SERO Premium

That's encouraging news, but we've all learned that customer service reps are often out of the loop, clueless about a lot of things, or they just contradict each other on subsequent calls.

I'll wait until October 1st.

Incidentally, does that date mark the new fiscal quarter for Sprint? What's the significance of 10/01/10 besides the obvious binary goodness?

Yah, we'll see what happens in October...

10/01/10...maybe the significance is that it will be in time for their fall phone releases?

If anyone is still reading this thread... I was curious if people who had the Blackberry BIS plan (called SERO-BKB or similar) were able to return to regular SERO and a regular SERO device.

I'm thinking that if all these rumors were true, and we were actually given a chance to buy-up to Android devices for $10/mo, do you think that it would come with a "new plan" like the Blackberry one seemed to for SOME people... OR just an addon in the way we think of addons?

[ink718]

Are you paying more for the SERO-BKB plan? Or the regular $30 SERO price?

[quick99si]

I'm not on that plan nor do I know for certain the price of that plan. I've heard of both "free BIS" as well as a $10 "addon" to SERO. It also seems that people with the latter are receiving phone calls and emails from Sprint giving them options to change to the $40 SERO BKB plan or kindly leave.

These are mostly rumors and should be accepted as such.

My worry was that most of us would opt into this $40 new SERO (which may not technically be a SERO plan), only to be told later on that we cannot revert to the $30 SERO since the plan is long expired. We may get the same response as someone with a regular Sprint plan calling in to switch over to SERO. Ow.

I believe the Blackberry SERO plan with the $10 extra is just because of the device... so if you switch to another non-blackberry phone, then you won't have that extra fee. Now with the thing coming up in October, it is not about just the phone (in this case android) that you pay that $10 extra fee... this fee also (as the sprint rep said) gives you unlimited mobile to mobile (to any network) and the navigation, sprint tv...etc. So once you switch to the $40/mo SERO in October, you most likely will not be able to go back to the $30/mo one.

that blackberry fee is an option. ive read many times on slickdeals.net how you can get the fee waived.

ive been trying desperatl to try and add another sero line to my account since i did succesfully a few months back but all the csr's swear taht its impossible yet it shows on my account it was added.

[ecrob]

it is almost impossible to add an extra SERO line because to do so you have to go through telesales... the only other way I know to have an extra SERO account is to port a number (I did it last week)to your account and select a SERO plan since for this you don't go through telesales but instead through customer service.

this is looking good
