this is a good point but currently the faq on his site details how to change your sero plan to get other devices- i.e. "upgrade" to the everything plus so I am hoping he is referring to another "upgrade"

This little tid bit of rumor has me chomping at the bit. I would love to see SERO folks get some love "

I would be interested in paying an extra $10 for an android device, heck I might even be interested in paying the $10 extra fee plus the $10 Evo "Coolness" tax

Looks like sero stock is rising lol. Well if you don't need more than two lines.

**BooDaddy** · #**176** (**permalink**) 08-02-2010, 01:04 AM

Heh, I'm still loving my 2 SERO lines! Somehow I even managed to get a corporate discount on my plan. My company does a 20% discount. I figured, hell I may as well try.. so I submitted for it. I ended up getting it. So essentially, the discount covers the cost of my insurance plan on both lines.
I have even attached a screen grab proving it:

If it ever becomes available for me to add a newer android phone for a few bucks extra a month, I would jump all over that. But for now, even the EVO isnt cool enough for me to drop such a cheap plan.

Nice discount. I had a discount on mine before but sprint took it off and wouldn't put it back. Still cheap though. Maybe I'll try again lol.

Update 7/29

Russ McGuire (V.P. Strategy, Sprint) In replying to a question on his blog, McGuire's Law, responds [mcguireslaw.com] to a question from a sprintusers.com poster about impending changes to SERO,

Hi Russ,

Thank you for being so gracious to answer all of our questions. Your responses have been very helpful to us all, and there is some debate as to exactly what the conversation between you and user Elliott on July 28th means for SERO users.

Specifically, does the opportunity for SERO users to switch plans on October 1 provide SERO users the opportunity to upgrade to a plan that would;
Cost $10 more ($40/month for users of the $30 F&F SERO 500 users)
Include Any Mobile Anytime
Include Text Messaging
Include Navigation
Allow the addition of iconic devices (including the HTC EVO and Epic) for the $10 “iconic device” usage fee.

Whether you’re able to divulge this information, I am not sure, but it will save internet posters and your call centers time and trouble through speculation.

I appreciate your time and trouble, and would definitely enjoy hearing any specific information you can provide.

Thank you.

@mdb, I just passed along your question and the answer back was “yes on all counts”. (I think there’s another $10 charge for the EVO on top of the premium charge, but I could be wrong.) Good news?"

Seems as though the rumor is confirmed. On 10/1 Android will be available for SERO users

1. Huh? You have it wrong. He is clearly saying. $10 more for "iconic" 3g and $20 more for "iconic 4g" while keeping SERO. He does confirm it, in fact he says he double checked with the people putting together the change and confirms it.

2. Many other reps have confirmed it. the only people ever denying that a change was going to be made for SERO are low level reps, which incidentally always get upcoming sprint changes wrong.

On top of that it makes sense. Sprint has been having trouble even given the latest quarterly report. If you look at the numbers they are falling further behind in smartphone market share -- even with the last quarters improvements
