Must be a joke!

HAHAHAHAAHAHA that plan is pathetic in the age of Sero plans from Sprint. I can get 500 minutes 7pm nights and unlimited text and data for that much!

lol verizon is pathetic - I mean they provide excellent coverage but their handicapped phones and extremely high rates are a no go for me. Why they only allow a specified number of email accounts for access makes no sense either if the plan has internet access which one would assume does not block content.

yeah I'm also on sero for 29.99 Sprints great like that.
Despite what everyone says about Sprint going down, they have great cheap rates and excellent evdo coverage. Hopefully Sprint will stay afloat in this current economy.

Good question. I'd like to sign up for Sero if I can receive that rate.

A Sprint phone is less useful than a brick. I travel extensively in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee where Sprint provides nothing at all but roaming rates. Verizon is always there.

A $30 phone is useless if it only works on and around highways.

So how many gigabytes per month is sprints "unlimited" plan and can you tether and use your phone as a modem?

I'm using WMWiFIRouter since I have a MAC and an EVDO Rev. A phone.

My friend tony uses Phone as a Modem but has it pointing to SPRINT PCS. He eats away at data... Also no red flags.

If my area the most I've seen is 1325 down and 550 up.

You don't know what you are talking about. Look at the coverage maps for both. I get emails on my Verizon BlackBerry in places that Sprint has never even heard of. The Sprint Treo that I had was useless. Like a brick in your back pocket useless. Calls and emails just didn't come through. It wasn't the Treo's fault either because nearly the same model worked very, very well on the Verizon network.

Drive around South Western Kentucky and South Eastern Indiana. Tell me that with a BlackBerry from each that the Sprint phone would work (phone AND email both) in half the places that the Verizon phone would. You can't, because it won't.

SERO 2500 is expensive compared to the Unlimited voice, data, text and walkie talkie for $99 per month

Why would anyone want 2500 minutes when you can get unlimited for the same price.

Roaming is free period on sprint. Sprint also partners with VZW and Alltel for roaming. Same coverage maps really. SERO is nothing special anymore unless you want cheap voice rates and not unlimited. But roaming has been free for many years now.

I am seeing the same speeds as well. For $36 a month including taxes it's a bargain.

Because
1. They just recently came out with the "simply everything" plan.
2. They are notoriously slow to update the website.

Look for them to drop and/or modify the 2500 minute plan. I doubt anyone would go that route and if your getting your email address from an employee, they should tell you about the 99.99 unlimited plan vs the 2500 minute plan.

As far as Sprint and unlimited. It has been posted here dozens of times. Sprint doesn't cap you like VZW.. however, no matter how much verizon customers get beat down, they still hum along, paying out the a$$ with a mindset that they have the "best" deal. Guess that's the difference between have's (sprint) and have nots (verizon).

I beg to differ. I've been all over northern, and central Ky with not only Sprint service but data too. Sprint does have roaming agreements with Bluegrass wireless and Altel to name a few so if you don't get a sprint connection, chances are, you will get one of those. Last trip to Glasgow KY took me through Lexington, Bardstown and even visited Bowlingreen and took the family over to Mammoth cave NP. Lost service 200 feet into the cave. But I was roaming when in the park (digital that is). Sometimes your phone can hurt you too. I had 2 phones. Sanyo MM7500 and a Vi2300. Both worked. Now, if you think Verizon is everywhere.. I have perfect service in a place call Clair MI (boy scout camp). While verizon and T-mobile users are running around like chickens looking for service, I'm watching live radar feeds of approaching storms. And to end this little rant, father-in-law travels from Tampa FL to Detroit Mi 5 times a years (taking I-75, sometimes, a few back roads for the scenic value) and says he's never lost service on his LG Fusic phone (sprint). So guess you can say, everyone has a "different" experience.
