Justin,
I think that you got a local sell job. I bougfht my daughter a Sprint PCS
phone last week at RS and there was no sales pitch for Internet. FWIW, the
only cell phones I've found that came as part of the package were lower end
analog phones. All of the recent phones that we've added/upgraded were NOT
under a one year ownership plan. We have plans with many major cell
providers (Cellular One, GTE, Air Touch, PacBel and now SPrint).
