Sprint SERO: An Alternative To Verizon’s New $30 Data Plan
Posted on 14 April 2008, at 6:08 pm, by Wayne Schulz
Sorry for the repost, but I see Verizon news is breaking regarding their $30 add-on data plan. If you’re not in contract with Verizon and you need a data plan for your smart phone, you might consider a Sprint SERO plan (yeah, yeah I know everyone hate’s Sprint). These sales gimmicks designed to attract new subscribers plans (SERO stands for Sprint Exclusive Referral Offer) are available to those who figure out that savings@sprintemi.com works as an email have been referred by a Sprint employee. These Sprint plans are considered great values because they include: Voice, unlimited SMS, unlimited MMS, unlimited EVDO Data (all extra charges with Verizon). The plan that I’m on is $30 per month and I get 500 minutes, 6pm Nights & Weekends, Unlimited Mobile to Mobile and also can text, picturemail and use as much EVDO data as I want – those pricey extras are all included in the SERO plan – which make it a plan to consider.

I will start the ball rolling….sprint sucks.
They work well in my area and the data plans are speedy (faster than Verizon) so if you’re in a good coverage area give them a try.
Also if you sign up, work the system for all it’s worth…the first 30 days is your “remorse” period when you can return the phone. You’ll have the opportunity to email eCare and beg for free stuff.
I received 6pm NW.
PS – I recommend you purchase their monthly TEP – Total Equipment Protection – because without it if your phone breaks you have to send it out for warranty. Unlike other carriers Sprint does not fix it outside the 30 day initial period….

I’m on the same SERO plan as the one you mentioned in your post, and it’s the *only* reason I’m staying with Sprint. I’ve had no reception problems, and no hardware or software problems with my 6 month-old HTC Touch, so for me, $30 per month is unbeatable (and believe me, I did the research before making my decision).

I’ve had the same $30/month deal as you fellas since Jan 2008. Now my social life has changed and I need more minutes. I don’t see anyway to up my plan to 1250 for $50/month on sprint.com. Any suggestions? I don’t want to change anything else-love those free text messages and NW at 7

Unfortunately I think that Sprint have done away with the old SERO plans — so you’re probably ok to stay on what you have – but moving to a bigger plan under the old SERO pricing is going to difficult if not impossible.
