I was informed by sprint folks that you don't have to port in by July 12. You just need to place your order by July 12, and you can port anytime after that. This is what I plan on doing.

That's still ridiculously good value

The porting in thing worries me. I was also operating under the assumption that I could port in at any time?

They got the price wrong. Its $59.99!

We can hope it's 49.99 can't we? But yea... either way.. it's not horrible.... still above average I would say. But, not as rediculously good as current SERO pricing - assuming you don't care for the premium services (music, tv, nfl, etc)

Well, SERO was too good to last, wasn't it? So I'm not surprised.

So would - Unlimited domestic web access equate to Unlimited Data?

Basically. I see it as lawyers adding in protection in case someone travels internationally and uses up a ton of data b/c the contract never specified it had to be domestic data.

$49.95 with BIS? Heck, that's $10 cheaper than I'm paying now for the SERO 500 Voice only plan with BIS! ($30 + $30).

I'm going to be calling Sprint later this week if that's the case.

My wife's still on the $30 SERO with her Centro.

The e-mail was written probably because the OP is coming in from another carrier.

If you already have the SERO plan and want to port in another number later, they simply keep the plan and do a number change with the port in. I did that a few months back when I ported a T-Mobile number in. I had the original number with Sprint for 6 months before I did this.

I was about to say this is a better deal for people with SERO + BIS = 60$ atleast. and even if its 59.99 you still get more services then with SERO+BIS.


Damn Good Value Sprint.

i saw that, but i have a feeling this rep is wrong. I mean they got the price wrong, we already know its $59 and $79 for the 500/1000.

i have doubts that SERO comes with BIS because BB takes a cut of the monthly fee from Sprint for using their servers. i highly doubt a $30/month option would be included in that price

everything else sounds right we know they added sprint tv,music, nav all that sprint fluff in the higher cost SERO making it like SEP, but ive never heard BIS was going to be included

You can still get TV using a slingbox on the $30 Plan

Use Tomtom with the built-in GPS on the mogul on the $30 Plan

and free push email via exchange on mail2web on the $30 Plan

If you know to max out your $30 plan, then the $20 difference you pay for sprint is basically free out there

If this is true then it would prove the posts about Sprint asking customers with smartphones to leave the SERO plan incorrect.
