SERO Premium

[ink718]

@ bkrodgers & quick99si: Ok, i didn't real the FAG but when the TP and TP2 came out a lot of people who had the SERO plan were upgrading their phones at BestBuy. Because BestBuy got them before any Sprint corporate or retail stores. And all was going well.

I just got shot down trying to upgrade my plan and phone at Radioshack. They said that the only way to upgrade was over the phone through telesales or through the website, which is not available yet. What is the price that everyone is paying for the Epic 4g through telesales? Pretty pissed that Radio Shack sells it for $219 with NO MIR, and Sprint is trying to charge me $350 with a 100 dollar MIR. How exactly is that 150 dollar upgrade credit something special when some schmuck off the street can buy the phone for the exact same price if Sprint has NEVER ever done business with him before??

whining in multiple threads is not going to help you get your phone at RS.

why are you pissed anyway?? you have a much better plan then any "shmuck off the street can buy". sprint is being very generous letting you keep that plan and all you can do is bitch and moan.

usually its the new customers who get the best deal. its a lot harder to get new people in then it is to keep the ones you have.

Whoever said your plan had to say "Sero" cause mine only said F&F 500 and I am now on Sero Premium with a Samsung Epic 4G. The only thing that hurt was the cost of changing phones. The Epic with a price tag of $390.41 - $100.00 MIR = $290.41 still on the high side. Glad I got $150.00 for my Touch Pro 2, so after doing the math, I got my Samsung Epic for around $140.00, but still have to wait for the damn rebate though.

Just don't ask me how much I paid for my Touch Pro 2 back in September of last year .

Maybe you should read the FAQ then.. it's even linked in bkrodgers' post. I've bought phones at BB also. Things have changed, however, and by things I mean that Sprint EXPLICITLY stated that SERO upgrades go through Sprint and Sprint only. Besides actually saying it, they also implimented what seems to be a strict policy to block out any 3rd party retailers from selling phones to SERO users at a discount.

Please stop.

Am not trying to sound like a a$s but if you already have the SERO plan, just dial *2 from phone and it will connect you to Employee Care and just tell them that you want to switch to the SERO Premium plan. Once you do that, try to go into Radio and get the Epic/Evo. Also that $150 upgrade you dont have to take it. You can renew your contract by buying a phone anytime your contract is up by asking for the "new customer price" which is what the "some schmuch off the streets" who is signing a new contract with Sprint or any other provider gets. And its like what lafester said, be happy and that you have one the cheapest and greatest plans Sprint has to offer. Hope its not confusing what I am saying. If you got questions, just quote me and I will help you out. ;]

Listen I am playing nice but if you want to start ranting, I dont got a problem homie. I been with Sprint for 12 years! And have 9 lines total! Am sure Sprint wouldn't mind me upgrading my contract at ANY place since they are making hundreds of dollars from me every year. And also giving Sprint about 45-50 new customers as well. ;]
