Anyone have knowledge of the new data plans? I have Total Connect 1 Meg plan. It seems that that plan is no longer available, but perhaps has been replaced with Nextel Data Access. It also seems that this plan has unlimited data access with the same $10.00 price per month. I will transfer to this plan (If it is not automatic), as I would love to have more KB's available,and not have to "ration" my sends, but I don't want to cancel Total Connect if the new plan is not what it seems, or is not what is needed for Accutracking.
I will call Customer service, but this forum is a far more reliable source of information.
Thanks,
Tom R.

I'd be interested in hearing what you find out. I see that same plan on the Sprint site, but it's not clear to me if the unlimited data access applies to data transmission by a Java app on the phone. It only talks about data transferred from a PC/PDA connected to the phone. Frankly, I'm not sure how they would know the difference, or why they would even care. I tried to talk to their first level phone sales and they were reading the web page to me. I should have known better...
I'll see what I can learn from our Nextel rep.

CHA CHING!!
They got me for $600+ one time. I cried like a baby for a whole month.robbie_tar wrote:Well, I canceled Total Connect, and signed up for Nextel Data Access last week.
Accutracking is still working, so it would seem that it is a "compatable plan".
As for the $10.00 for unlimited data usage part, I will anxiously await the first bill!
