Re: Sprint TP2, 3G new fees, forced new plans, no grandfather, no upgrade path

I am fortunate enough to have a "Special" SERO plan on month-to-month. Unfortunatley in order to keep this awesome plan, I can not upgrade my phone currently.

My $30 a month SERO plan has the International Discounted Rates added, Any Mobile-Anytime, and TEP all for free. So I basically have unlimited minutes with 500 anytime Landline minutes, free phone replacement (remove OS, task** aka Phone has issue rebooting).

So I will probably never get rid of this line.

However my family is tired of excess charges thru At&t. And switching 4 of them over to an Everything Plus Data Family plan (Sprint.com/sero) equates to around $45 per line for all lines having smartphones. If you add in the $125 credit for porting a number to a new line of service on a Smartphone, you basically can wave the first year of that new $10 Data premium. (If you are already on Sprint and out of contract - be creative and pick-up a burner or pre-paid and port the number to that phone and then create a new line of service on Sprint and port the number back for the credit)

So even though the pricing is no longer Super Cheap - it is still more than ultra reasonable.

Largest gripe about jumping thru these hoops to get discounted plans is the lack of service at Sprint Stores. They are no longer allowed to even touch the discounted plans. So all future phone upgrades have to be done by calling the special (88 211-4727 number or going thru the sprint.com/sero site.

Which is time consuming, but if it saves $40-50/month as compared to the regular Everything Data Family plan SO-BE-IT!!!
