Sprint has just lowered their Phone-As-Modem pricing from $50 a month all the way down to $15 a month. Sounds like you are going to see some huge savings, right? Well not so fast, because as you would expect with anything that sounds a little good to be true, there are some conditions that will apply.

To begin with you need to have a Power Vision phone with connection capabilities, which is going to limit your phone choices a bit, but that is not it. In addition to the phone, you also need to be subscribed to another Sprint data plan, such as the Pro Pack that is going for $30 a month. Now instead of the huge savings that you were thinking, you are saving just $5 a month.

Overall its still not a bad deal compared to some of the other carrier plans available, but the whole lowering the price from $50 to $15 seems a little confusing and misleading. The last catch is the same as the regular data plans, which means that the Phone-As-Modem plans are also capped at 5GB of data transfer per month.
