Is it possible to obtain Sprint's regular $10/month Vision unlimited data
plan after purchasing their $30/month SERO plan? No options for Vision are
present when selecting the plan.

Thanks,

Ah, nevermind -- it seems that the $10/month data and $10/month messanging
plans are already included in the $30/month rate. Almost seems too good to
be true...

Thanks,

Yeah, it's included in the $30/month rate. It's listed there in the plan

Unlimited Picture Mail (with compatible devices)

when you go to phone details on your account and then click on current usage
does it say unlimited data too?
mine only say unlimited 7 to 7 , unlimited mobile to mobile and unlimited
text but it does not say anything about data , how about when you log in?
thanks for your help

Hrm...I can't find anything about unlimited data in the 'my account'
section, either. I don't know how I would prove that I purchased this
feature if one month they decided to silently take it away and serve me a
big bill for data usage.

Unlimited data/texting are part of the Sero plan... You would have to pay
for extra like TV channels or Certain radio channels etc.

These SERO plans....can anyone get them or do you have to sweet talk a
actual employee.   I've used Sprint for more than 5 years and I have 4
phones on my plan...it would be nice to get a $ break on my monthly bill.

New accounts only. You do it on-line. No family plans. Anyone can get them.

Its great for a single phone, but no family plans..but...
free data packages.

I'm comparing three plans here, each with three phones.
Cingular and Sprint have 1400 minute plans, but SERO is 1250.
Rounding off to nearest dollar

    Cingular    Sprint        Sprint SERO
Base    $90        $90        $50 (1250 min)
2nd ph    $10        free        $50
3rd ph    $10        $10        $50
    -----        -----        -----
Total    $110        $100        $150

Now add unlimited web browsing from the handset for three
phones.

    $60        $45        free
    -----        -----        -----
Total    $170        $145        150

I think you've forgotten one thing- in the non-SERO examples, the minutes
are shared between the three phones in a family plan, but in SERO each
phone has 1250 minutes.

Good catch...that would bring the two more in line as you would need a
higher priced more minutes plan for the family plans.

That's true, though on family plans, usually the minutes are not used
equally by all the phones.

Bottom line is that users need to look at their particular needs and
think just how much a few dollars difference is going to make in the big
picture, i.e a $50 savings on a carrier that can't hold a signal on a
handset in your home or office negates ANY savings.

In my case:
Phone #1 averages 600 min/month (over 2 yr period)
Phone #2 zero (only used for M2M with phone #1)
Phone #3 predicted to average < 300 min per month

Only phone #1 needs the $15-$20 data plan for occasional testing and
backup. I already have a Sprint Pantech data card stuck inside a D-Link
DIR-450 unit.

As for the laptop tethered access...
Lots of time we're at a customer's site and need to look back into their
servers from the outside world internet cloud. If they have an on-site
hosted server, you can't see it from their computers.

Here at the office, I used to have to use a dial up modem to look back
at my web servers; but now have several PCs at my various POPs that I
can remote into and look back.
