New SERO Oct 1st - Page 18

quazimodem · #**171** (**permalink**) 08-31-2010, 11:39 PM

For those that have the SERO F&F 500 $30 plan.... has anyone tried to call to "cancel" their service to go to another service provider to bait them to get you to retentions and offer to give you a better phone, one of those "iconic" phones, just to keep you? I've thought about doing this most especially after Oct 1st but I'm a little tentative to... they might actually be willing to accept the cancellation just to get rid of another customer who has the SERO 500 plan.

I personally hate the extra charges and I would do anything I can to stay at my plan even if I have to keep my tp2. I don't care for an android but I am burnt about Microsoft's WM7 future...

SMH... folks complaining about dinner money a month.

That dinner money a month is the equivalent of Sprint's top of the line phone every contract renewal. I'm curious to see if you'd also be shaking your head if Sprint offered to you a brand new Samsung Epic.

BTW using SMH on an internet forum is stupid IMHO.

I've only had sero for 2 weeks, thanks to a tol from a member here, but I'm not about to complain and ask for discounts. 10 more seems fair for android. I took the other route, learned to program phones.Sitting pretty using my samsung moment.

Most wont go that route because a. It's hard, and b. It's illegal

For the first issue? So what

For the second issue? again SO WHAT. it should not BE illegal so its a law that rightly SHOULD be ignored. While I lack the skill to attempt such things I would do so in a heart beat if I had the skill and a desire to do it.

Whats wrong is for sprint to dictate a higher monthly charge for a piece of hardware that gives you no more "service" than any other piece of hardware JUST FOR THE SAKE of owning that different piece of hardware.

Not because if gives you more service (THAT IS what your paying for service) but because they know its a DESIRED phone.

THAT should be illegal. They want to apply terms to upgrade your phone? fine. but if I buy it outright sprint should have NO SAY and be able to impose NO fees.

it's an ok deal, but dont think I will jump. will sprint be making any more high end 3g phones that are capable with SERO? I really dont want to pay extra with the economy and all.

We all wish! WebOS and Android are all blocked from SERO, and WM6.5 has been discontinued, and WM7 probably will not be allowed on SERO... so if I had to guess no smart phones will be allowed on SERO.
