sorry to make another thread on the issue if someone can show me where to find the anwser that would be great, i know we have gone over it before, i jsut didnt have a phone for it to matter on before lol..
im on an A900 for now, will be an A940 by the weekend... when i go to the area that has all the sprint content on it, some of it will play and some will ask me if i want to preview or buy... what can i buy and not get charged for because it is included in SERO?
is there a way to block all otehr content that is not included in my plan?
again, sorry for askin the question again i could not find the anwser for the life of me.

thanks but doesnt tell me anything, im wondering what package it is... even if it is the basic package, does that mean i just get the stuff that is already unlocked on my phone or can i "buy" more channels and not be charged extra for it...

Now, here's what I believe to be true... it is possible, but not guaranteed, to get the Plus package. I have a friend on SERO, and she claims she gets Plus for free. However, if you want to add additional channels, you will be charged for them. That much I would say I know for sure.
I think it all depends on luck, if you ask me. Every rep has a different story for everything on Sprint.

it is equivalent to the $25 powervision package that is offered for non sero users.

I too would like to know for sure before my SERO plan kicks in next month and I go crazy and get all of these charges because I thought it was the Ultimate Package.

This may not be correct...SERO is not the same as PV Ultimate...Sero is basic EVDO access with pics/video...it does not include premium content other than the ABC news channel and the Sirius Hits channel...everything else is likely extra...I know several people on SERO and this is what they got...there may be some who got extras, but I doubt this is the norm from what I've seen...

^ 'Tis what I thought... Which sounds most like Plus to me. I'm sure you can weasle your way into Ultimate somehow, if you have a horseshoe shoved up your you-know-what, but I'm not really an advocate for that kinda thing.
Also, to kulnet, you won't get surprise charges because anything outside of whatever plan you get will require you to manually purchase it. So if you wanted some lame channel like Comedy Central (all of the channels, minus Sprint TV Live, are lame IMO), it's not like you could just start watching it and then be bombarded with charges. It would ask you to buy it.
Edit: Lastly, the difference between Ultimate and Plus isn't worth anything.

so then another question, is the content that is allowed by your plan already unlocked? or do you have to "buy" it the first time to unlock it?

Heres the deal guys
If you have a regular vision phone you get the lowest vision pack which includes picture mail and video mail and the sirius radio
if you have power vision same thing, you get lowest pack plus picture mail and video mail
They just have to change the codes if you change from one type of phone on your sero to another.
But sero included either power vision with picture or reg vision with picture
