Me neither. If you look here,

They don't even include data on that and it's $80/month? Or am I not seeing something...

Maybe plug in a different zip code and see if it includes data in the table at the bottom on that link.

With a different zip code I got this page:

It does say you can add the data on to the Unlimited My Way plan.
Since you'd have to pay for the device and the second year at maybe $70/month, maybe it would be more cost effective or something to consider Virgin Mobile $45 plan (or the $35 plan if you dont use many minutes) or Straight Talk etc.
I'm thinking of the taxes and fees Sprint tacks on which can be over $10/month in some states. If the others don't add that on or include it all in the stated price maybe that's better.

If I'm not mistaken it's only 1 GB of data.

Thank you. I hope anyone who signs up for the plan is careful to read all the details.

In regards to the second year, you're not obligated to stay a second year. So in terms of it being cost effective, I think of it as just 1 year at $10 per month (that is what it costs to upgrade to unlimited data from the free plan that only gives you 1 GB) and then you can choose to stay or leave. With that in mind, the taxes you will be paying will be based on just $10 a month so I imagine they will be fairly small. In addition you have to pay a $30+ activation fee and whatever other monthly fees sprint tacks on to a bill. Finally, you have to buy a device at the "student price" and I will be getting the Nexus 5 at $450.00, plus taxes on that purchase.
So if I have it correct: $450.00 for the device, taxes on that purchase (my state should be around $31), $120 for 12 months unlimited data service, around $30 activation fee, small amount of monthly service taxes (my guess is $40), and whatever the service charges are. The last number I have no idea, so I'll say $50 for the year. A fairly liberal guess of Total = $721. If anything I'm guessing it's lower.
So, I definitely could have done my math wrong and/or forgot something in my calculation, BUT if I'm right, that is a pretty good deal for a year of cell service with unlimited data and the ability to walk away to do as you please with a Nexus 5.
Wow, OK. I didn't know there's no obligation to stay a 2nd year. That's a lot better then! But make sure you get it in writing when you sign up. :beer:

Hmmm... $721 for a Nexus 5 that I won't use after one year?? Not sure I like this deal.

That nexus can be used on any network other than Verizon's.

Where did $721 come from? The Nexus 5 is $350 (16gb) or $400 (32gb). :what:

You have have to buy the phone through Sprint in order to be illegible for the deal this thread is about.
