nerys...why can't you accept the fact that there are SERO users like us that thinks this new plan offer by Sprint works for us? just because YOU yourself do not find the anytime any mobile and sprint navi to your satisfaction and stated you have no need for it, it does NOT mean that it's not beneficial for other SERO customers like me.
for me...it works because my SERO plan will stop functioning as strictly a backup line within the next 6 or so months. my oldest son is getting to that age where i want to give him his own cell phone so that when he is not home when expected...i have a way to get a hold of him. and im pretty sure not all of his friends will have Sprint phones. so that original mobile to mobile that comes with the plan already....how many do you think of my son's friends will have sprint too? and how long do you think that 500 free anytime minutes will last for a kid at the age of 11? so that anytime any mobile that is worthless to you is the difference for me paying an extra $5-$20 a month for overage. i don't want to pay $70+tax each month for a plan for my kid.
so $40 for an 11yo kid's phone plan is the cheapest post-paid plan im gonna find with the add-ons that come with it. that saves me $30/month by not going on the Everything Data plan. and using the same reasoning you originally used, that $30 a month i save being on SERO premium translates to $3,600 in the span of 10 years. so if my calculations are correct based on your example $3,600 - $1,200 (the extra $10/moth over 10 years) = to the amount you complained of $2,400 you're going to be spending over 10 years that I will be saving. and another good thing about it too is.....i can keep going back and forth to the $30 and $40 plan whenever i want. yup! Sprint is giving me that choice. true the phone that is activated can't be an iconic phone when switching back to the $30 plan. but c'mon...do you guys really think an 11 y.o. needs to be using a ppc device? if he wants a ppc device...he can use my tp2 on it
and that my friend...is the reason why you need to stop wondering why some SERO customers, like me, is standing on the other side of the fence from where you are. you've stated and argued your side and other SERO customers has chimed in and gave their opinion about what they think....so in IMHO, when you keep stating how it's not beneficial for SERO customers.....
