Staying with SERO on your GS3 <SPRINT>? - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Anyone able to stay with SERO when they got their Galaxy S3?
Salesman is telling me, no go.

Should be able to, I was able to use the Evo 4G LTE on it before I decided to switch to the S3 instead. I'll know a little later when my phone arrives, but I don't see why that would have changed.
Edit: To clarify, you do already have Sero-P with premium data, right? You definitely won't be able to get it on old Sero.

My GS3 is now active on my Sero-P account, so 100% positive it works.

Were you able to do it online or from the phone? I have SERO-P without the premium data add-on of $10 and it keeps telling me that I need to change my plan

I was able to activate over the phone. you need sero-p + $10. your bill should be around $53 after taxes.

You can do it online too but its easier to just call.

Paid full price for the phone so i could keep my current SERO account. Had no issues so far... Now i just have to wait for the phone.

TEP will be $11, it went up. I'm considering dropping it, or at least the Asurion part. It's at a point where it probably isn't worth it.
You can still get discount pricing and keep Sero-P though.

ya i just switched to esrp which is equipment service and repair with out the asurion and its only $4 a month.

It'll work on Sero-P. I couldnt' upgrade online, I had to call in. You need to call the Sprint Employee Accounts phone# (google it) and it'll go smoothly. If you call the regular line no one knows what sero is.

I was able to do it with SERO-P via online chat pretty easily. It didn't work doing it from the phone or the website.

It was a super-cheap plan that was, if I'm correct, supposed to be for people who were referred by sprint employees. But at one point in time, Sprint allowed almost anyone on. I have it - $30 for 450 minutes, unlimited data and text but no free Sprint navigation or TV - I kept one line for my daughter.
Then, Sprint decided no smartphones on SERO so a lot of people griped and complained. Now, it looks like they are allowing smartphones on SERO after all.
Now I have to see if I can switch back as well. I also want to see if I can still add a line.
SERO Premium just started today for current SERO plan holders
$40 now
500 anytime
Unl. N/W @7

+$10 fee if you want a 4G phone (EVO/EPIC)
**Previous SERO Plan was dumb phone and WinMo friendly
All android plans are required to be on the new plans. the "everything" plans.
This must be a hoax... I wouldn't bother trying to waste time arguing with Sprint...
Edit: I did some snooping around and I stand corrected!

Nope, it's true, but you must already still be an original SERO plan holder to get it.

Going from a SERO plan to an everything plus(whick doubled my bill) was the only thing I didn't like about this phone. I love Sprint never gonna leave them.
Now let's just hope they will put me back on SERO from Everything Plus

Just tried it twice. Both times are got really *****y, irritated CSRs that were getting quite upset that I was asking to get back on the SERO plan.
I had the SERO 500 plan on my Mogul for two years, but since I switched in June and it's been more than 30 days they said they can't even do anything about it.
I'm considering just to keep calling and have them all put notes on my account. Figured I'll wear 'em down eventually.

Quote from sprints website: "SERO Premium rate plans will not be discountable – customers on current SERO plans receiving discounts above and beyond the already discounted SERO rate will lose those discounts when moving to a SERO premium plan. "
You might be able to keep the $20? but the 19% is probably not likely. Unless the rep screws up! Which happened for me when I had my SERO
so, if i was never on a sero account but want it now how do i get it? or am i screwed?

You can't. The only way (if possible) is to buy the plan from someone who is giving it up and they do a TOL (transfer of liability). but I'm not sure Sprint is allowing those anymore.
Even when SERO existed, you couldn't switch from a regular account to a SERO account. You had to be a new customer.
ok so i never had a Sero plan, is there some way that I can switch to a Sero???? I would be happy with the extra saved $$, specially for college!!!
{EDIT} nvm saw the post above. that sucks
I had SERO 500 for years then switched plans when the Evo came out. I called employee services this morning and they switched me back to SERO 500

$299 for Atrix w/ unlimited Data/Messages OR $199 with 2GB cap?

Through a link from my company's website, I was able to place an order for the Atrix with unlimited Data/Messaging for $30 extra on the ATT premiere site. See attached image. However, the price for the phone is $299 as oppose to $199. If I take out the $30 unlimited data/text and replace it with 2gb Datapro, the phone becomes $199. I get an extra $100 off of the phone if I sign up for the 2GB Datapro.
I texts alot, so I opted for the $30 unlimited data/messaging plan. My question is, will this stick? When they ship me the phone, will I have issue activating it???
See picture...
i dont think you will have a problem

Here's how I did it:
1. Go to the premiere website
2. Add a plan first.
3. click on "Add a phone" and choose Atrix
4. When asked for data service add-on, click "skip"
5. When asked for Accessories click "skip"
6. Now it's asking you to add features. Click on the Data/Messaging for $30 and click "add to cart"
If you do this, it'll show the phone priced at $299. If you add a datapro instead, it'll show $199. I couldn't do this on the ATT's regular site, but I was able to do it on the Premiere website. Plus I get 20% discount from my job, so it's $62/month + tax and $343 up front. The extra $100 you pay for the phone is worth it for unlimited data + Messaging.
If you get the datapro, it's $20/month (20% discount) + $10 for 1000 Texts messages.

I went in through the premier website and I got the same thing! You can skip the data plan section and when you get to the text plan section you can actually pick one that says unlimited text and data for $30.
Could AT&T be bringing back unlimited data??? Maybe it's a feature just offered to premier members or it's a glitch. AT&T should offer a plan that has unlimited text, data and mobile to any mobile for $35!

Did you place an order? I was able to place another order for a friend yesterday.
The 2GB datapro cost $20 after 20% discount and $10 for 1000 texts. So basically you're paying an extra $150 (comparing phone price to radio shack) for unlimited data/text for 2 years. I normally use 1400-1500 each month, so $150 extra is worth it.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow if the activation will go through smoothly. I hope it's a glitch, and they'll honor it.

I didn't place an order I just checked to see if I got the same choices you got and it worked.
You ordered another Atrix for your friend...did you do it through your account for the same price as yours? How do you get the 20% discount I only get 15%? :/
I see it as well. The problem is I have an ATT account already, so I dont know if ordering a new plan is the way to go.
Just tried this out and checked with ATT. If you want to keep your unlimited data plan the phone is $299. If you want it for $199 you need to change your data plan away from unlimited.

I think the important thing is also that you can get the unlimited plan this way without having it before. I don't have it now and it lets me add it.

hate to burst your guys bubbles, but that $30 for unlimited text and data is for basic and quick messaging phones, not smart phones. Its not going to stick, you will have to get the $25 for data pro.
ps i work for att. The only way i know of to get unlimited data if you dont have it already is to activate a 2g iphone on your account and then switch to a newer smart phone and then you will be able to keep the unlimited data.

Depends on the company you work for. I work for Xerox, so I get 20%. Xerox has a benefits website, so using the active link through the company I was able to sign up another account. So basically I sign into Xerox, and I go through their link. From what I heard, I can't do it more than once, but this time was able to do it twice using my personal email too. My friend got his order confirmation. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

I would be interested in hearing more about this.
how much would one have to pay for an iphone plan (did you mean to say 2nd generation? or did you mean to say the original iphone without 3g)
I am pretty interested in getting an atrix but no unlimited Internet especially for a larger price than my current plan is a dealbreaker.

Question for Sprint Employees

I was looking at my account today, and realizing that between my wife and I we use VERY FEW minutes altogether.
The overwhelming majority, and I am talking about 90-95% of our calls are either off-peak or mobile to mobile.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for me to go about lowering this bill. We have 1500 minutes, plus all the unlimited stuff Sprint offers.
I want to keep the unlimited Data, but am not terribly concerned about anything else.
Ideas? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated aside from calling me names and questioning my humanity
I'm not a Sprint employee (soon to be one), but I have found that the 1500 minute plan is the cheapest plan that includes the mobile to mobile talk (I looked into this a few weeks back for myself) and found that there's not really any other options. There is no plan less than 1500 minutes that includes data and text.

If you want to keep data, text messages then you are on the best plan for you two. Trust me.
Yup, I'm with the other guys as well. I'm on the exact same plan for that reason, and we don't come close to using 1500 minutes, even though we don't have a landline.

I work for Sprint corporate and I hate to say it, but the $129.99 Shared Everything Data Plan 1500 Minute one is the lowest plan you may have if you have one or more smartphones or one of the 3 Samsung Instinct Series devices on your wireless account with us. If you don't already have an NVP discount on it, you may wish to stop by one of our retail stores to inquire on how you may qualify for one of these discounts.

Yeah, you can get any corporate discount without having to sign a new contract. You should be able to do it through your employer (or where ever you get your discount from) and it will take effect without a new contract.
All else fails...call Sprint and have them work it out.
I've got a Citibank discount of 27% off, but it's only on the main line and my bill is still $178/month on 1500 minute shared. (I have 4 lines total.)

Unlimited data baby!!!!

whos with me ??
Just switched my plan over, 1 2 3
price stayed the same, now I can use 10-15-20 gbs a month! woot
So it stayed at 49.99 a month?
switched over yesterday and i'm spending $30 on the plan in addition to the talk and text i already have. saving $5/month now and i dont even use the wifi tethering
I'm on the value plan so im paying $5 less for going unlimited as opossed to my 5 Gigs of data
When I switched the tmo rep said the offer would only be available for a limited time, even when they discontinue the offer whoever got it will still be truly unlimited. I don't know if he was just trying to get me to upgrade the other lines though. Any who get it why it last!

I hate Telus. I pay 30 bucks for 6 gigs but they could care less if I tether. They even told me they have no way to check lol...I guess that's a plus. Besides I can't dent 6 gigs if I try...I live in so many wifi hotspots I never use data
I called twice to switch to their new really unlimited plan, and they both said "its the same as 5gb (the one I have), but without tethering. You'll pay $5 less, but you'll still get throttled at 5gb"
Obviously he had no idea what I was talking about. I want to switch and I can't do it from the 'my account' app. Any other way to switch? Will I have to go to the store :banghead: ?
Also, did you notice any changes in speed after switching? (even though I think you have to wait for your current data cycle to end to see the changes)

Try again and if he answers again, hang up and keep trying till you get someone else that knows that they are doing

I had a grandfathered in data plan so all of my lines are 20$ a month for 5g throttle .. But I hit that **** every month :thumbdown:
So I switched my line to the unlimited today and yeah it 10 bones more but damn its going to be nice..!!
And i was tethered to my laptop for a good 30 minutes no problems ..
I was on the 5G and the rep told me that this data plan would cost me $20.. but then again that was the four rep i talked to cause none of them knows a thing

It's $20 bucks for value plans, and $30 for Classic plans. I'm on value plan so I was paying $10 for 2g so now I'm paying $10 more for unlimited. I think its a pretty sweet deal

I'm on value plan so I was paying $25 for 5gb so now I'm paying $5 LESS for unlimited.....Now THAT is a sweet deal!:laugh:

[Q] Best Phone T-Mobile's Monthly4G Unlimited $30 Plan w/ Google Voice Free Tethering

Want to get T-Mobile's monthly4G $30 per month Unlimited web & text with 100 min. talk. First 5 GB at up to 4G speed and use google voice to make and receive calls and want to tether it for free to my laptop.
Is this still possible?
Would I need to root my phone?
Will this work better on some phones then others?
What should I look for in a phone and what's the best phone to get for implimenting this plan?
It sounded good until you said free tethering. Because if you visit related forums, you'll see that they've been shutting that down pretty hard, lately. You can pay them for it and it's still pretty cheap - but dunno if it's worth it for just 5Gb.
I have this plan on the Galaxy S3. Because I'm a cheap jerk. Best phone for you is whatever you want and meets your needs.
You'd have to root your phone to try tethering without paying for it - but it's not something I would count on since they are so quick to shut it down.

There's no tethering (plan available) on prepaid AFAIK (legally, anyway )
Sent from somewhere....if I could only remember where....
I'm on the $40 prepaid unlimited talk, text and and data for a work line. I have no issues tethering with my rooted phone for work. I'm running the cm10 hackfest.
I would never pay extra for the tethering. It's my data that I already paid for, I'll do whatever I want with it. Dunno if they throttle after a certain amount but I never go over 3gb

Thank you. Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Walmart. They made me buy a $50 card with it, said it was their policy with the S2 but I also bought a $30 card, cause I just want the $30 plan. He said I had to activate it with the $50 plan to start, but could change it after the first month, but did not force me to activate in the store. So it possible to activate from the start with the $30 plan?
Yeah I don't see why you couldn't activate it with a $30 dollar plan.It pre-paid.

I haven't paid in a couple months since i only get it when i travel to the US for work. I've had this plan for over a year. It is now the $50/month plan, I guess the price has gone up. I'm surprised my "old" plan didn't grandfathered in. I guess i'm switching to the $3/day since i'm only there a week or two at a time.
30$ unlimited is online only. Therefore you need to buy it online unless you get a rep and have sob story to tell them that you didn't know, I'd like the promo, etc/

What carrier is it for
Yeah, this plan is for on-line or WAL-MART purchases. You could try to activate it that way, but I'm not sure it will work.
You cannot switch to this plan (new activations only) so it needs to be from the start.
