Using Sprint Phone as a Modem for another computer

Most of the other carriers offer "data capable" phones. Spoke to Sprint. Say they only offer the "phone as web browser package" (not what we care about) but that with the proper USB cable and the package, you can use their service to use the phone as a modem. She did say "technically you're not supposed to." (What's that supposed to mean?)Has anyone used Sprint service to use their cell phone as a modem?

Thanks

Paper Contracts

I finally got paper contracts for Sprint today! I guess Sprint got tired of lack of records when FAST went down.

Plan difference?

Does anyone know why in different states there are different plans? For example I go to school in PA, and the plans there are 10.00 a month for only 100 roaming mins. Where in NJ and online you pay 5.00 a month to be able to use half of your mins for roaming. Then, another plan had roaming included in the plan for unlimited. Can anyone one explain?

Sprint Plans - Do they use the Verizon network?

Here's my dilemma... at work (a hospital) the Sprint coverage is great, and Verizon is marginal. Outside of the hospital, I am overall more impressed with Verizon's coverage (Portland, Oregon).

Verizon uses the Sprint network when VZW towers are unavailable, at no additional cost. Does Sprint do the same thing?

Thanks,

How to add-a-line

Hello, I'm a sprint customer who is a Cingular Cust Care rep...^^ Okay, really, I'm just wondering how would I go about adding a line with Sprint. Can I do it on the website? Cust Care? or do I have to go to the store? Going to a store is something I really DONT want to do, because the stores in my areas (yes Sprint Express aswell) are always packed! I'm just wondering....

Thanks!

Sprint and Coverage

A few days ago i was speaking with a Sprint Rep. at one of the stores around my area and i was talking about switching to sprint from my current verizon account that i have. I told the gentleman that i was looking at nextel to switch to as well and he told me that right now they are in the process of "redoing" their towers to meet sprints requirements and then anything that is nextel now will be sprint in about 6-9 months the earliest? Has anyone got news about this...Thanks...

Customer Service

This is absolutely ridiculous, I remember there was a day and time. Where SprintPcs had the worst customer service ever, and they said they would get better, which I have seen.

But now, they don't get smart with customers anymore but they are all dumb and don't know what they are doing.

OH AND DON'T SPEAK UNDERSTANDING ENGLISH (GOOD ENGLISH).

Recently, I bought a Sanyo 5600 like April 16th, and when I bought it, I requested the Multimedia Package, which is $30. It includes Unlimited Vision, Unlimited Ready Link, Unlimited Pictures/Videos, and 100 text Messages.

They told me if I wanted Unlimited Text Message, I would have to pay $5 dollars, I said cool add it.

On the 18th I was unable to to access my Sprint E-mail. I called ...

Ringtones

I want to know if something's changed in the year since I had SprintPCS. I have a friend who said his brother who has Sprint told him that he can only keep his ringtones for 3 mo, at which point, it is then DELETED FROM THE PHONE. Now, from what I remember of Sprint, is that it is stored in the Vision Vault (or something like that) for 90 days, and then removed from the vault ONLY. As long as it's downloaded to the handset, you can keep it until you delete it. Is this still the case, or has it changed? 😕

EV-DO pda phone ?

I know that EVDO isn't out yet for Sprint. I know that is will be out one of these days. I was wondering if anyone knows about any EVDO pda phones that may come out for Sprint. I'm looking for a Pocket PC phone like the Audiovox 6600, but that uses EVDO. Thanks for any info.
