Lmao. That Depends on how much you use the internet. i'm sure using pay per kb you can easily go past a dollar a day. especially someone who likes to be well connected like me
And how is that exactly better? getting charged more is better?

okay- again, if i use the internet 4 days out of a month, i would pay 4 dollars for internet (1$/day) with verizon
with sprint- id have to pay 0.03 cents per kb . now imagine using the internet for 4 days straight with sprint . thats ALOTTTT more than 4 dollars
and a plan starts at 15$ . thats ridiculous. so if i had a plan id pay 15 bucks but for verizon id pay 4 bucks for 4 days
obviously, verizons is cheaper in this COMMON case.

Me thinks your logic is flawed.but not entirely.
Yes, if you used verizon's internet only sparingly, then yes, $1 a day would make sense.
I think the point that iowa is trying to get across is that if someone uses the internet constantly on their phone, then a plan would make more sense, as opposed to paying $1 per day.
Look at it this way:
If I have verizon's $1 internet plan and use it more than 15 times, then right there, I've already charged my account more than the $15 that it would cost to have the plan.in the end it would be more economical for me to have a plan, because then I'm not charging my account $1 per day for a potential of 30 days.
I do understand what you're saying man1234 about the internet plans and everything, I just think that maybe you're taking it a bit too personal. I mean, we all have different phone needs and that's what the point of the different plans are.
For you, $1 a day makes sense.however for someone like iowa who likes to keep up to day and connected, it makes more sense to have a plan.
Plus Sprint's data plans start at 10. you just have to dig a little to get it. And even 15 is cheap. look at the competitors rates. their data plans start up wards of 20 per month.

Actually, I think AT&T's is still $15 a month, unless you have a PDA/Smartphone/Blackberry or an iPhone. As for the other companies, I'm not sure off the top of my head.

well the bottom line is . phone upgrading wise, sprint's policy is absolutely horrible compared to other companies
It Is the same thing dude. sprint's phone's are just better than other companies, but if you compare the exact same phones, you'll find the pricing is similiar or the same. verizon has no top end phones while sprint is sporting a full line up. i'm sorry you don't want or can't afford a good phone but oh well

verizon actually does have many high end phones. as does every other company . that statement u made is more of an opinion. there are actually many people satisfied with their cellphones from other companys, and many dissatisfied with thier phones from sprint . so as for the "top end" phones. it is not just based on features, but on performance as well.
also . again . if a sprint phone is 300.00 retail and 100.00 discounted and a vrzn is 300.00 retail and 100.00 discounted . after 2 yrs vrzn takes off 100.00 off the discounted price and sprint takes 150.00 off the RETAIL price . so the phone youd get free from being w/ vrzn after 2 yrs. yud be paying 150.00 for with sprint . please do not sit here and tell me sprint has the better deal here
