you dont have to have the unlimited plan, just tell them you want the new SERO plan. That includes data and text.

I believe they verify by work e-mail address and/or CorpID. There are legitimate ways to get the discount without having to falsify information. Go with those routes so we don't kill the deal for others.

You will have to change your plan from the SERO plan to the Everything Plus Referral Program

So I guess you have to fax them something.

lostinla said:I have Sero too- they want us to give it up for the everything plans. It was the same way with the Instinct. It will not change any day soon. Its not worth giving up the Sero plan. I will take it to my grave and beyond.

So whats the best phone you can get these days for a Sero plan? Any Sprint people know if the Pre will ever get there?

Sprint is the worst company in the world.

It believe it is called 'everything data share 3000'. The $19.99 for lines 3-5 has been waived and I also get a $10 per month service credit. Taxes add about $20 to the total.

I keep hearing everyone mention SERO, so is that dead now? I know they've renamed it to Everything Plus. If you go to their website you can still see a way to sign up so I don't know how it could be dead if there's still a page to sign up.

SameNickname said:Guptaji - I have five pda phones that eat off one plan. Use about 2000 voice minutes per month plus a b*ttload of data. Monthly bill never exceeds $180 (now that I have the spawn trained to use the web instead of 411 for directory assistance).

denbo32 - yes, that is a sprint number... directly from their web page.

fanwh29 - They might be closed today for the holiday. I would not wait until Monday... per the precentral site (http://www.precentral.net/) telesales for the Pre end Sunday.

1800 FREE-411
1800 GOOG-411

OK. Then the next question is how you found someone to refer you? Or is that an "illegal" question here?

The old SERO plans are dead ($30 for 500 mins; unlimited text and data), and there are now new "SERO" plans which are similar and start at about $60. Some refer to these as EPRP plans (everything plus referral plan?). So, yes you can sign up for the new plan, but it's basically twice as much for the new plan, and people like myself will have their original SERO plan pried from our cold dead hands.

I had a pre for 3 weeks. Power-hogging, need to re-boot piece of junk!! Multi-screens were nice, but it ate massive power and not that big of a deal. I took it back and got a Crackberry Curve. Still has many of the apps the Pre had, but it is proven technology(i.e. it works!). Sprint delayed the Pre for about 8 months to work out the bugs. Too bad that didn't happen. BTW, if you're going to "drink the kool-ade", get the unlimited text and data plan. I have the 1500 min shared for $129.99, or about $162 a month after "fees". Works well with the Crackberry and I can use it for a modem when on business and the hotel tries to shaft you for $9.95 a night wireless. Also, my company gets a discount and they want proof from the company. They will not take your word.
