Sprint's network takes care of getting the messages to your phone. PCS Vision provides "always on" service, meaning your phone periodically checks for new messages and notifies you when they've arrived (beware: your battery will run down quickly if the phone is configured to check for messages often).
PCS Vision plans start at $50 per month, which includes 4,000 phone minutes and 2 MB of data. Laptop plans start at $40 per month, which includes 20 MB of data.
If you plan to use a PDA/phone, Sprint recommends purchasing a plan that includes 8 MB of data per month and 6,500 voice minutes for $85 per month. Sprint charges extra for data transfers in excess of your contracted amount.
