A. Sero is for Sprint employees, friends and families etc, so you can't really compare it to a consumer plan. Because if consumer plans were comparable then there would be no need for SERO plans.

You are paying for a Nextel device 29.99 to begin with 10.00 for web/gps navigation and another 30.00 for the 500.00 anytime minutes.

This only proves my point further. Since Sprint does have business only plans already, they could have crafted them much differently than the others.
