We want SMS on Sprint
Sign Now
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.
