Sprint has done some interesting things with their available pricing plans for the new XOHM service. The options are much more flexible than anything they have available for phones or EVDO - and more affordable, too.
There are four different plans you can choose from:
- Daily On-The-Go (for ExpressCard or Home Modem): $10 per day - and that is not just an introductory price - gets you 24 hours of XOHM access.
- On-The-Go (for ExpressCard/Mobile Devices): $35 per month for the first 6 months, then $45/month. When you sign up, you are set up with a monthly recurring payment - but you can cancel it at any time. You do, however, pay for a full month at a time - you cannot cancel after 3 days and pay a prorated amount.
- Home (for Home Modem only): $35 per month for the first 6 months, then $45/month. When you sign up, you are set up with a monthly recurring payment - but you can cancel it at any time. You do, however, pay for a full month at a time - you cannot cancel after 3 days and pay a prorated amount.
- Pick 2: $50 per month for service on any TWO XOHM devices. The $50 price is "for life" - but if you discontinue your service plan and then RE-sign up later, the cost will be $60/month. Like the On-the-Go and Home plans, you pay for a full month.
Since none of the plans require contracts, there is NO credit check, NO activation fee, and NO cancellation fee. Also, if you upgrade to a new device, you can easily transfer your service from the old device to the new.
With the monthly plans, you also get a few other features:
- A customizable My XOHM homepage
- One XOHM Mail, Calendar and Chat account powered by Google®
- One XOHM Locker to store up to 5 GB of your stuff
- McAfee® Privacy Service software for up to 1 PC
You do NOT get those features with the daily plan.
