A day later, after it was introduced on 5/3/04, the so called
"Fair and Flexible" Plans are not yet showing (as of 600 EDT 5/4/04)
on the SprintPCS web site.
I say "so-called" because there are some aspects that are not
user-friendly
- If you go over your plan by 1 minute it'll now cost you $2.50 rather
than 50 cents.
- You now only have 3 months to change your plan, otherwise
just adding more minutes to your plan triggers a new 2 year agreement
This is not "more flexibility" as the press release falsely states.

======
While the web site does not yet show the "Fair and Flexible" stuff other
good changes are there:
- If you add ReadyLink service by itself, without Vision, it's
now $10/month, rather than $15
- the $5/month for 7 PM Nights and Weekends unlimited no longer
shows as a temporary plan, that you need to sign up for
before some expiration date.
==========
The 18 month rule is now in writing but doesn't mention requiring
a Vision plan for a Vision phone (but then it doesn't mention that the
rebate requires a new 2 year contract):
"Sprint PCS New For YouSM Upgrade Program Existing customers are
eligible for a mail-in rebate of up to $150 towards the purchase of a
new phone, once their old phone has been activated on their account for
18 months. "
