this is what im hoping for. i think instead of having say 5 lines with smartphones and having a 10 dollar fee on each line, the should just make a new more truley unlimited plan that is say, 30 dollars higher with no premium data fees.
i would love for all these 10 dollar add ons to be included in the plan, just so i would get my corperate discount on them. i think adding all these required add ons is really under handed.

The sero plan is not an exclusive employee plan. It was available to everyone just like the everything plus is also.

I just got mine 5 months ago via a T.O.L.
They're still available. For example http://cgi.ebay.com/Sprint-30-500-SE...item4156c990ee

The sero plan was also advertised by sprint couple years back as a valentine promotion and you could have called in to customer service to get the plan. During that time you didn't need any employee info to get it. So at one point it was available to the public. Thats how several of my friends and family got theirs.

The link, what do you know, goes to an ebay page selling a SERO employee referal plan... hmmmmm, told you SERO is suppose to be for employees.... and you got your through Transfer of Liability.... so like I said, you can't walk into sprint to get one....

And do the Vday Promo...ummmm, " a few years ago"? I rest my case on that one too...

I'm not trying to fight anyone here, hell I've had sprint 10yrs.... but comparing a plan that can only be got by employees or buying it off the web via TOL(for the last few years) to a TMO plan that is Boldly Available on its website, is far from a fair comparison......... otherwise hell, I'm sure TMO has employee plans too... why are you not trying to compare Sero to that???

It's true. You can't compare sero anymore since it is no longer available. Years ago you could compare it when it was available. But now you can just compare plans with plans that are available through customer service or store. If course usually you can get better deals on the phone.

Sero(Sprint Employee REFERRAL Offer) was NOT for employees, it was for people referred by employees. They have better plans for employees, SWAC, I think it's like $10/month.

When Russ Mcguire intentionally put out his email address and employee code, he was essentially referring everyone who read it.

Same with the EPRP, Again, Anyone can go there and use his info to sign up! Go to sprint.com/sero, it says "you have been invited by a sprint employee to receive exclusive savings..."


It's Your choice if you're Only going to compare Plans that can be signed up for in a Sprint store, but I'm going to shop around until I find the Best plan possible, which was a TOL of a SERO plan!

Do you only buy your phones from a Sprint store as well, regardless if it costs more? I've never bought a phone from Sprint, and have always gotten them cheaper .
