You will be able to put the Pro 7 on your current plan, but it will be an extra $10 a month. That is the word I got this morning from our Rep.

I've read some articles, and yes i can put my plan on pro 7 for $10 bucks extra a month (since it's an activation of a new phone). Basically, the people who are grandfathered-in just buy the phone retail (expensive, but will save in the long run) activate it for $10 more a month. I will be paying $30 a month instead of $20 =( lol

So I'm on a sprint power pack family plan, am in in the same boat as ^ ?

Sprint has closed the door on all other "data" phones for me and want's about another $150 per month for the same service. I'm hoping the WM phones will still squeak through.

Anyone know?

Everything right now is a guess, because i've called cust. service and they are clueless, they will always say you have to upgrade your plan to "everything data" blabla, so we just have to wait til the phone actually comes out and hopefully people in our situations will post results on activating the phone without having to upgrade or lose their discounted plan (sero, radioshack, 3rd party plan, any other grandfathered plan).

Just to let you know that you will only be able to switch to the WP7 if you can get someone to update your plan to the new employee plan through customer service (third party customer service) which can be an hassle, since your rep is the one that needs to make the changes. You do have to pay the 10 dollar premium data fee as well. I had to do that when I got my EVO. The plan is still the same but it allows for the premium data to be added on. If you don't work for the company then it is harder to get it changed. But i've heard of people getting it done.

Can you please list Sprints or the "third party" customer service number so we can attempt
this? Also, do we just ask for these changes be made? What should we ask of the reps?
Thx

We will have to make sure this conversation is still a go when the phone comes out. Because right now I'm on the $30 SERO plan. Now I know that I can upgrade to any phone for $10 a month, and then with their new $10 premium data, that puts me at $50, but if what I'm hearing is right, I will not get charged premium data if I buy the phone outright and just activate it?

this was actually covered before by that Russ guy from Sprint marketing. Anyone on the Sero Premium does not have to pay for the extra $10/mnth, since they are technically already paying for it. You will only pay the aditional $10 premium if you are using a 4G device

↑crap, didnt notice this device requires premium data addon! totally makes me reconsider getting it
