$200 for evo +$10 extra for data
$800 for evo +$0 extra for data

if my math is correct, that would mean 60 months of extra data to add up to cost of phone at full price. when was the last time you had a smartphone that had value after 5 years?

Or you can just live by this:

"If you can't afford it, sell the shit you don't need so you can."

it's a good thing all the SERO users saved their money by using a SERO plan, now they can use that money they put into savings to pay for their new EVO 4G

Yeah, I like the car discussion that's going on also.

I just plumbed in a 3 port solinoid on my wastegate line to move from a bleed setup. is it a good idea or too much of a risk? The boost seems to be much more steady and more consistent now. I haven't really cranked it up yet I've got a WRX with a TurboXS utech...

I want the evo but I am not qualify for the $150 off. I guess I have to convince them and give me early upgrade.

If I get the $129.99 plan ( 2 lines)

129 25% -32 another -20 recurring credit
77 + 14(insurance 2 lines) + $10 4g = around 115 with taxes.

2 year around $2760


Anyone has something better please share thanks.

that $20/mo service credit is a nice add on to that plan you have there. That definitely adds up.

I did a quick search on slickdeals and found this thread regarding the Everything Plus Data and Any Mobile Anytime Referral Program. 500 minutes for 59.99. It's another employee referral program so I doubt any corp. discounts would be allowed. Depending on how the corp discount is applied it could or could not save me a few bucks a month. One benefit is the 50 extra minutes over the plan in my OP and could be another option for switchers who don't have any corp discount to apply.

Has anyone made the jump from SERO to the new Referral Program? It looks like android phones are allowed.

i'm also in the same boat switching from a SERO 500 to a regular 450 minutes and applying a 23% corp discount. Try wirefly.com to get the EVO 4G. they have a $50 cashback (through bing cashback) going on with any new phone purchase and no tax in most states, so you can potentially save up to $90 total like in my case.

to find the link for the bing cashback just search "wirefly" with bing and make sure your ad blockers are off, it should be at the top of the links.
