Sprint bundles TeleNav with data

by Chris Ziegler posted Mar 24th 2007 at 10:13AM

For some data subscribers, Sprint's TeleNav-sourced navigation service just got a little more accessible. The Power Vision "Ultimate Pack" and "Business Pack" bundled data packages now include unlimited nav use -- great for folks prone to getting hopelessly lost on a regular basis -- instead of paying for it a la carte. An entirely new package, Power Vision "Navigation Pack," also includes unlimited use plus the usual suspects (unlimited on-device data, mobile email, and so on, but don't even think about tethering) for $20 / month. Not worried about losing your bearings daily? Subscribers to any other Sprint data pack can now get their nav on for $2.99 per 24-hour period, too.

I called Sprint and stayed on the line for 20 minutes waiting for the rep to figure this out. Eventually she transferred me to a TeleNav specialist who offered me the service for $9.99 per month and said that the news release is a "misprint" and he has been dealing with people like me all day.
Anyone have better experiences with getting a bundle?

This is not a misprint, I think you just jumped the gun a little. Notice that it says "soon":

Sprint (NYSE: S) customers soon will have the power of a new robust GPS-enabled navigation service included at no additional charge in select Sprint data packs.
