We want SMS on Sprint
Sign Now
Almost every cell phone carrier in the world today allows its send and receive SMS text messages. These messages are composed on the phone and sent to another cell phone users phone number.
Sprint does not let its customers use standard SMS text messaging. They force us to log into their Wireless Web to compose the message and send it. Logging into the wireless web on Sprint uses up minutes on customers plans, as opposed to other carriers where no plan minutes are used. This can be especially bad for us, since composing and sending a message could take several minutes. In order to receive messages also customers are forced to log in, which again takes up minutes.
All this is if we the customer has paid an extra $5 for the wireless web. If not we are charged 35c per minute. This would make writing and then reading a message cost at the very least 70c and most likey much more. With the most expensive of other carrier's in the US market, it will cost only 20c to send and receive a reply to a message.
Sprints networks are technically capable of supporting standard mobile originated SMS as evidenced by Virgin Mobiles use of SMS on Sprints network. We the customers want normal SMS like everyone else does and dont want to be forced to use our plan minutes to write and receive messages.

Please give us real text messaging before I "sprint" to another carrier. And if you dont I will continue to make bad jokes about your company name. You have been warned.

At least come up with a java applet to put on our vision phones... I hate it when I get a SMS and can't check it because "SHort Mail is down for maintanence" while my friends on VZW and Tmobile are busy lokking at their MOSMS messages...
