Well I'll be the bad guy then. I think it sucks.
I mean frankly I feel like I'm penalized for being on SERO legitimately. I didn't make the original plan or rules. So why am I always made to feel like I've gotten away with murder?
I understand the concept behind monthly rates that subsidize the purchase (or discount) of the new phone, but why am I not allowed to just pay full price for any phone upfront and use it on my plan like everyone else? (with the exception of 4G which arguably will use more data eventually). I tell you why...because they regret offering it now, but somehow Sprint managed to turned that oversight into my fault. Nice.
Edit:
kirstein beat me to the punch. Haha....
