I'm about to sign up for SERO today or tomorrow.

Are there any Promotional Codes that work?

What is this Referral Program?

I'm thinking that I will get the Sprint Mogul. Just trying to calculate out if it is worth it in the money I will save to have to Cancel my current account and pay the $200 and then have to buy the Mogul for $400.

There should be other posts about the Referral Program because I did it with Dev.

I'm sure he will post his contact info after this and y'all can work it out.

Its pretty much just a free 25 buck debit card. Pretty sweet deal.

I had a question. I originally opened my Sprint account in 2001. Sometime about 2 years ago I got on my parents' account as an additional line (my name is the name on my line, but not the account holder). I just recently upgraded my phone in Feb., and we all signed new two year contracts. In the near future (long before the contract expires) I am planning on getting out of being a line on my parents and getting back on my own. What are my options?

**UPDATE**

Updated first post with new rebate and the unlimited txt messaging has been extended to 07/13/08.

jwniclos - If you are getting out of your family plan than it is quite simple. Just open up an account with SERO online, and use one of the coupon codes like 50BACK when you are checking out to get $50 off your bill (which is like almost two months free!) Then since you are opening a new line. Use me or one family as a referral to get another $25 off. Let me know if you have another question.

Devastor:

Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but I was wondering something:

Is Sprint not concerned about people jumping ship for an iPhone on AT&T due to forcing anyone who wants an Instinct off of SERO? (Or does this "demographic" not represent a large enough % of subscribership?)

To be perfectly frank, that's probably what I'm going to do now.

Thanks devestator. Will I have to pay a cancellation fee on the line on my parents's account since my contract won't be over. In addition, is there a way to keep my phone number when I do it?

Anyone hear that Sprint is pulling the plug on the Q9c's? I was just about to pull the trigger on one for a new SERO plan and they have mysteriously disappeared from their website.

Let's just assume that I know next to nothing about this, I read the whole FAQ page and I still really don't understand how it works. You said I have to have an employees email or something?

**UPDATE**
This hasn't to do with SERO plans but Sprint is now offering UNLIMITED Family Plans for $95.

1) Plan exists, but only retentions can see it.
2) You must be in "Ensemble" to have this plan added.
3) The plan DOES NOT include the extras (internet/text/etc). Must add those on, however with some talking can be added for FREE.
4) $95 for two lines, each line additional per month.
5) You can NOT request to be moved to the new billing system. It has to happen on it's own.

People who are NOT calling from their sprint phones can dial 877-349-4413 to directly reach an operator. From there say you want to cancel your account and you will be transferred to retentions.

You can call and ask specifically for Plan FC2396.



Devastor,

Any idea what a 3rd line would cost on this plan? Is it the more reasonable $5 or $10 or is it the ridiculous $20 or $25?

If you go to the sero website, you can choose to buy the instinct there for 220 with 100 mail in rebate. and it has a 99 dollar unlimited plan that you can choose so i dont see why it wouldn't work.
jwalkag
How long do you want to ignore this user?

i got a samsung ace instead fir 39 bucks a month

Devastor,

I was able to get two sero phones on a family plan for 1500 min. at 129.99

I was able to get them to credit my account 200 dollars so the phones with the mail in rebate she talked about will come out to be 30 dollars each.

Is this the same mail in rebate that is talked about on the first page? What else can i take advantage of that you can think?

Thanks in advance.

can anyone tell me if the unlimited mobile to mobile calls on this plan is only for sprint to sprint calls, or is it to any cell phone carrier?

thanks

UPDATE

July 13th Not only will Sprint will be releasing new SERO plans that will be cheaper than $99 and work with the Instinct. It looks like the Treo 800W and the BB Curve 8830 will be released on July 13th.

Check it

Of course this is just one day after the 3G iphone is released! oh yeah!
************************************************


aggie5857,

Yes she is talking about the same rebate that has been posted in the first post.
What you can is e-mail ecare and tell them to apply the 50BACK coupon code to receive a $50 credit on your bill. Just tell them you fogot to apply it when you order the two phones.

You can also get another $25 if you e-mail me at rsoto04 @ gmail.com so you can give instructions to use me as a referral :-)

Devastor,

I know you'll post as soon as you know, but really interested to see what these new SERO plans look like. I could be getting a new phone today but am having to wait until the 13th due to the temporary shortage on Curves. But since those new plans are supposed to be out that same day, it may be a good deal to wait.

Did I really see something today that said the Instinct was going to be $129 after rebate? That's insane, especially if coupled with a less than $99 SERO plan.

FYI folks it looks like sero as we know it may be going away.

quote:
The launch date is 7/10/08

On this day SERO will be shut down (as we know it now) - and in its place "Simply Everything Plus". This includes what SERO has, plus GPS Navigation.

Everything Plus 500 is going to be $59.99
Everything Plus 1000 is going to be $79.99
Simply Everything for $99.99 will still be an option

The 500 minute plan for thirty dollars and for 1250 plan for fifty dollars will expire on 7/10. Customers on these plans will be grandfathered and remain on the plans, but all new SERO activations will be on the new plans.

New Customers & Existing Customers extending contracts

-Sprints credits previous provider’s Early Termination Fee


Does anyone know how to go about getting the ETF credited?

Thats a very good question. I would really like to know the answer to that as well.

***UPDATE***

Ok got more information now. THIS IS TRUE Memo was released yesterday to Sprint employees. July 10 is the soft launch (meaning all the prices change in the retail store channel), for the new promo period which begins on 7/13.

So pretty much the NEW sero plan will be like a 15% discount from regular SEP plans, plus a few additional mintues. SEP plans will include Sprint TV and GPS Navigation. All Old SERO'ers will be grandfathered in, HOWEVER when you upgrade to a SEP phone, such as the Instinct, you will be forced to change your plan or pick a non-SEP phone (I would suggest the Touch).

IF YOU WANT A SERO PLAN GET IT NOW!!

if this turns out to be true i will be holding onto my existing motoq a while longer..... was all set to upgrade to the instinct but now i will wait till ces09 to see what windows mobile 7 looks like (it actually looks really damn cool from the screenshots but that doesnt say much about the phones that will be using it) or im sure we will see some other cool stuff get shown/announced there. especially since i am going this year i will be able to get my hands on most of these devices.
