And I have an unlimited air card with them for $59 or $69. I'm not looking at my bill. That air card has great service- I had one with Nextel and that one was like you said, henboy, slower than dial up! I swear, I'd go home to my dial up connection and feel pampered! Of course, now I have high speed internet at my house, so that makes the Sprint card seem slooooow- but it's not all that much slower depending on my signal strength. I think the air card roams, too. It's weird.

I like they online payment options, too. We have two cell phones on the unlimited plan and one air card and they tell you how to best split the bill- which is nice since I pay for one phone and the air card for business and the other phone for a separate business (not trucking) expense.

I've been happy with their customer service, too. I always go to a Sprint owned store- not a Sprint agent but a store that is actually owned by Sprint. Their sales reps tend to be more knowledgeable and helpful- even though you do usually have to wait around for a long time if you get there when they're busy.

I have finally decided to stay where I am.I went through all three major providers and compared my rates/minutes to other service prividers and I am better off.
I am paying $59/month for 1500 anytime minutes and I get free nights and weekends which starts at 9pm.For $59 all the providers will give you 950 minutes.As far as the aircard, I am also paying $49 for unlimited aircard usage.If I change providers they all will not accept my T-mobile razor phone from T mobile even if it is unlocked.I will then have to invest at least $200(since I will only do a yr contract and not 2)in a phone and another $150 in an aircard.


I have decided to stick with the same plan but change the razor phone with only a 1 yr contract.During my research I realised the Motorolla razor do have problems with their GSM software.I have been told to go with Samsung.I will get rid of the Sony Ericson aircard and pay about $20 more to be able to use a USB cable from my Samsung phone to the USB port of the laptop to get on the internet.I could also get a phone (one phone #/one account) where I can take out the SIMM CARD from the phone and use it on my GC89 aircard.The phone will not be active at this time.While on the net at that time, I will use www.skype.com to dial out all my calls.$5 on that account will give me enough minutes that I can use to call out to agents from the loadboard.This feature from T.mobile is about $80-$90/month.

I also use www.skype.com to call to foreign countries, it is cheaper than buying a calling card.A headset/mic on your laptop and a skype account and you're done.

Hey Henboy,

I really liked my Tmobile phone, I found their customer service to be better than anyone else. The only reason I changed, I wanted the rollover.

Like the others, I pay for my phone, and I pay $59 + taxes for an aircard. Working for Landstar, pay the money for the best service, don't go cheap on this one. Seriously, if anyone needs convenient internet service, you do. I've paid about $3000 on repairs for my truck over the last month. That's no problem, I don't have a truck payment and haven't been paying much for repairs. When it has to be done, it's the cost of doing business. Particularly with Landstar, fast, convenient internet service is a relatively low cost of doing business. You surf the internet doing God knows what and you write it off your taxes. My opinion.

We've had bad luck with every Samsung phone we've had- and I know a lot of other folks who have Samsung issues. We've had the Razor for a couple months now and love it- my husband texts all the time now.

I have AT&T air card and cell phones! I have never had any problems!

Sprint does not offer an unlimited internet data plan anymore. Check out their website, it's 5gb per month like Verizon. If you are a current customer and don't go over the cap, your plan will still say unlimited until you go over it, then you'll get a letter of the change.
