R.I.P. – Sprint SERO Plans – new (higher priced) plans renamed Everything Plus Referral Program
Posted on 11 July 2008, at 7:15 pm, by Wayne Schulz
As previously reported, the old Sprint Exclusive Referral Offer site has now been converted to the Everything Plus Referral Program. To join the program you now must submit both an employee email address and the last three digits of a Sprint employee ID (CID). Sprint SERO had been a legendary low cost program with an entry level rate of $30 that included 500 voice minutes and unlimited SMS, MMS and EVDO Rev A data (even for smartphones). Part of the SERO gimmick was that you needed to be referred by a Sprint employee — except the old SERO site used to take almost any address ending in @Sprintemi.com. The new site tightens up eligibility by requiring both a valid referring Sprint employee email and the last 3 digits of the referring employee number. The new higher rates top out as follows:
Everything Plus 500 — 500 Minutes, EVDO, SMS, MMS, GPS Nav – $ 59.99
Everything Plus 1000 — 1,000 Minutes,EVDO, SMS, MMS, GPS Nav – $ 79.99
Simply Everything (Unlimited) — Unlimited voice ,EVDO, SMS, MMS, GPS Nav – $ 99.99

While is ti sad to see the SERO as we knew it go, I have some good news. Excluding the Simply Everything (Unlimited) Plan, an organizations called Comanity can offer a 15% discount for Sprint Services. How this works it that part of the money made over accounts signed goes to a nonprofit such as George Wythe College (see http://www.comanity.com for other nonprofits). The reason I mention George Wythe College is because not only am I a student there, but I can also pass that discount on to others because I am a student there. So while it isn’t the $30 for 500 Minutes and unlimited everything else, it is $50.99 for the same deal which is a hell of a lot cheaper with great service then any other cell provider can give without quality or coverage.

Sorry about the last part, I mean to say without sacrificing quality or coverage.
