SERO is done for, there is no way they can afford to give away the farm like they have been. Expect a change in the way they give it out. I doubt they will be kicking existing customers off the plan, but you can be sure its going to get really hard to get a SERO plan in the near future.
it has been for a few months now they have cleaned up the employee email list and employees get a notification when you use their email if they click that they didnt allow it, you receive your phone with a retail price plan
As for SERO, you are correct, there is no more. However, my contract expired on July 24th at midnight, I called the retention line directly on July 25th, mid afternoon and was given a plan very similar to the "Everything Plan" for $40.00/mo.(Sprint limited my text messaging to 1000 a month, which I don't text message anyway, so that was a moot point. They also limited my non mobile to mobile minutes to 1000 minutes a month up from 550 minutes from being on the contract. Before my contract ran out, I was getting cell phone service ONLY, 550 non mobile to mobile for $60.00/mo. Retention does work, especially if you have been with Sprint for a while and been an on time paying customer.
The one con: I can't find a phone with TV, radio, text, etc that I like. Hopefully the new HTC Diamond due out September 2, 2008 will fill the bill?
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
