Um...



This has never been a secret with Sprint; in fact, if you look in the user manual for any recent phone it will *say* there are charges. It's in the manual for my Samsung VGA-1000...



The only per-minute charges are for the old 14.4Kbps slow wireless web access. PCS Vision is billed either flat-rate or per kilobyte transferred depending on which Vision package you have.
