You sure about that?

Last time I checked, Best Buy and even Sprint stores could not access/modify SERO accounts anymore. Have to do it all via Telesales unless you are just buying it full retail.

A Sprint store couldn't even add an Air Rave to my account.

I purchased mine thru the Sero (Everything Plus Referral) site and it was as Rippa_MD says...just follow the prompts and order. OK...so now I am locked into Sero for 2 more years ($30 looks might good). I did notice that there is a special rebate form for the Sero (Everything Plus Referral).

Could someone interpret the right side of the page? It looks like they'll kick back $75 instantly if you in-store activate. But my eyes are old and am not sure if I read this right. But to me it reads if you take it to the store (and let them try to sell you stuff) you get another $75 (minus the "$18 activation may apply" charge). If so..that's $57 cheaper.

I can confirm what Rippa_MD said about upgrading through the Everything Plus Referral Program site. I'm on the $30 SERO plan and have been for about 25 months. I'm upgrading from a Touch Pro, and had a Titan on the same plan prior to that.

I entered the EPRP site with the email/ID # from slickdeals.com. Then I selected the Touch Pro2 from their list of available phones and selected the "Upgrade/Replace" option. I then selected the 24 month contract under "Upgrade Pricing for You".

After I skipped the following page for adding accessories, it took me to checkout showing the $150 upgrade discount and $100 mail in rebate with a total one time charge of $449.99.

After hitting checkout it automatically said it would apply the charge to my bill and asked me for my email address, phone number, and delivery time. It then took me to the verification screen after finding my account, asking me again for the employee email/ID #, defaulted to free overnight shipping, and totaled to $481.49 after tax (Virginia).

Works like a charm!

Don't forget you have to mail in the rebate form to get the rebate. That price you mentioned is BEFORE the rebate.

ooops forgot to press the quote button for vegasden:

New customers get the $150 for a two year but since you are customer already you get the option to renew for two years to get the $150 discount online or renew for one year to get the $75 discount.


New info for everyone else
I forgot to mention that there's is a $25 coupon on a new line ordered online in addition to the $100 rebate. If you look at your sprint email receipt it says to 'click' here to find out about $25 offer, I thought it was the referral promo but it's totally different.

Disclaimer says not for existing lines but try it anyway when you are about to order in the promotion box enter "254YOU", it might work, worst that can happen is you get 'not valid'.

Oh I won't forget! Hopefully Sprint will screw up my rebate like they did when I ordered my Titan 2 years ago and give me all of my money back for my troubles!

$100 MIR + Sprint screws up and wants to make sure I don't cancel = $300 MIR = awesome

What was I thinking? That Sprint would do something for it's faithful cu$tomer$?

does anyone know if they are letting you use the sero plan w/tp2 or are they trying to pull what they did with the palm pre and make people get an unlimited data plan

I don't have sero but there have been a couple of threads that talked about this, maybe you can find your answer there.
