Sprint reached out and tells us that the link in the OP is outdated and this one https://community.sprint.com/t5/E...-p/1033393 is the newer, corrected one.
I didn't want to edit the OP but if the OP wanted to edit to have this link.. that would be great.

Here is the dedicated customer service email. [email protected]
When I last used it, they took a full day to reply, but did so personably and thoroughly.

I did this 2 weeks ago, moved from SERO.
I emailed the CEO about converting me to SWAC.
Got an email from sales department 4 days later.

Amazon is awesome since they gave me credit for unused months of my current Prime account.
Hulu is alright, not much to choose in terms of movies.
Tidal is awesome, especially the quality.
Thanks for sharing that the email conversion method still works and congratulations for successfully migrating your plan.

Looks like the Sprint stores still can't handle these accounts. I went to 3 of them to get a sim card for an Iphone X and they wouldn't give me one as my SWAC account was not in their system.
I had to call *2 three times (1-2 hours of reconfirming Imei and activations) to get someone to send me a Sim card and to activate on the SWAC account. After that it's smooth sailing. Smilie

Why do that when you can get the free plan? I converted two years ago. It's still going strong.
What does the free plan convert to after one year? My year is running out in next 2 weeks. I am looking at MintMobile, but do not mind Sprint if price is right.

$50 or 60 plan. Not planning to stick around. I may port out to Mint as well after mine expire in 10 months.

I was added to my nephew's prime account (with others) back when they allowed you to add non-household members and are grandfathered. If he applies the Sprint offer to that account, will it technically cancel his prime and resubscribe thereby kicking us off?

Been trying for 2 months now. They won't change my SERO over to SWAC. Online didn't work. Talked to 3 special CSR that know SERO. They keep saying the person I signed up with on SERO, his CID doesn't work anymore.

Really... 12 years ago, of course that person is gone...

Any other ideas on how to switch over to SWAC from SERO???

What is better about switching to SWAC? Is amazon prime at a reduced price or free? Is there a way to get upgraded phones under the old SERO or the new SWAC? I have had SERO for many years, and I've been considering changing to Google FI but if this can help save money I might switch to SWAC. Who has switched already and what is better? Also what is the dipolarization of data that I saw mentioned? Thanks!

Are there any reasons to stay on the SERO plan without changing it?

Is Amazon extra to the SWAC Plan?

Advantage Unlimited
Unlimited talk & text $ 35.00

Unlimited Premium Add On. $ 10.00

Hulu Limited Commercials (Included with Plan)
$ 0.00

But i don't see amazon prime included in this plan at the final order confirmation page? Do i need to call them to set it up. Initially it showed i need to add 12,99 to my existing bill 45 - 5 autopay + 12.99 to get prime? is this true?

I clicked the link in the original post last night and they converted my plan this morning from SERO500 to the Advantage Unlimited Premium Plan. Not sure how this isn't a great deal for $40, ha.
