isPermaLink="false">http://www.geardiary.com/?p=44621#comment-48471</guid> <description>Ok, I&#039;m missing something here. When I was living in the UK (only moved to the US back December 2008), all, &amp; I say it again, ALL networks included tethering into the data price plan, or to put it another way it was free! So why can&#039;t US carriers do that? MMS was a statutory item for all networks from day one including pre-pay customers, so why can&#039;t it be done over here?
I love it here in the US &amp; I would love to get hold of a good quality phone with a good data rate &amp; add-ons, but the pricing &amp; inclusion of items is their downfall (for me).
I was considered a heavy user in the UK (my bill 2 years ago was averaging the equivalent of $1000 per month, but even what is on offer by the operators over here, the prices are way out of my reach for regular use compared to what I was used to in the UK.
The US cell phone operators are really getting up my nose &amp; that is very politely put! They really need to rethink their business strategies in order to secure future customers. Remember, even a large international company like Vodafone have to keep up with the times &amp; the customers needs.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I&#8217;m missing something here.

You&#039;ll also get faster 3g, better coverage, and about $30 to $50 less per month in fees and a device that can multitask.  Then keep the ol&#039; iphone for the other apps or get an ipod touch.  Unlike AT&amp;T you can easily teather on the pre, including via wifi so any nearby device can share that fast sprint connection.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One way to show them how you feel as they don&#8217;t seem to listen to complains.
