Sprint had unlimited 3G around 2003 called SprintVision. They also offered a service where you could stream 10-15 live cable TV channels. By 2005, this phone (https://www.cnet.com/reviews/samsung-mm-a900-sprint-review/) could play video at around 15-20fps.

These are the services that Sprint offered over 3G on feature phones.

Thank You! I couldn’t remember the name. It came out in 2003.

On my first phone with Sprint Vision, it did 1 FPS.
