I learned about the Sprint SERO (Sprint Employee Referral Offer) plan through Five Cent Nickel and found it vastly superior to the plan I already had from Sprint (more minutes and unlimited text messages for $30 vs. about 1/2 the minutes and ala carte text messages for $50–data was identical) so I signed up and while I’ve had some horrible customer service experiences with Sprint over the years, I’m happy enough with their coverage and more than happy with their data. I became quite happy with their prices.

Unfortunately for folks interested in SERO (not so much for me, since I got in before all of this happened), the SERO plan is now gone, replaced by a renamed Everything Plus plan that basically doubles the price and makes it harder to sign up! Previously, just knowing a Sprint employee’s email address was the requirement for getting in (meaning many if not just about all of the folks who signed up knew no one who was actually a Sprint employee); now, an employee email address with the last three numbers of an employee ID is required and it appears that employees are limited to one referral per year.

Too bad, it was a fantastic deal while it lasted, and I’m glad I got in!
