Sprint has raised the cost of their "Vision" plan to $55.00. The website says $50.00, but the guys in the Sprint store told me that it went up to $55.00.

That gives me

300 "anytime minutes"
1000 nighttime and weekend minutes
Unlimited instant messaging AOL and Yahoo
Unlimited web access
Unlimited pictures

Verizon plan
$39.99
400 domestic minutes from anywhere to anywhere with no roaming or long distance charges

It appears that all the bells and whistles relating to web access and pictures are a la carte items and you pay for only the ones you want to use. Picture mail is $2.99 a month and mobile web is $4.99 and month.

With Sprint it looks as if they just charge you for the whole damn thing up front and get it over with.

I've got to find my Verizon propaganda to check out the other costs. Who knows, it may not cost much less in the long run. I am happy with Sprint's reception, etc., and they are first with the newest and niftiest gadgets.
