Pro 2 with Sero, rebates and other pricing

I'm kicking myself for missing the "special pricing" on the $199 deal. But I think it's a fluke that wasn't supposed to have happened, hence it was shutdown so quickly, especially for SERO users.

I've come to the conclusion that Sprint phones just cost more to offset the lower priced plans. Considering the Touch Pro right now is $299 after rebates, that sucker barely dropped, even though it's outdated! So it doesn't seem like the TP2 will drop mch.

In terms of getting it for less than $349, it sounds like you guys are a bunch of really smooth talking con artists on the phone, along with some gullible rep. Am i right?

Plus I'm not sure I care for that hassle and I've only been a SERO customer for 2 years--the plan just expired. I don't have some sort of 10+ year customer loyalty, or multiple plans topics people use with retentions, so I'm thinking I'm gonna get a lotta frustrating "No's".

That $100 rebate seems to be limited for regular Sprint customers, and not SERO customers. Nowhere it lists "SERO" plans. The rebate are available for EPRP customers, but that doesn't list SERO either. Seems like SERO customers can't get the $100. Sure you can fill out the paper work, but what happens after? So I must ask, has anyone actually gotten their rebate check for a SERO customer with a Tp2?

I have a Mogul now that's totally on it's last leg. The keyboard is barely usable, and due to certain circumstances, I have an even greater use for it. But the keyboard hinders it. Plus the limited technology I've found really makes it a lackluster device... So it's gotta go, and soon.

Either way if I find out my $100 rebate doesn't go, that's like $480 with tax and extends my contract for 2 years. Considering a phone can be on eBay for $409, with a 2-year coverage plan for $40, without the rebate, it seems silly to go through Sprint...

Thoughts?

I'm on SERO. Just got an e-mail not too long ago saying rebate's being processed now. If you have insurance, claim insurance on your Mogul, I'm pretty sure you'll at least get a Touch Pro out of it

SERO + Rebates work fine. I've had a rebate on every phone I've purchase from Sprint while on SERO over the past couple of years.

I never got insurance. Not worth it, and buy the time the phone went bad, well I also realized the phone BLOWS.

You've actually received a CHECK in hand, right?

Also which rebate is it that I need to send in? The regular ones, or EPRP one?

I'm best of calling telesales?

...dare I ask how much did you all pay for your phones?

Don't get too hung over on the price you paid. You bought the phone to make yourself happy so enjoy it. I'm sure more chances to rip off sprint will come by in the future.

If it makes you feel better, I'm into gaming laptops which usually cost upwards of 3-4k in initial year it comes out, but the price falls to about half or more towards the end of new models coming out. Do I know this will happen? Yes, but I buy it to enjoy it and abuse the crap out of it until I get a new one.

P.S. I have 3 laptops right now lol.

Another unsatisfied customer. Be happy that you have sero. And I got my tp2 for $199 after three $50 credits and after MIR. Im no con artist,I just told them the truth. The touch pro 1 cost me $199 cause I got the MIR credited to my account. That was the Bestbuy price at the time when I bought my phone and Sprint did price match. The MIR will work. What can I scam sprint out of next?

I got the $100 rebate and a $150 credit applied to my account. I am on Sero.

To top it off, I ordered the phone from my wife's plan which had it's contract expired and was eligible for the $150, and I activated that phone on my account.
