Will this work with SERO?

Probably ymmv, I was able to put my corporate discount on sero but many coworkers were not, depends on the rep you get I guess.

oops double post.

Yes, Sprint is the lowest-cost reliable provider.

But, that's more Sprint bashing from the Verizon fanboys who enjoy paying the highest amount in additional made up fees and taxes on top of their base rates...

Thanks OP. Will give this a go.

Can't speak to the PTA thing, but my Corporate discount certainly does work with all 3 SERO plans that I have.

You do know that Sprint has the lowest cost plans of the big 3 right? So this will make a good deal even better.

Ridiculously high? Compared to who? Does that include those who took advantage of SERO too?

In as much as I like to save as much as the next person, at some point one should be willing to pay a fair price for goods and services. This board has members who own their own businesses. I wonder how many of them would want others here to similarly exploit their businesses. Or would those who work for companies be so willing to provide to this board the means to exploit the goods and services of their companies such that their companies ongoing viability become jeopardized?

18 months ago, Sprint's stock was trading about $22. It now hovers around $2. In part because of customer defections, but also in part due to reduced revenues, and of course, when you look at the Touch Pro exchange that has been ongoing in another thread, it's easy to see how the company is losing income.

It's one thing to qualify for an offered discount, but another to suggest joining an organization for that discount only to cancel the membership after obtaining the discount.

If you really think you are overpaying for Sprint service, by all means accelerate the demise of the company. With Sprint out of business, then complaints can be voiced about the ridiculously high prices that AT&T, Verizon and TMobile charge.

Corporate Discounts: According to Sprint ONLY decrease when the company who has contracted with Sprint modifies their agreement or decreases the amount of subscriptions they have with corporate liable contracts, therefore this affects individual liable contracts.

SERO does not qualify for any discounts because it is already heavily discounted

I have SERO and have tried to have it applied with no avail, although if you do get a CLUELESS CS, it might happen, slim chance

Regardless of ALL the complaints i have read about and heard in person, i like sprint and wouldnt go anywhere else and ive tried ATT, which claims to have good service, but SUCKS, i cant even get service half the time or if i do it goes to static, and VERIZON, which is similiar to Sprint, is always roaming on Sprint, so why pay more for less, then T-Mobile, which is just ATT with less service capacity, and dont think i defending Sprint, because i had their crappy Nextel service too, its basically ATT with a radio.

The above statements are all my personal opinion and in no way represents anyone elses opinion, so take it as a freedom of speech

I believe if you're unfortunate enough to be a member of Kaiser, ie, if you have kaiser insurance, you qualify as well, no need to join the PTA. it says if you're a member of...Kaiser is listed. I ran away from Kaiser a year ago, probably the best decision I've made for my health.

And, one more thing, do they even verify your membership of the the organization you say you belong to? looks like click and go

I have 3 SERO accounts with them with corporate discounts. The total bill comes to about $75 a month with those ridiculous government fees. Although I would love to have an iPhone, I don't think I will ever switch to ATT when one iPhone plan costs the same amount as 3 SERO.

I am in the same boat as you. for $30 with taxes and tep (with corp discount on SERO). the same plan would be 2.5-3x more each on month ATT. I'll stick with sprint.

I don't understand, how do existing customers get 25% off their service plan. Can someone provide a step by step?

Also, what information does sprint need to confirm you're a Alliant CU member?

Thanks.

I am a member of the national IEEE CU here in AZ and Sprint just dropped our discount this month from 35% to 6%! I also heard from other family members over the holidays who get a Sprint discount through their employers that Sprint had notified them that Sprint was dropping their discount to single digits as well.

sorry but i think that is a load of crap!
i been with sprint 6 years and never seen a corp. discount of 30 or 35%

Great deal!

I just called Sprint and am receiving 25% off our bill...we have a very old plan that I am amazed they continue to allow. Free unlimited text, long distance, internet, and tons of minutes. We have had this plan since 2001 and they don't offer anything like it. It's crazy that we now get 25% off that plan. Thanks for posting this deal!

The you are either the posterchid of a CLUELESS sprint employee exemplifing what is wrong with Sprint today or perhaps Sprint just thinks you in particular are not a important enough employee to share their best deals? In either case you are in the TOTALLY in the dark. There is a comprehensive list of Sprint corporate & govt discounts over at SD compiled from hundreds of SD members who are getting Sprint customer discounts stacked in the 30-45% rangehere. I guess those are all wrong too because you don't know about them? BTW you CAN stack corporate AND Govt discounts AND SERO! Do us all a favor and save your Spint BS superior mentality for those ignorant customers who don't know better.

Please post if ya get it to work with SERO!

high?? i have five lines, unlimited talk, texting, web, data, picmail, etc etc for 120 + tax.

Beat that.

Hell, match that.

customer service is sketchy. but their pricing rules. I've been a customer for 11 years.

(fwiw: the plan I'm on was to get me to stay after I told them I was switching to verizon!)

How can "I" get in on that?

back in january 2008 there was this post, I believe on FW?, that explained that since Sprint changed their terms (removing a 4 cent tax or something ridiculous) - We had 30 days to get out of it.

At that time, there was also a major billing error on my account. They had charged me twice and didn't include one of my five lines as a 10 dollar add-on -but billed it separately. I was obviously pissed.

After six hours on the phone, I thought I finally got someone competent on the phone. She said she was going to fix everything and it would all be fine. But after she was reviewing everything she did, she was like "Okay, what area code do you want your new line to be in..."

That's right. After explaining everything to this woman TWICE (and being transfered like seven times, so she had NOTES in front of her of what I was asking her to fix) she thought i wanted to ADD A LINE! wtf.

I flipped out. I wasted my entire day and got nowhere. So I said I want to just cancel everything -all five lines. They switched me to retention dept, and I said that I wanted out. I told them they had to let me out because they changed the terms. And a few people were like, well it's actually a cheaper bill because they deducted some tax thing - but I was pissed off. So I told them that didn't matter. the contract explicitly says I have 30 days to get out of the contract if you change anything, and i want out.

They switched me to an account manager.

And this woman was really apologetic. she said she was really sorry, she noticed i've been a customer for 10 years, and that I have FREQUENT complaints about dropped calls. So she offered me this deal, and even though I was ready to walk, it was just dumb not to take it. so i did. dropped calls are STILL annoying, but they happen less and less -and it doesn't matter as much because i have unlimited minutes

I think the bottom line is you have to be prepared to leave. I was SO READY to get the HELL out of the sprint world. I was ridiculously pissed that day. So that, in combination with the fact that Sprint was about to launch an aggressive campaign to get customers back (this is right before they introduced the Everything plan) - got me this deal.

It won't work for everyone. And this was NOT WHAT I WANTED - I wanted to LEAVE SPRINT! But like I said, it was just stupid not to take it.

A told a friend about this - he's a marketing guy - he said that sprint was consistently ranked worst in customer service and that they are doing everything they can to get away from that rep, so that's probably why they offered me that plan.

Terms say not applicable to "Simply Everything plans". Has anyone tried this discount with the "Everything Data Family Plan"? I'm guessing if this works, the 25% would replace my 15% gov employee discount.

I think I need to weigh in a bit, I've had a retention plan for close to 7 years and have managed to expand it to ridiculous lengths. However, Sprint recently changed the billing system so that your discounts are not applied to the base charge of the plan, they only go towards add-ons like txt and internet. If anyone can report differently, please do, but I had my bill down to $55 at one point for 4 lines and now I pay 100. Still a huge discount because I have txt, internet, and 4 lines in total.

So, just to clarify: this 25% discount replaces any current corp discounts on the account, right?
I currently have a 23% discount, so don't want to go through the trouble of signing up if it will only mean an additional 2%.
