New SERO Oct 1st

[nerys]

your analogy is flawed. this would be like you having a SUBSCRIPTION to Big Mac's and one day you come in with a nice shiny new FORK to use to eat your big mac and McDonalds says sorry to use that fork to eat this sandwich you need to pay another $10 per month.

See how silly that sounds. Now you know why sprint is making me mad. I actually wanted a pixie (small candy bar phone my favorite kind) which is far far LESS capable a phone than my TP2 and technologically as far as SPRINT is concerned NO DIFFERENT.

Let me repeat this again. The price you pay sprint has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HUNK OF SILICON AND PLASTIC IN YOUR HANDS.

it has to do with the SERVICE that hunk of plastic ACCESSES. Your paying for a SERVICE NOT A DEVICE.

this is no different than a new "CAR" coming out on the market and the local SHELL stations decides that even though the GAS is exactly the same we are going to charge you MORE to use our gas in that new car.

both are lunacy.

I JUST GOT OFF the phone with Sprint and YES its possible to change from
SERO F&F 1250 -->$49.99 TO a SERO F&F 500 --> $30.00 I just did it.
No problems at all on the call, no need to beg or anything. I had this question and so did others.

The Sprint Rep also confirmed that on Oct first when the new plan goes into effect I will have the choice to go for EITHER the EVO or the EPIC for an additional $20 dollars ( $10 for 4g , $10 for android).... So I will be back were I was- $50 dollars a month. The rep also confirmed that the new plan will have 1- unlimited mobile to ANY mobile minutes 2-the same 500 any times minutes ( for Land lines) 3- nights and weekends starting at my current 7 pm.4- 4G unlimited internet 5- Unlimited Picture mails and text messages

I don't know about you guys but I rarely call anyone that doesn't have a Mobile.. 500 minutes is more than plenty for calling landlines..


There is NO reason anyone on the SERO should complain about the $10 extra bucks... $50 dollars a months is still the BEST deal around PERIOD.

I also have the "Save $150 on a new phone now! We love you, and to say thanks for spending time with us, you qualified on 02/01/10 to save $150." On my account So maybe when I update the account I might be able to get that off the EVO OR EPIC.... Wouldn't that be sweet!!!!

Lets compare burgers to burgers....

You have a membership to 500 big macs for 30 dollars mnth from franchise Sprint....
It's only valid at Sprint's McD's within a designated area and Sprint McD's can change or cancel the subscription that you agreed to when you began the membership. They are the rulemakers since they drafted up the contract, provided a service at a discounted price, and the Sprint McD's paid for the overhead to make the burgers for you.

Sprint McD's gives you the option for $10 more that you can use the new angusdroid burgers instead of the meat that you had been eating since they believe the angusdroid burgers are a premium meat....
Sprint McD's also says you can use your membership at any McD's and they'll even give you rough crappy gps directions to the other McD's to eat your angusdroid burgers....

Previously they didn't allow angusdroid burgers because they didn't allow nor were they obligated by your membership to use tha angusdroid meat for your membership

mmmm angusdroid burgers
