Deal Details
Last Edited by jupiterman April 6, 2019 at 02:05 PM
Update: The premium plan is now $45 before autopay discount, but no longer includes Uber credits. For those that don't use Uber, but pay for Amazon Prime, that now makes this plan the best deal.
Update: You can dial *2 from your Sprint phone to have your account converted. https://community.sprin

I didn't want to edit the OP but if the OP wanted to edit to have this link.. that would be great.

Note: Sprint stated they were in the process of of migrating all SERO accounts to SWAC, so you can either initiate the move yourself if you wish, or wait until they eventually get to your account.
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.

It appears we're still not able to upgrade at third party retailers like Best Buy though.

I've never seen a Sprint employee email but what people are posting here and the links to the Sprint site are generally accurate. You can upgrade your phone with SERO or SWAC and do it through the upgrade function of the site or through telesales. Or keep your current phone. There is no benefit related to the phone you use or renewing the contract, as of now.
It's up to you if you want to switch plans, there isn't a whole lot of difference besides perks, but it's as simple as filling out the online request, picking which of the two plans you want, getting a confirmation (that might not sound like they put you on the right plan but they will), and then you'll get texts inviting you to sign up to the perks, and on your next bill, it will just take effect.
No contract extension, no phone purchase requirement.
Phone promotions will be the same as current under SERO as far as I can tell. You can do it online but it has to be through Sprint.

I had looked into upgrade my phone before while on the same SERO plan I'm on now, but the site "forces" me to choose a new plan. The employee services email response I received said that when I upgrade next, I will have to choose a new plan and its not an error.
I actually just did it for the free phone. After getting the new line I then cancelled the line I signed up for with sero converted to swac. I still have a swac account with one line but sprint "thinks" it's a new line and gave me new line promos on it vs upgrade promos. Thanks sprint!

Given all the extra perks for less money ($40 includes Amazon Prime, Hulu, Tidal Hifi, wifi hotspot; only $30 if you don't need Prime and are okay with non-Hifi Tidal), SWAC has been a worthy SERO replacement.
Possibly, but this plan is worth it. I doubt you'll find a better deal for awhile if at all.

She converted 2 lines to $40 SWAC & leased two iPhone 11's for only $15/month more than SERO. Plus Amazon Prime, Hulu etc is added value.
SERO data is truly high-speed & unlimited, but no hotspot. 50/100gb hotspot on SWAC is worth it to my friend - trade off is occasional deprioritization (rarely happens in my experience). SERO has more domestic data roaming. SWAC has unlimited talk/text & 10GB or unlimited data in Canada & Mexico depending on which level you choose.
The entire process was very quick. She filled out the conversion request on a Thursday and heard back from the conversion team by that night. They converted the plan, but it wasn't effective til the following Tuesday (her billing date). She ordered leased phones on Friday and they arrived on Monday (with upgraded shipping). Plan changed on Tuesday and she activated phones with no issues
When you order the new phones, ignore the message that warns about needing to change your plan upon activation. I saw that mentioned I think on this thread and they were correct. You can still order the phones even with that error message.
