It will be $50. $10 for 4g and $10 for sero premium on top of the $30 plan.

I hate to sound stupid, but what exactly does SERO "premium" entail?

It adds the Any Mobile Any Time deal to the plan. Aside from the obvious that you can use virtually any phone on the plan, they didn't tell me it did much more than that.

It's like an everything plus plan with the minute cap.

Premium adds unlimted call to any cellphone that is not even part of Sprint. Only calling to land phone will cost you.

It adds GPS and Sprint TV unlimited.

I am going to call in at 7 am on the 24th to order my phone. I need to upgrade my plan from $30 to $50.

I use google voice as my free Sprint to home #, so it's unlimited anytime including landlines. And who doesn't have Gmaps/Bing/etc. For free gps.
So I guess there's the Extra channels on Sprint TV for $20 more a month.

All the extra stuff is just $40/month. Having a phone that is 4G capable adds the extra $10/month. Cause that's how they like it. I upgraded to the $40/month plan already and they said whenever I activate a phone that is 4G capable (Evo 3D of course, once it's out) then they'll add on the $10.

Google voice is using data?

Gmap doesnt do nice and turn. I think Android phone can do it but I have play Android before.

You forgot free unlimited to any cellphone any time.

How is that you guys got to keep SERO and get the EVO they told me back when I got the Hero I couldn't keep Sero anymore! >:O I fought and fought and they just claimed it was impossible! in the end they just gave me a $10 discount off the regular plan. they did the same for everyone else I knew on the plan! Should I try to call and argue my way back into it? Do you think it's possible? MY dad kept an older phone and thusly his Sero and now they are letting him get the Evo and maybe E3D too

Maybe the option for SERO premium wasn't available at that time? They told me if I change from my $30 SERO to the $40 SERO, I can get any phone (except the ones that have plan deals, like the Instinct, which only excludes about 3 phones) including the latest smart phones, like the Evo 3D which I'm planning to get. Of course, as you've seen, it adds the $10 for data to make it $50/month.

I would try talking to them again to see if you could get back on the plan. If that fails, I'd write an email to customer care. I had an unrelated issue a while back about keeping my SERO plan (not related to the type of phone on the service) and it was a long process until I finally sent an email to all of the customer care addresses I found. It wasn't inflammatory but it expressed my experience, concerns, and that I was disgruntled. I know they don't like changing a plan into SERO, but you were already there once and would be worth at least trying to get on the SERO Premium plan again. As long as it's worth it to you to expect a bit of a fight from them.

If you try it, good luck! I'd be curious to know the results...

[chong67]

Yah, I would call them again and find out. Maybe ask your dad to clone you? They do allow that.

You can still get SERO today, but its $60. There is no secret about this.
