Reminder – Sprint SERO plans change on 7/13 – higher rates and require a VALID referral

Starting on July 13 the super cheap Sprint SERO plans will rise significantly in price. Instead of being able to get a $30 entry level plan that includes pretty much everything (EVDO Rev A, SMS, MMS, M2M, 7pm NW) plus 500 voice minutes – you’ll have to pay at least $59. This is apparently confirmed by Sprint eCare messages. Also new is a requirement that SERO subscribers supply the last four digits of the referring Sprint employee number. So the widely used “savings@sprintemi.com” probably won’t work as a referral any longer. Looks like SERO just got a lot less popular. If you are thinking about one of these plans — you have until 7/12 to get on board.

“The current SERO plan will expire on July 12, 2008. So, if you wish to apply for a SERO plan, then please log in at www.sprint.com/sero and activate a new phone number with the SERO plan.

After the services has been activated under the SERO plan, you can contact us at 1-888-211-4727 from a landline phone at any point of time so that we can start porting your old number to replace the new Sprint phone number.”

    If you add a person to your Sprint Sero plan, (by buying a new phone) you can preserve your deal. They too can get the same incredible plan. Sprint won't do it as shared minutes, so you'll have to create a NEW individual plan…but it will only cost $30 for basically everything (500 minutes/month).

    You can bump up your minutes to 1250 for $49.95 (which is ridiculously cheap in comparison to everything else out there).

    But you're going to have to talk to customer service. Sometimes they can be a bit subjective…some will give you the deal…and some may not.

    I purposely locked in for another 2 years even though my contract isn't up…just because it may go away.

    Hope this helps,
