I’ve worked for almost every major wireless carrier in the past 10 years. The reason carriers are ‘forcing’ customers who activate a PDA with a data plan is because customers are stupid. They say they don’t use data, email, internet, picture messaging (some carriers), GPS services, Google Maps, etc (All which use the internet to send the information), then when they get their $600 phone bill, they call up and complain. They don’t bother to block the services either. I thought they just wanted to use it as a PDA? Apparently they didn’t. So instead of dealing with whether or not to issue a credit, it is now mandatory for those types of phones which are heavy, data-intensive units. There is no point in buying, let’s say, a Hero and not having a data package. You may as well just buy a regular phone. Some of them sync and they all have Calendars and Notepads in them. By the way, Sprint now offers the cheapest plans out there so what’s the complaint?

The biggest blunder by Sprint is following in Apple/AT&T footsteps with their bundled plans.

So whether you use it or not the cheapest calling plan is $70. They should have just made it so you could pick your calling plan of choice/need and add a data plan to it.

Also, the no tethering is a HUGE mistake.

What sprint needs is the ability to differentiate themselves. Instead they are sheep following the Apple/AT&T herd.

When will someone put the customers needs first and let that drive their profits????
