Any SERO owners here switch over to SERO Premium and get the EPIC?
I'm thinking about doing it but I was just wondering do I have to get the EPIC through Sprint or can I just buy it off eBay and activate it myself?
I hate contracts and would much rather buy the phone in full off eBay but that Sprint page about SERO Premium mentioned something about how only phones bought through Sprint could be activated and they won't activate a phone that was bought through a third-party.
Just curious if anyone here has updated to SERO Premium and how did it go.
<raises hand>
It was easy as pie all my perks came along for the ride too!
SERO Premium doesn't require a new contract when you upgrade. You should be able to activate it as long as the phone has a clean ESN - the activation process is no different than other Sprint phones. I bought my Epic through Sprint telesales, and the upgrade process from my SERO 500 minute plan to SERO Premium was painless and took about 5 minutes.
Enjoy your space phone - the Epic makes my overclocked TP2 seem ancient and useless.
Bought off sprints website for the 250 in discounts. I had it on 9/30 so had to wait a day to activate.
250 for 2 years is 10/month off compared to buying off ebay offsets the 4g 10/month charge.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I don't have much to worry about.
By the way, what number do I call when I want to upgrade to SERO Premium?

At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?
No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.
What would be the price at best buy

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months
The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

Are you sure the epic had horrid support from Samsung. My girl had one and having all those galaxy s phones did not help unlocking and getting aosp on it. Alot of the talented devs on sprint are here or on the evo 3d, just one thing to make note of

I just got my letter today, finally, saying that I am using too much roaming data over the past 6 months and they will be monitoring me. Sprint service absolutely sucks in my area and unless I am on verizon I get crap or no 3g. I don't really feel like waiting till oct 7th to see if maybe (big maybe) my service gets any better.
I pay an extra 10 bucks a month for "premium data" so I should be able to use it!!
I have been waiting to get out of my contract with no ETF for a few months now so I am just curious about how long before they cancel me and will I be able to port my number to verizon once I do get cancelled?
Sent from my Epic 4G
U wont get verizon 3g with roaming either
And you will probably be blacklisted with the carriers i think
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well, I roam on verizon with a modified prl and get full 3g off their towers constantly, anywhere I go. No one else has any input on this?
Sent from my Epic 4G
How much data on average are you using per month via roaming, just out of curiosity?
That only works if you roam a isht ton in areas that are known sprint dead zones. Anywhere else and they'll know somethings up
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
***** to them that you "WOULDT HAVE TO ROAM IF YOU HAD SERVICE. Don't penalize me for paying you for no service. It should DEFINITELY be the other way around, sir or madam."

Doesn't really matter anyways. Verizon has tiered the data plans. No unlimited on Verizon anyhow.

Spoke to sprint today
I spoke to Sprint today on this issue and since they do not offer quality service in my area and I am forced to roam in order to obtain good service (as i put it) they are waiving the ETF and I am able to move out of Sprint. I am not happy about this decision though. I love sprint where I have lived before in Florida and other places in Pennsylvania but here it is terrible. I will miss my epic and this community but I am doing what has to be done.
Have fun paying triple on verizon
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Id leave too, check out T-Mobile they offer better 4g speeds as well as quality phone. The mytouch slide series is pretty nice if you want a keyboard. They also offer alot of their phones free online.
Do your research.

i'm about to jump ship too... i'm realizing how much better other carriers service is in areas i'm struggling in. i'll go pay a premium for better service if i have to.

My bill. Is like 99 a month on sprint anyway, verizon will be about the same if I stop the downloading directly to my phone, and since I will have miui on my facinate I won't care about roms anyway. And my bill will be the same or less even

Does this sound fishy or does anyone know any truth to this?
Thought I would check eBay for some unlimited data plans and I found some.
I eBay searched "Verizon unlimited data"
A couple sellers are selling current contracts and claiming that they will somehow put them in your name. Is this possible? Maybe they work in tech support?
One other seller is claiming that their company is the only one in the US that can add a "VIP data plan" to new or existing customers.
Any knowledge or feedback is appreciated. Check out the auctions and see what u think. FYI I am a new VZ customer still in the cancellation period.

It is possible to transfer a name to another person's account. Its called an AOL (Assumption of Liability). However, ever if the person's account you are transferring to is in good standing, I'm pretty sure you'll still need to pass a credit check to be eligible to take it over.
AOLs are pretty popular due to some people wanting to get out of their wireless contract without paying the ETF by giving it to someone else. And others will be happy to take them over due to having grandfathered features no longer offered to brand new accounts such as unlimited data with Verizon Wireless.
Thanks Nerdydesi. Ant thoughts on the second option?

How to get Verizon Unlimited Data without going through loop holes
There's a better route!
Email this guy verizon.unlimited.data @ gmail.com
ask him about a VIP Pass which will get you unlimited data
He's hooked up several people on XDA with Unlimited Data and he's legit!
Thinking about getting one
BigMiggen did you buy it yet? I also contacted this guy on Ebay about the unlimited data plan, no answer as of yet.
No not yet. I got the double data at 4 gigs and want to see how much I'm actually gonna use first. Watching Netflix looks like the only way to go over for me. I might email that guy and see how much he wants.

Just sent an e-mail his way, keeping my fingers crossed. 4G LTE does not deserve to be limited!!! Coming from ATT unlimited, I'm starting to miss it. As much trouble as they gave me.
By the way, went into a Verizon Wireless store today and attempted to get the rumored unlimited tether plan (even though I'm not grandfathered) from a rep who said it would work - they attempted to add said plan and continued to receive an error. After calling into Verizon Customer Care, the rep on the line confirmed it's been disabled. So even if you are able to fool some rep, if they attempt to put it in, their system will throw an error.
I emailed him 10 days ago. No reply.

Okay I found out how to get the unlimeted everything for $99 a month. I will make a new post on how to do this once I get my first bill. It works for new and existing customers. Existing customers can early upgrade without penalty as well.
The company has a business plan they put you on and bill you directly. I will update and put a link to the new post once I get my first bill from them to make sure it's legit. Although I am typing this on my new s3 they sent me for $150.

I'm with Simple Mobile now. I can tell you that the Data on their $40/month plan is HORRIBLE. It is throttled to 150Kbps, which is damn near dialup speeds. I wound up just getting the $60/month plan with high speed data and all is well.

Best buy has a deal for new and existing ATT customers. The best deal I've seen since you also get a $50 gift card. You must activate before 7/12.

That's a kickass deal. I was thinking of spending about 630 for the phone outright but 100 dollars with a 50 dollar gift card after activation sounds good.

That would be great if they honor it. Let us know how it goes.
How do you activate before 7/12 if the G3 isn't released yet? Am I missing something? Should I be driving to BB right now?
I'm guessing AT&T and Sprint are in stock, but maybe not Verizon.

Enjoy downloading 50gb a month on your cellphone (or hotspot) without any charges. Sprint might have crappy network signal at times but they make up for it with that IMO.
