new cell phone service

Posted by pappy74 on June 8, 2007

So, my trusty Treo 650 finally gave out on me.

Coincidentally, I just found out about an amazing deal with Sprint.

Check out http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/sprint/epc/epclanding.asp

Basically, it’s their ‘Employee Referral Plan’. It’s $30/month, and you get 500 anytime, unlimited nights (7pm) and weekends, unlimited sms and picture messaging, unlimited Sprint-to-Sprint calls and the kicker, unlimited Ev-Do data!

This is equivalent to about $100 /month on Verizon. Yikes.

Plus, they have the phone that I’ve been waiting for Verizon to get, the Treo 755p.

It was a little tricky getting in on the deal; I had to call them several times… mostly due to customer-service incompetence, but it wasn’t that bad. If you want to sign up, call them at 888-882-4030, and use savings@sprint.com as the referral address.

Oh, and as always when dealing with companies like this, make sure to ask for any other discounts just before finalizing everything… got me an extra $25 discount on the phone :)

Update:  So, I just got my first bill and all was  right except unlimited SMS wasn’t on there.  I had to call and argue with customer service to get it put on.  He had never heard of SERO, and I had to send him to the public site before he’d believe me.  Additionally, he said that because of a ‘new computer system’, everyone who signs up for this will have to do the same.  Really sorry.  Bah.
