Sprint SERO Plan NOW for EVERYONE!!!

When you complete your order, it will use the zip code you inputted at the beginning as your billing and shipping zip code - it won't let you change this zip code once you begin the ordering process. Therefore, if you inpt a zip code that isn't your own, I would bet your phone will never make it to your house!

when I input my zip code, it comes out with $59.99/month. replace my zip code with one in CA, it turns into $30/month. Can just use the zip code in CA?

It says on a phone 299.99 or higher (Kellogg rebate). The receipt will say 288.00. The rebate doesnt say "phone valued at 299.99 or higher" -- good luck arguing that one.

Sprint and Verizon share their networks, so it may be tough to know who is actually dropping you.

I've had both and the service was the same except Verizon costs far more, especially when it comes to data services.

You may have recently noticed that Verizon no longer advertises they have the largest network and thats because Sprint does.

Sprint EVDO network (which I use a lot and get around 1Mb on average via my PPC-6700 cel phone) is available to more people/cities than Verizons. Sprint uses seperate voice and data trunks to their towers where Verizon shares both on the same trunk. Huge portions of Verizons towers are to unable ever offer EVDO without being replaced/upgraded, most if not all Sprint towers are capable of offering EVDO.

Could this be true?

that is a good point with the extra charges. I have a PPC6700 from the sero plan already..but have been supporting some customers with BBs and found they are pretty friendly to use.

I wonder what is so different about the BB unlimited data pack verus power vision.

question for those with sero plans currently; is there anyway to add a text messaging option?

It doesn't say but isn't the 700wx touch screen?

Craig said: I had several lines on Sero for a few weeks at my offices in MD and HI, and like you, the service/coverage was awful. I wouldn't use it if it was free. I pay more for my Cingular and Verizon lines but at least they work 99% of the time

ColoradoGiant said: I am on the Sero Plan... I am counting the days until my contract expires.

Even with these awesome awesome plans, its not worth it if you can't use it. I was disconnected on an emergency call with 4 bars of service for crying out loud! Been through 2 phones... its not the phone - its the network (at least in northern colorado)

I've formally owned Cingular and Tmobile - I'd give both of them about an 8.5/10. Sprint gets a 4/10. 20% of my calls drop - unacceptable.

I know this is only one mans opinion and it was not my intention to thread crap... your mileage may vary (especially in other parts of the country), etc, etc, etc - but I felt I needed to throw it out there - just do some research on howardforums, cellreception.com and other websites that discuss cellular coverage by area before signing up for any carrier - I wish I did. 2 years is a long time if your unhappy

Good Luck!

Agreed...Sprint is the worst plan I ever had. I'm in MD

Verizon actually in the past couple of years has STOPPED using Sprints network in certain areas, hence what I think is a decline in the coverage which Verizon now offers. (SF Bay Area)

Any body know if existing customers can switch to SERO plans... I have 2 lins family plan now with
550 mins for $59+ taxes - 15% discount

Can I get a better family plan with SERO?

Sprint is quite bad with CS. I couldn't wait to change the network when my contract expired. Beware! Sprint cheats on the # of years of contract.

same here...my bill for 1 plus 2 family lines come to $55 including tax for 500 anytime mins, 500 text messages each month..

I'm pretty sure SERO only offers single line plans, but I think in a few of these SERO threads some random people described their multiline plans (most were pretty good). I would read through the sero thread in HD (the one in DD for the 6700 is too long, though )

I signed up on the Sero plan l year ago and I love it. What I don't love is the collections letter I got last week demanding $250! Apparently, InPhonic sent me to collections for not using the phone I ordered off the Sero website for the required 180 days! I am still using that same phone and it was never deactivated the entire 360 days!! Has this happened to anyone else?

I contacted the office of the President at InPhonic, what a joke that was...nothing but emails asking me for information which I gave to them...where did that lead? NOWHERE!

"Thank your for your reply. For your records your order number is xxxxxxx. Please contact SKO Brenner at 1-800-557-2115 regarding your claim. If you would like to dispute your charge you may contact them in writing at the address provided on the letter you received. Please reference account number 4xxxxx."

Thank you,
LWashington
Office of the President

I had already called the low life SKO collections before and told them as much but I guess this person is nothing but a drone!

Looks like its a good deal, however, I'm like many of you, sick of Sprint. My bill has been wrong every single month. Something different every single time. Last month I was charged for roaming and I'm on a national plan. I'm starting to think they just randomly charge you to see of they get lucky and you just pay it. Many people never look over their bill. Anyway, they will extend your contract 2 years if you switch. No thanks!! I'm going to Sprint away!!!

Amen to that!!!!It's not a one man opinion,our whole office of 30 people nod heads to your statement,unfortunately we are on a corporate plan with sprint and cannot switch
Well then, I guess there is only 1 thing left to do...


Find a new career.

Change your settings to "Roaming ONLY". The bars will be constant then...

You can sign up using a Nevada billing address and electronic invoice to save on tax.

The forums at sprintusers.com have a lot of good info on Sprint tips/tricks to get the most for your money at Sprint.

Yes, if you install some software (pdanet).

That's now a $40 additional charge.

Where are you getting a $40.00 additional charge? I have a 700wx with vision without a $40 charge and connecting via the Sprint mobile laptop software (you get this via a download, the instructions are on the CD with the 700wx).. Basically, if you have the vision plan you have the cell modem access. The Vision plan comes with the SERO for free. You are all set..
