Holy crap. Now the real question: Can I switch over my plan to this without paying a ETF?

Would be nice to have this. I would only save 15 or so a month, but right now I can use all the money I can get.

I'm so flipping confused after reading that...

Can someone with some experience working with these accounts chime in? I understand using the guy's email and CID, but how would this play in for those of us who have been with Sprint forever, have family plans, and still have time on their contract?

It's a referral plan, meaning it's for people that are currently NOT a Sprint customer and are being referred to Sprint by an employee. If you are currently a Sprint customer, you would have to cancel your current account and pay an ETF if you are still in contract.

Thanks...I'm "chatting" with spring right now. If you want to consider waiting five minutes between responses chatting. I'll post my results here to confirm.

I won't bore you with the useless information he gave me at the beginning:

15:37:50 : HIM: Is there anything else I may assist you with?

 15:38:18 : ME: So what I'm getting is doing the ESRP creates an entirely different account

 15:38:22 : ME: right?

 15:39:41 : ME: sorry, EPRP

 15:39:56 : HIM: Yes, you are correct.

 15:40:13 : ME: so how could I, or would I, be able to get the remaining lines of my account onto it?

 15:40:33 : ME: would there be an ETF or would a transfer of liability work?

 15:40:53 : ME: this is provided I opened a new line also

 15:43:26 : HIM: I am sorry the lines can not be transfer from the existing account to new referral account which you are going to open.

 15:45:09 : ME: OK, just one more question then. So say, in the future, my contracts are expired. I have no obligation to Sprint. I open an EPRP providing the program is still around. Would I be able to open a new account with an old phone number?

 15:46:31 : HIM: Ok, One moment.

 15:50:36 : HIM: I am sorry you can not open the new account with the old phone number, however when you will open the new account the system will automatically generate the new phone number for you.

 15:51:18 : ME: Ok, I guess that covers all of my questions. Thanks for dealing with me =).

 15:51:36 : HIM: You are welcome.

I'm not completely satisfied with these answers; however, I was reading on the other forum of people getting a Transfer of Liability to work to get their lines over. I may just stop by the Sprint Store on my way home from work tomorrow.

Good luck with that! I am sure you could find someone that would do it for you if you talk to the right person. It saved us a lot of money, and made it very worth it to switch to from verizon.

From my experience, I signed up fro SERO about 3 years ago, when the plans were basically unlimited except for the 500 anytime minutes and it was $30 a month. I was already Sprint customer, out of contract. In order to get a SERO account, I had to open up a brand new line, I was not able to transfer my old number over either. So I got a new line, new number, and just closed my old account. Been happy with it ever since. When the EVO came out, I had to upgrade my plan to an EREP plan, which increased it almost double. Thankfully, a couple months ago, they came out with a SERO Premium plan that would work with the Android phones and it was only $40 a month (plus $10 premium data charge). It was only available if you previously had one of the old $30 SERO plans. Well, that's my story.

Did you re-convert your eprp back to the sero premium? If so, when and how?

Yes I did. I just called them up and no questions asked, they saw that I previously had SERO and switched it to SERO premium.

 

[IMiLL102911]

Yea I'm also on the sero premium. I will never switch to another carrier as long as I have my sero premium. and i'm surprised people didn't know about the new sero aka eprp. I was expecting the op to get flamed for old news. lol.

 

[indagroove]

I've been on sero for years now, and it's pretty great. The only thing that drives me nuts now is that virgin mobile is an even better deal than sero, without a contact.

 

[DirtyShroomz]

Existing customers can't switch. I've put my info all over these boards for new customers to use.

Ahh I was hoping existing customers could switch.

actually there is a way to get around the ETF/etc..

go to the site & apply for a new line undere the everything plus plan (make sure to pick a free phone unless you wanna pay out of the pocket).
after the order is approved/goes through, call customer service & have them pull your existing line(s) under the new everything plus account you just started...

now you have 30 days to decide if you want to keep this extra line you just purchased. if you decide to cancel like i did, your remaining lines will still be on the everything plus plan.

one word of warning, i will be losing my premier gold status as of april 01 due to this move. despite my previous lines being open with sprint for 10+ years, the new everything plus account basically starts new so they will only recognize my time w/sprint as being since i moved my lines over to the new account. (they do acknowledge the fact that they see in their system the same line/number has been open for 10+ years, but i haven't found a rep yet who will mark it on my "new" account)..

i generally prefer to stay out of contract anyway so it's not a huge deal to me.

Another point to note. From my experience, they will not let you apply any kind of company or student discounts on top of EPRP. In my case, it turns out to be cheaper to get the normal plan with the company discount.

This is correct.
