have to pay $15 for unlmtd txt

[Malatesta]

Gotcha.

It's what I figured but just wanted to make sure...sheesh, they coulda thrown in a 50 freebies or something!

The pricing is as follows:

$.10 ea message (no plan)

$5 for 100
$8 for 500
$15 for unlimited

I know it suck, but I guess when they give you in one area then they have to take away in another

I think its a matter of popularity really. The things that people are doing the most, the carrier charges the most for. I mean texting has become popular so now it's gonna cost $15 for unltd. That is ridiculous really...exorbitant...outrageous...need I go on?

I actually didn't have $5 unlmtd txt till about 2 weeks ago...I called in and the CS rep didn't want to give me the $5 txt...So what I did was tell her to take off the $10 vision and she said that with a new promotion she could give me $5 txt if I kept my vision...so there you go, you just need to get that person that will do it for you.....Not everyone is that lucky!! :clap:
