Switching to a SERO plan means starting over with regards to
your phone numbers. As others have pointed out, it's usually
not possible to switch an existing line to a SERO plan; you
need to start over (new numbers, new activations, new phones,
etc).

Oh yes, I realize that. But one way or another I have to get internet
access and messaging enabled on my wife's phone, and it may be cheaper
in the long run to get 2 SERO plans and continue to also pay off our
existing plan for the next few months until that contract expires,
rather than add those charges to my wife's line, which, if I'm not
mistaken, would trigger a two year extension on the current contract
(unless that practice has already changed). The decision would be easier
if Sprint had introduced a prorated ETF as they promised months ago,
then I would just cancel my current family plan and get the SERO plans.
Changing phone numbers is not that big an issue with us.

I read about the prorated ETFs; I assume then that this hasn't
happened yet? I thought it would have by now.

I believe they have been implemented by every major carrier except
Sprint, who promised them back in November but is now saying end of the
2nd Quarter 2008 at the earliest. And now I am reading that the prorated
EFT will not be retroactive but will only apply to contracts that are
taken out after it goes into effect. In other words, every current
subscriber is stuck with the full EFT. What a crock!

That would, of course, be ETF, not EFT.
