Is your Instinct a demo provided by Sprint? Otherwise I wonder if the Instinct is available as an upgrade for current SERO customers. On the SERO website, the Instinct can only be purchased with the $99.99 SE plan. Chris, did you activate the Instinct on a 500 minute SERO plan? Is your Instinct a demo provided by Sprint?

It allowed him to select one of the SERO plans (actually, it only showed two SERO plans, the Everything Plans, and the Talk/Message/Data share plans). The order went all the way through successfully... but I didn't want the phone so I cancelled the order. But I'd thought I'd share that it allowed him to select a SERO plan and the Instinct phone without error.

I imagine it won't be long before there's a hack out there as well. I'm reading a few places that say the Everything Plan won't allow a PAM addition, and then other places say it will. Guess I'll have to put in a call to find out. @Christopher: that’s great to know. I imagine it won’t be long before there’s a hack out there as well.

But, on Instinct... it doesn't really matter, there isn't any PAM bypass yet. Using just Bluetooth and the USB driver, I was able to get right to the point of starting a connection... when I got the typical Error 67, meaning I don't have a PAM plan. In short, if you have a PAM plan, you should still be able to use Instinct as a modem. You just don't have a cute little connection manager to hold your hand doing it.

He also said it's not as easy as just bringing the flyer in once their out of stock either... there are other stipulations, he thinks they check to see if your email address was on the nowisgood promotional email list.

Can't confirm that myself. However, you might want to give it a try. The store I went to had only 15, and eight were called for within the first hour they were open.
