The Fine Print
Always, always, always check the fine print before you sign a cell phone service contract. Wireless companies are famous for trying to tie users into long contracts with hidden charges and additional fees. The Sprint-Nextel website offers the following terms and conditions for its plans:
- Online plan purchases require a 2-year contract.
- Taxes and "Sprint Fees" are not included in the listed prices.
- Night and weekend hours are from 7 p.m. - 7 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and Friday 7 p.m. - 7 a.m. Monday morning.
