Ok so today being the day sprint launched their touch pro 2 I decided I wanted to use my upgrade to buy it. I bought a mogul 2 years ago and my contract is ending.

My adventure today was crazy, I went to two sprint stores and then called sprint corporate twice.

First store I went to was a normal sprint store and I asked to upgrade my phone, they said I needed to go a "sprint corprate store". There was one close by and I drove there they told me they cant upgrade SERO plans from the store and I would have to call it in.

So while in the store I call the sprint number and I get this girl and I tell here I want the Touch Pro 2 she is like ok are you buying a line or are you an existing customer. I gave her my plan details and she was like O you have a sero plan this phone dose not qualify for this plan. I was like WTF do you mean this plan does not qualify for a Touch Pro 2 I have a mogul now and it the same thing just slower. She said I needed to add on a premium data plan to my existing SERO plan that already has unlimited data. I told her I worked for best buy and I could get he version version from not only 150 less but $40 a month cheaper then the 50 she wanted to add on top of my current plan. She put me on hold and came back any told me the same thing that I had to upgrade to the "simply everything plan" the new SERO plan. I said no that not happening good by you have just lost a customer.

Phone call 2

I call again and get this guy he says how can I help you I say I have a SERO plan and I want to upgrade my phone. He says ok you can as long as you not upgrading to the palm pre and 2 other black berrys. I said no I want the touch pro 2, he said great I can get you that phone. He adds it onto my plan and sends me the phone NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

I currently have an order number and its been shipped the sku for the order number is a touch pro 2 not a touch pro trust me I checked.

DO NOT LET SPRINT CON YOU OUT OF YOUR SERO PLAN ITS ALL BULL ****.

You can keep your plan.

Some systems can't access employee referral lines. If the store has one of these systems, call the sero number and let them walk the employee through the upgrade Or they can do a manual contract.

You've never been able to do ANYTHING SERO RELATED except through Telesales.

Never ever not ever and not even a little bit.

This is not news.

I extended my $30 SERO for two years and got the Touch Pro 2 without any issue, via online chat. Everything looks good in my account info.

I ordered the upgrade online last night (www.sprint.com/everythingplus), arriving today via Next Day Air shipping. There is a separate rebate form for SERO/Everything Plus plans, but the rebate is still $100.

I avoid dealing with live folks at Sprint whenever possible.

I am on the SERO $30 plan.

TP2 and Sprint

Hmm the only thing I believe Sero customers don't get is the $100 mail-in rebate.
I was worried too. But I found this number 1-888-503-3078. They picked up right away and I had no issues. Try it.
Oh and i got the $100 rebate + the $150 off.

Total was about $430 ($350 phone + $80 tax and shipping)

Yea I did mine over the phone, called 1-888-882-4030. I would advise against calling this number to update your phone if you are eligible. Some of the reps might try to eff you over.
