well if u have sero(which its not called that anymore), doesnt that mean u were an emp of sprint? or did u get it passed on to you?

the 5gb cap, is a "soft cap".. meaning if you go over some, or even alot in 1 month its not a big deal and u wont see charges... if you do it multiple months in a row(sprint checks our usuage on a 3month at a time scale) you may run the risk of them notifying you..

to the best of my knowledge, weve never had anyone here thats been repremanded(asise from an email-Telus cust) and some people boast how they use 10+gbs every month..

agreed never heard of anyone being charged. but it does say they can cancel your account if you are in excess.

well it is beatable, but not as a straight rate plan, your right sero is good..
but you pay what 30bucks for 500min??

i pay 70bucks, have 4lines, 1500 share minutes and unlimited everything else.. 2 free unlimited data.. 1 unimited data for 8bucks.. then my insurance... i have big discounts is why my price is so low though... but i def beat any sero plan out there

SERO, was sprint employee REFERRAL offer. Had to be referred by a Sprint employee. Many people signed up using that one email address that was floating around the net. I had just signed up or I would have done it, although now I'm reading of people having problems with sprint not letting you use certain phones on it. I have the 450($39.99) and $15 power vision, $43/month after 22% discount so I'm not complaining. Also free Pick3 which I just set one up as my Google voice number, so essentially can make or receive calls without ever using minutes again. Sorry I've gone off topic. I've gone over 5gb a couple times, no problems!

I've got a Google Voice number. How do you set that up on your phone? I understand the PC setup but not the phone app.
