Anyone know if the Samsung Moment can be activated under the SERO plans?

Everything I read says no.

Went to activate/purchase a Hero and was told that all android phones require everything plan(s)

Yeah they are trying to get everyone off that plan. I use to be a Sprint employee and had the plan but stopped it due to this fact.

I posted about this in another thread;

clockcycle: Will SERO customers be able to upgrade to HTC Hero, Samsung Moment, etc, without changing their plans?
David: No. Android, webOS, and Instinct require Everything type plans.

Yea I just tried yesterday. It's a no go. Sprint rep said pretty soon you wont be able to activate any of the high end phone on sero plan. Sprint is bull****ting. I guess a good way to cover up there mistakes.

If you are out of contract, retentions can offer some discounts. I was on original $30 sero without included text and paying $15 for unlim text.

I got the moment and worked with retentions - I kept my 25% corporate discount, plus a recurring monthly credit was added to my account. My bill is now a few dollars cheaper than it was before and I have anytime any mobile now, so for me that is basically unlimited minutes.

So NO, you cannot activate on SERO, but retentions is DEFINITELY able to heavily discount the 69.99$ Everything data plan so you will end up paying the same or maybe $10 more than SERO. Well worth it in my opinion.
