Something doesn't look right... First of all, this would have leaked on SU by now, and I haven't seen anything there about these new plans. Quite contrary, some people have reported new plans coming out in November being pretty much the same as current plans but with new names. Finally, looking at the flyer attached, why would a plan with 700 minutes and no data cost the same as a plan with data and double the minutes? It just doesn't make sense. I think it's either photoshopped, or there is a typo in the flyer. For now, I call BS on these new plans because they look too good to be true, but I sure would love to be proven wrong.

Better said than me

The attachment got me all excited too. Your right though. Seems too good to be true

Yeah, IMO this is a lot better than the old SERO 500 plans if you need more than one line. 250 additional anytime minutes in addition to the BB data plan. Probably look into this come next weekend.

This is amazing. Looking forward to switch over to the 1500 plan. Hope I will continue to get my corporate discount though.

Stupid question -- Does the $69 'everything' family plan include unlimited GPS navigation/Sprint TV/Music?

If so, it would be better than the two $30 SERO (unl msg/data/7pm N&W/500min ea) plans I have for me and my wife.

Yep... below the plan it says unlimited data includes everything listed below in data pack list below. Wow this is such a good deal

crap...this looks like a good competitor to SERO if you're going to do a family plan..

Thank you OP this is great news!

**WhatsYoFlava** · 10-26-2008, 07:24 PM

I am pretty sure this plan will be eligible for monthly discounts too.... Something SERO isn't compatible with unless you are lucky

**gregpayer** · 10-26-2008, 07:25 PM

Versus two 500min SERO lines it costs $10 more per month - but you get to share an additional 500 minutes.

Versus three 500min SERO lines it costs $10 less per month - with the same number of minutes shared.

My problem with this is that the additional lines are $19.99 rather than $9.99. $9.99 for additional lines would make this really a hot replacement for my SERO plans.

Wow I am going to have to change. I wish there was a way to cancel without an etf. So I can get a new deal.

**SugarNuts** · 10-26-2008, 07:27 PM

Damn, this is way better than the Sero Plan. Damn it, I just called Sprint and added my husband's number to my account. He has a Sprint Account already. I was going to mirror his plan to my plan. I wonder if I could switch my plan with this plan and get new phones for us. Our contract is up in Feb. '09. Any thoughts?
