I'm a new vision owner, using my 2 free months to see if I want to keep it.
I also assume the words "expires in 90 days" to mean that whatever you
download will cease working in 90 days(expires). I have not seen anything on
the site or phone to say you must download the song to your phone in 90
days, but it will work forever (or until something hapens to it). This is
what the tems say in my content manager folder:
Price: $1.50
License Type: Regular
License for: 90 days
This is a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use this content
for the duration above, subject to the restrictions set forth above and in
the terms applicable to all Premium Services. You agree not to sell,

reproduce, modify or revise the content. If your Premium Services expire,
are suspended or cancelled under the applicable terms of use, you will not
receive any refund for the remaining unused portion of your invoice period.

I interpert the words like "limited" and "use this content for the duration
above" to mean just that, this ringer/game/etc will no longer work after the
term above (90 days). I'm not complaining that if it will work beyond that
time, just wish there was a clear answer somewhere on Sprint's site. This
will answer my question on keeping vision. The only thing I would use it for
is to transfer ringers to the phone, maybe pictures, but doubtful, and
possibly to get pictures off the phone, but again doubtful as I have a
didgital camera to take pictures with. I'd only use the phone cam for
convience. But if you have to pay $15/mo for vision, plus $X.xx for whatever
you want, it's not for me.
Also the 2 free months, are these unlimited? I can't find an answer to that
either, definatly don't want to get hit with a $500 phone bill, and the web
account access is unavaliable because my plan changed durng the billing
cycle.
