After:

$39.99 plan is gone.
Unless this is a typo, we're looking at $30,000 per gigabyte overage charges.
I don't see how it can be read or interpreted any other way.

not my words, but another Sprint customer

http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1838571#post1838571

I called Sprint back and spoke with AS. Uncross those fingers bc AS said these new changes will take place 7-17-08 and that it affects the current customers as well as new. They said to look on the 2nd page of ur bill and u will see the "changes" notice. the rep that I spoke with said that letters,emails and text messages were sent out to the ppl that were already exceeding the 5GB while on the Unlimited Data,PAM and Unlimited Powervision Plan w/PAM first and that the other customers should all be notified well b4 the 17th of next month.

She said that the 3cents a kilobyte WITH the plan is a typo, but does apply for overages AFTER exceeding the 5GB cap and overages are capped at $75 . Once the change takes place a text msg will be sent when u r nearing the cap and that ppl grossly exceeding will be terminated.
PAM will be discontinued. they want Internet users to use the Broadband Cards (59.99) and the new plans are to make it simpler for the customers by not having too many plan choices or feature exclusions and the Ultimate goal is for the Everything Plans to take over bc they will cut out the textandtalk overages and save CompanyandClient money and stress.

PAM is Granfathered in as well as my free incoming plan as long as no changes r made to my plan by me. (time will tell) Can hardly wait to see what happens come contract end
She checked my PAM and Broadband usage for the past few months and told me I never came close to exceeding the 5GB and that I shouldn't worry. I stopped using the card about 2 months ago but I did use it a lot and my highest usage was 4 GB. My highest PAM usage was 2 GB and I use it a lot as well... Its now my primary connection since the card.

5,242,880 kilobytes she said is the number to stay below (i'm at 1.5 million right now with 3 days left in my BillingCycle) I use PAM everyday for hours at a time so I guess the 5GB cap won't be so bad for ppl like me. I dont download movies or music and definitely wont now with the cap.

How much of this is true??? As I said earlier, Time Will Tell
just doing my SU duty

As of yesterday, the Terms & Conditions do specify the 5 GB limit. However, Sprint only lists cancellation or data slowdown as remedies. In spite of what a customer service reps say, Sprint will not be able to apply excess usage charges to formerly unlimited data plans without notifying each of us in accordance with the Providing Notice provisions of the Terms & Conditions. See this thread for details.
