this article is horribly misinformed. sprint started 1/2 price add-ons for secondary lines back around 2002 or so, maybe earlier, and ran that promo for years. furthermore, their current talk/message/data plans are all inclusive for families at a much cheaper rate than traditional addons. verizon also currently offers family plans with included data and messaging at reduced rates.

Verizon doesn't offer that for smartphones and i'd like to see proof that sprint offered anything like that before

verizons premium plans dont include smartphones? damn, theyre such a ripoff as it is that i just assumed smartphone data was included. amazingly enough i dont have historical sprint brochures, but for several years (ending around 2006) all addons (including vision) were half price on any secondary lines. sprint has never differentiated data by phone type, so any (power) vision plan would work on any (power) vision phone. im sure if you google it you can find info on the 1/2 price addons sprint used to have, and their current plans have included data (including smartphones) since early this year

as far as i know all the major carriers differentiate by class of device, dodo. business phones that need CORPERATE access are ALWAYS charged at a higher rate. And unless you are running a 2g bb on tmobile, you are also in "manditory" data area.
