Sprint changing ETF and starting Overage charges

Those of you interested in Sprint EVDO data card service may be interested to know that effective 11/02/08 their monthly service returns to an "unlimited" plan, but like verizon's, will incur an overage charge after the first 5GB usage per billing month.

Sprint's overage charge will be considerably less painful than Verizon's, though any overage charge is painful, nonetheless.

After the first 5GB of usage, each Sprint EVDO GIGAbyte will cost "just" $50 (cheap, compared to verizon's $250/GB overage)

In addition to the new overage charges, Sprint's early termination fee (ETF) will change from being a flat $200 over the term of contract, to a "prorated" fee that reflects $10 x each month remaining in contract, with minimum $50 and maximum $200 charge.

5Gb of download is a lot of information. Unless someone is into heavy graphics, the normal person would not download 5GB of data, or am I missing something?

your statement is accurate. the vast majority of users would never hit 5GB.

The highest we have ever hit with both Helen and I on line is just under 3GB.

Alex,

I thought that for previous Verizon users that the 5Gb limit was overturned. Am I wrong?

Thanks,

not sure what you mean by overturned.

if your verizon data service contract was started BEFORE march 2008, you are not subject to overage charges. if the contract started (or you upgraded after) March 2008, then you are subject to overage charges.

does that answer your question?
