Is sero worth it anymore?
So I'm spending around $60 a month for unlimited data with sprint but it seems like metro offers me the same for less. I suppose I could switch to the new sero but is it really worth it?
Thanks all.
trade : sprint note 4 for nexus 6
I bought the note 4 and don't like it so i wanna trade it for a nexus 6. My phone is mint and comes with 4 screen protectors, case, box and all accessories.
Please message me if you're interested.
Not looking to sell, just trade.
Thanks!
Re: I wonder...
Absolutely nothing.
PCD mainly facilitates "middle-man" operations (distribution, engineering and warranty service). PCD doesn't set prices for phones or develop them, they just handle life-cycle issues with phones once the phone is designed by the manufacturer and agreed to be bought by the carrier.

Re: If you cant navigate internet explorer..
I think it's an issue with a sales person who doesn't properly qualify a customers' needs. If the guy is coming in for a basic phone and you sell him a brand new Droid, you're doing everyone a disservice, including the customer.
Re: thanks big brother
My point exactly.
By the way, the constitution doesn't say one word of privacy, it says that the government can't search or seize property without consent or a court order.
Meanwhile, thanks to the USAPATRIOTACT it all but got rid of that pesky amendment....

That's the type of thinking that lets the government create things like the TSA where I godda let some guy cup my balls, meanwhile someone sticks some C4 up his booty and blows up a plane.
This isn't about safety, it's about tyranny. Also, now that I know about this, if I'm going to be some kinda dirt bag that's going around snatching up people for some devious reasons, ...

Re: Best Buy Mobile
I worked for Best Buy for about 6 months as part of the Geek Squad and hated working there.
I would recommend against working there because you don't make comission. Unless you're happy with earning 7 bucks an hour and that's it, you'd be better off working at an independant agent and making commission.
Re: Hint
We already figured that one out....
I get it already....
Yes, I'm cheap, I already said I was and I also understand that the new SERO plan is discounted.
Fine, you made your point but that still isn't going to make me stop asking my question.
If anyone has some helpful input besides "stop being cheap and just get the plan", I'd like to hear your input to everyone else, thanks, but you're wasting your time here. I could care less about your oppinions about what you think I should be ...
Re: Duh
Correct, $50 a month isn't double of $30 a month, but $50 a month plus a $10 a month premium data charge is, as stated in my previous post.
I'm not greedy, I'm broke.
If I was making oddles of money, maybe it wouldn't be an issue but I don't, so I can't afford $60 a month+ taxes and fees for a phone.
Re: Sack up.

get it before the 30th and your fine.
No, because I want an Android device so they're going to hit me up with that anyway. I'm looking to keep my current plan but with an Android device.
famoussasjohn said:
You're* :X
I have no idea what that means.
Re: Sack up.
I could get the new SERO plan but it would be double the price I'm paying because they require another $10 per month for the premium data charge for android (and soon all smart) phones.
Best option for SERO switch
I got the $30/500 minute SERO plan and want to get the new Evo Shift but the best that retentions could offer me is a $150 credit on top of the normal discount for a phone but I'd have to get a consumer plan.
Anyone know if there's better deals out there? I bought the Samsung Intercept for Virgin Mobile but didn't switch yet and would like to stay with Sprint but it's getting kinda hard.
With taxes and feed, I'd ...
Re: This is Awesome!!
You didn't read it corectly. The money you get back is a percent of the purchase price, not the retail value. Lets say that the Buyback costs $50, and you get an Evo, You'd get 50% of $200 between 1 and 6 months, so you're paying Best Buy $150 to "rent" a Evo for up to 6 months.
It's a horrible deal.
Seriously, re-read the story, they say of the purchase price.
SOMEONE understands the question properly!
Yes, that's what I was asking. I assumed you people understood, but I guess not.
Kinda sucks that you'd lose a ton of rollover if you switched to unlimited, then switched back because it wasn't for you.
Is there a way to get the minutes back? Like if you switched plans for a few hours then had "buyers remourse" over the switch.
Re: Sprint Employee plan after quit?
Way I understand it when I was speaking to some reps is that if you leave Sprint, they offer you the option of switching to a SERO line, you're not going to get to keep your free phone.
Then again, if a manager fails to tell HR to pull the plug, you might be able to get away with it. It depends on the terms you leave.
Question about rollover minutes
Alright, lets say someone has 5000 rollover minutes with AT&T and they switch to an unlimited plan, what happens to the rollover minutes? Do they get lost?
I know if you downgrade your plan, you cn only keep a maximum amount of minutes that your plan has per months (such as if you have 5K rollover minutes, and you go to a 400 minute plan, you'll then lose 4500 minutes).
Anyone got any info?
The phone DOES have a mass storage mode!
On the phone, go to Menu > Settings and Tools > Tools > USB Mass Storage. Please correct the artical.
Re: Undesirable
Closest I've seen is with Verizon where they require a 1K deposit. Usually at that point I'd sell 'em on Sprint, where they would get a $150 deposit.
It's not saying no, but it's making it very fincially unpractical go to with Verizon.
Re: It should work both ways...
Bro, if you seriously think Sprint is losing money on their plans, then you need to go back to school.
Buisness 101. If you sell a product for less then you buy it for, you're going out of buisness pretty quickly.
You honestly think that Sprint getting every subscriber for between $50 and $100 between voice and data are losing money? Sure, if you believe that, I got a bridge I wanna sell ya....

Re: Transfer of liability with SERO
iljaaf21 said:
I work for another carrier, so I'm not sure if this would work for you, but my suggestion would be to ask if they can switch the plan (still under your name) to a consumer (retail) account. Then try the ToL.
They can do that, but the point was switching the plan over to someoen else.
Apparently it can't be done. I spoke to a guy on sprint.com, he said it COULD be done but said I'd have to go ...
Transfer of liability with SERO
I tried to do a transfer of liability to someone else for one of my SERO lines. The guy got an account set up, so I called Sprint, did a 3 way call and once I verified with them and told them what's up, they let me drop off, so i thought everything was kosher.
So I get an e-mail from the guy that I was trying to transfer to, and he says that they can't do it, and wanted ...
Re: if someone's dead
Would never happen. The whole point of stealing someones idenentiy is so you can make money off it directly or indirectly.
The only exemption is someone trying to hide from their past life, but I don't think they'll be that careful, just stay clean enough to stay out of jail, and that's about it.
Good question tho.
Re: group text..
Use your brain. I can send a group text no problem.
Simply create a new contact with a bunch of phone numbers in it. Problem solved.
Welcome to America....
It's the same way with your car. If you buy a new car, you have to pay sales tax on it, then you have to pay a registration fee.
Ever wonder why you need to "renew" your registration every year or 2? It's more or less a property tax, but for your car. Think about it, if your car is registered once, and the driver never changes with it, why does it have to be "renewed".
Welcome to America, bend over, ...

Dumb idea in my oppinion tho.
Re: You make a good point....
I like the idea that "the customer is never wrong"...they're just mistaken. That way, they can be incorrect, but it's not their fault, it's due to a simple misunderstanding.
He saves face, and you correct him by calling him stupid. Win win! :D
Just for clarification, Sprint DOES have SIM cards....
I got a Touch Pro2, and it has a Sprint branded SIM card in it. Can't be used here in the US, but it has a Sprint SIM card in it.

Re: AT&T reps, quick question about giving out info.
Fallow up - I spoke to someone at corporate, and the rep that I delt with has since been let go. They're going to fallow up on his supervisor about the issue and possibly do retraining.
Re: AT&T reps, quick question about giving out info.
But you're able to transfer to them, right?
Re: AT&T reps, quick question about giving out info.
I understand but I wasn't trying to file a complaint. I don't even have service with AT&T. I needed to get in contact with them, because I wanted to know how file a subpoena to get information about a subscriber that I'm trying to sue.
Unless you guys know of a better way.
The rep kept me on the phone for 50 minutes after I explained what the issue was, then he just kept on giving me BS answer after BS ...
Re: AT&T reps, quick question about giving out info.
Thanks for the reply.
This guy from India or the Philippines apparently didn't think so. You'd think that the legal department would sue him if he gave out the number. The guy was using every excuse under the sun not to give it to me.
First he couldn't find it, then he could find it but only lawyers could speak to them, then he could transfer me to them but I couldn't know the number and a few other excuses that ...

Classic example why AT&T customer serivce is in the toilet.
I'd appreciate another, more legit responce to the question above.
AT&T reps, quick question about giving out info.
Simple question. A guy calls in needing the phone number to AT&Ts legal department. Can you give it out?
If not, why?
Fallow up question. How hard is it to find the information?

Re: loyalty
+1 Everyone thinks they have job security untill they get fired.
Unless you live ina "right to work state", they could come up to you and fire you for any reason, or no reason.
Trust me when I say, they don't care about you. Bail out man. If the numbers work out for you, do it.
Plus, if you get fired from the other job, Obama just extended unemployment benifits, so you're set either way! :D
