SERO Extends Unlimited Text Until 31 May 2008

I really think that it is not really going anywhere anytime soon. I also think that alot of people sign up on this so why would they want to get rid of it if it helps them? But I know though it is not going to help them out in the making money part though.

i wonder if thier making money on this.

 

Yes Sprint is making money on this. Although SERO might not be AS PROFITABLE as a regular plan they are still MAKING PROFIT on these plans.

To us (the consumer) it seems like they are loosing money putting 500 minutes, texting, and data together. But you have to remember although if we went the non-SERO route whilst it would cost US more to build it ala-carte to match SERO. Its the same price either way for Sprint to provide these services.

The ala-carte route is just more of a markup for the services. SERO has a lesser markup. For Sprint to provide the service its like this (as explained by a Sprint insider to me)...

500 Minutes - $3.50
Mobile-To-Mobile - $1.00
7PM Nights/Weekends - $2.50
Unlimited Text Messaging - $1.00
Unlimited Data - $2.00

So adding that up it comes to $10.00 for Sprint in operational costs for a SERO plan or a plan just like SERO but ala-carte - which is probably on the high side. That means they are making $20.00 for each SERO signup they have.

Its just the markups are so high on regular plans, it seems like (to us, the consumer) Sprint would be loosing money on SERO. But be assured they are making profit on the SERO; or they would have gotten rid of it along time ago; much less taken away unlimited SMS.

well I'm gonna make like all those legace AT&T Wireless Blue customers and cling to this like a leech

 

For some reason I can't get the SERO site to work on Firefox. I tried several e-mails and I restarted the browser and still was unable to get onto the site. I downloaded Opera and had the site worked great but it still isn't working on Firefox.

 

ive heard a lot of people having this problem since Sprint revamped their site.....i guess its just not programmed to work with firefox

 

yeah.......the latest firefox version might help......or get the internet explorer add on.......then you can go on web pages the only IE can access

 

i still have a bitter taste from before, but its such a good deal, :browani:
