Re: right
My SERO plan came with all the "freebies" you mentioned, I didn't have to bug Sprint one bit.
www.sprint.com/sero - just use savings@sprintemi.com for the email to "shop now"
Again, "not available to general public" is just a myth. If you are a deal seeker, there are deals to be had.
Just like the $10 AT&T DSL package that's unadvertised, just because it's not posted on every street corner doesn't mean it's not a deal.
$60/month for the services described in my opinion is a do-able deal, but as I pointed out a real deal seeker can do better - much better - and it proves AT&T really isn't doing any favors here. Now throw in 3mbit DSL & data on that phone and perhaps its more tempting, but still not what I have. |

said by Jerm  :This *is* comparing "apples to apples". I don't have CATV. Never have. (use DTV, a whole 'nuther story) And SERO - well anyone can get it if they know what they are doing. Sure, there are ways to get SERO. You can also get other freebies from Sprint such as unlimited text and data usage if you can and harass the customer service reps enough. But that is not the quoted retail price of the package available to the general public.
My neighbor pays $60/month for Comcast internet without Cable TV. Comcast "forgot" to install a filter on his line so he receives basic cable for free. This does not mean that anyone can get cable & internet for $60 "if they know what they are doing."
I know that when I called Comcast to downgrade my package, they gave me 6 months of HBO for free as a way to keep me from downgrading. After the 6 months, they forgot to turn off HBO or start billing me for it. However, this is not the norm and not a fair comparison. |

People these days just don't know how to find a good deal. With Charter I simply told them Verizon DSL was $29 a month and they'd have to match to keep me as a customer.
With Sprint Sero, well fatwallet is your friend. I take advantage of deals anyone can find if they know where to look, just most people don't take the time. |
