From what they understand is after the initial 60 days they will be able to get employee plans for themselves. Hence the computers will allow for "other" plans. They did not specifically tell me that I will be able to use my sero plan but hinted that I should not get rid of it so soon. They say sprint has locked the esn's for all pre phones for 60 days so that you are forced to upgrade your plan. After that, it's all fair to satisfy any customer. Now I dont know how much of this you will believe but it does sort of make sense. These guys had the pre to sell to me but told me to hold on to my plan for a while, so make of it what you will.

I can conquer. I got the same info from the RAD guys at my local store. For the first 60 days the Pre is under an exclusivity contract between Palm and Sprint. No one else can carry the phone so that it drives business to Sprint. During that period Sprint is forcing customers to choose the most lucrative plans for Sprint. I can't plame them for that. It's a for-profit business with shareholders to answer to.

However, I'm on a $39.99 SERO plan + 2 corporate discounts, and a handfull of other little nickle-n-dine discounts for various reasons. I don't care if the Pre could suck me off, I'm not ditching my plan anytime soon....

I started to consider the new iphone but when I started to price out the plan, reality set in.

They want 59.99 for 900 minutes, 30 for data, 15 for 1250 text messages for a monthly bill of $104.99.

I guess I'll stick to my 49.99 sero plan

funny. i did the same. was thinking of going iphone but compared it to $120 for the iphone, including everything u mentioned but unlimited text and night starts at 7 pm. to paying $125 for two lines with sprint with 2000 shared minutes, nights at 7pm and unlimited everything else.

I got the EPRP Family 3200 minute plan for $149.99 a month for the first 2 lines and $14.99 a month for each additional line. These are the plans that took over for SERO there are quite a few. Overall for my 3 lines this costs me only $5 more per month per line. Overall not too bad. Now I need to wait a month to see if my 23% employer discount carries over.

So, from what it looks like, anyone who wants a pre, for the first two months of its release, will absolutely need an "everything" plan or a "business essentials". No way out of it. After 60 days however, there MIGHT be a possibility to activate it on an old plan. Hope this information is true!

Put it this way, whatever plan you can activate an Instinct on should be the same for a Pre. Which as far as I understand is an everything plan or select employee plans.

No employees plans yet, if you have a "business essentials" plan you can get the Pre...

Ooops I forgot to say, "and eventually employee plans", but I do have my pre on a Everything referral family plan right now. It did take a work around.
