I have the SERO plan as well and have been stuck with the MotoQ for years. I was wondering if you could buy a pda off ebay or something and activate it on Sprint’s website w/out upgrading your plan?

NOT TRUE…I just called Sprint Sero employee customer service…You CAN keep SERO and get a blackberry, treo, etc
You just cannot get the instict, Android, Pre, or pixie.
Of course you have to add the blackberry plan to SERO if you want a blackberry…which is 10.00

I just had to stop and take the time to defend everything you are saying. I am a long term sprint customer who has been abused over the years by this company. I wish I had back the HOURS of my life I spent dealing with sprint customer service reps who always assure me whatever problem I have is taken care of, only to call back the next day to find out I need to fix it all over again. I have the sprint sero plan and I say I deserve it for the poor service I get all the time. I was told first hand by a sprint customer service rep when my phone broke and I was going to purchase a new one, that I would have to switch my service to a minimum of 69.99 a month to get any pda style phone. Of course I didn’t because I refuse to pay that much. For all the people saying we are ripping off Sprint I say phooey! The prices of these plans are absolutely ridiculous. This is the only plan that we are getting what we pay for. Oh, and trust me Sprint makes back it’s money. How about the scam of an insurance program they have. You can only put insurance on the phone when you first activate it. You continue to pay each month and then are still forced to pay $50 for a new phone anyway. (BTW, heads up for the guys…don’t put your phone in your pocket on hot days…if you sweat a little it sets off a litmus strip to say your phone has water damage and then they won’t even give you a new phone for $50) Summing up…I would switch in a heartbeat to any other company but that sero plan keeps around. I take advantage of it and are proud of it!!!!!!

I will switch to verizon right away if sprint cancell my SERO plan. The only reason I stay with this carrier is because of this cheap ZERO data plan. BTW, Verizon has better reception too!

Don the 2nd is almost echoing my feelings, I think it would be dumb to disallow smartphones with SERO but I do think those plans were too good to be that cheap, an equivalent plan on Sprint or any other carrier would be up to 2 1/2 times more. The few that have it will still be getting over

Those people that say that people with Sero plan aren’t savvy you must be living in your little world. The unsavvy people are those who are willing to pay an arm and leg for services that sprint is clearly offering at a different better price. You just have to work differently to get. So for those who want to pay sprint hundreds of dollars for a service they can get cheaper than go ahead. I’ll be more than happy to get the Sero plan myself and use the savings for Gas.
