Re: Touch Pro from Best Buy with $100 Sprint Rebate

That doesn't sound like you are really taking the ethical stand here. If you were, then you would call and get on a regular sprint plan.

Note, the $100 I "might" receive with this rebate is nothing compared to the monthly discounts you are receiving. I'll switch with you any day and would eagerly give you $100 (and more) if you can get me on a SERO plan.
I appreciate the proposed irony but in fact it's actually wrong as I do have a friend who works at Sprint's corporate office here in Northern VA...

I do think you are right, though that getting on SERO ellicitly is on par with trying to get an additional $100 from Sprint. Look, it's Sprint's fault, no doubt, for making it so easy to sign up for SERO without really being a friend or family of an employee. Part of me wonders if they did this intentionally to attract more customers, but who knows! Still, it doesn't make it ethically right. Aside from the ethics, the financial part of this boils down to the fact that by trying to pay as little as possible for both phone and service, we aren't helping Sprint, and could see as a result that Sprint will just go away. It may well go away anyway and largely due to its own mismanagement, but that doesn't mean that we should hasten it. I'm not condemning people for trying to do this, simply pointing out the ethics and if people are ok with it, that's on them.
