The regional plan has cheaper contract price and only offers limited data use for the $30/m charge. the nationwide plan has the same circle plans but has unlimited data use thru any Alltel, Sprint, and Verision towers anywhere anytime thru the phone or teather to a computer.
Alltel also allowed me to add a HTC Touch to my HTC 6800 nationwide plan for an additional $30.00 a month. The second phone shares the My Circle plans minutes but shares unlimited data with no restrictions for both phones anywhere anytime.
I have wifirouter but usally just teather to my laptop with htc's usb cable and the internet sharing program on the phone with no let down on speed, I normaly get 630-1240 kbs with this method.
not bad not bad....sprint speed is like 3200kb and higher at times for me...
