I was looking at the SERO threads and I think I understand what SERO plans are and I wanted to give it a try at trying to get SERO on my account. But before I do that, I wanted to get your comments on it.
Current My bill is $120.
Family Plan - 550 Day Time Minutes, Unlimited Night and Weekend, Nights start at 7PM(FREE) - $60 (10% off from my old company)
2 - Sanyo 8300 (Still has 1 Year contract left )
1 - Samsung A900M (Recently added the line, has more than a year and half left)($5 a month)
- 500 Text Messages ( Free )
- Unlimited Data Plan ( Free )
Wireless High speed Internet from Sprint for my laptop - $60
Do you suggest I try for SERO as I am trying to reduce my bill. Do you think I will still be able to get the perks?
If I completely misunderstood SERO, please feel free to correct me.
Thanks

What's the "Wireless Highspeed Internet from Sprint - $60"? Is that for the card for the laptop?
It seems like you currently hae 3 phones on the plan? Normally the SERO is best for individual accounts. If you are paying $60 for three lines, it seems good to me.

Yeah - its the card for the laptop.
Oh, I thought it could be for a family plan. I knew I misunderstood the SERO plan.

I think they have a family plan of sorts, however it's NOT going to save money, the prices I saw are basically the SAME as getting multiple Sero accounts. :)

You somewhat only genuinely save on SERO if you have a single line, maybe two.
Because the AAP are only like $10/20 per line, you somewhat save on each additional line you add.

Your SERO plan would be
Line one, 500 min, 30.00
Line two, 500 min. 30.00
Line 3 (laptop card) 50.00
So it would be 110+tax, not much savings, if any. I would wait until your contract is up, then see if retentions can get you a better deal.

He would save money...currently he's getting 550 SHARED minutes, he'd be paying $10 less for 500 minutes/line for a total of 1000 minutes. UNLESS he's satisfied with 550 shared minutes

He would lose text messages unless he can talk Sprint into giving them to him in either a one year or two year duration. Is Sero currently 7PM or 8PM? Plus he would gain mobile to mobile which is still my favorite Sprint feature of all! :)

How do you figure? He's currently paying $60 for three lines (which in itself is a good deal). If he goes to SERO on each line, it's $90 totalling.
As for text, you can EASILY get that from CS.
Also as mentioned, just use the A900 for wiress ;) . Just be sure to bring the charger with you.

But he's on a 550 family shared plan....thats 550 minutes BETWEEN 3 lines right? If he needs more minutes...then yea, he'll save TONS of money by goin on SERO...but if 550 for 3 lines works out fine, then he's good to go. Thats why I said if the 550 is working fine for him, then theres no way he should switch.

Where's the money saving??? He's paying $30 MORE for more minutes.

I thought maybe he was wanting to switch cause he was going over his minutes or something. And he has 3 lines?...wait....im confused...i thought he had 2....nevermind. Either way....DITCH the connection card, and get a data cable for your A900, that'll save you $60/month lol

You can probably talk to Retention into getting more minutes for cheap. The guy offered to upgrade my current 750 to 1400 for a mere $9 more per month. I opted not to get it, because as mentioned, we only use about 4-500 minutes per month.
Now that I come to think of it, perhaps we should have gotten it. Then just add a couple of my relatives to the Family Plan.
