Why would anyone not want to do SERO plan?

The SERO plan seems like an amazingly good deal. I'm not a big Sprint fan
but if you're going to sign up with Sprint, other than the 2-yr contract,
what is the downside to doing a SERO plan?

I'm on the equivalent of the SERO plan, having used it as leverage when
it came time to renew my contract. I haven't found any downside, after
being on it for 14 months or so.

There's no downside that I know of! ;) I have yet to see a plan that
matches SERO and I've been a loyal T-mobile cust. since the omnipoint/
voicestream days. I've been tempted to get the Q, but I have far too
many phones and plans.

Except that you still have to deal with Sprint CS. They lied to me again.

Google for "Sprint SERO"

Yes, it does seem like a good deal.
I had received the deal announcement and checked and asked in a local store and they said 'it can't be beat'.
HOWEVER, I spent at least an hour plus on the phone with two or three different CS types and ended up learning that I could not get the deal because I receive a state employee discount, and of course there was no rationale for their decision other than the computer would not accept it.

Interestingly the next week I received a mailing offering a few choices of phones, with rebates equaling a free phone, if I re-upped for 2 years. And, this one worked as I just continued my contract with discount.

So, my thinking is that one needs to keep trying until a CS rep is found that understands the situation and can do it for you.

Just my opinion.

The only problem with you signing up with the SERO plan is that you
are wanting the SERO plan AND your government discount. That is why
it can't be done. This is not dependent on the agent you speak to,
this is a matter of what the system will allow when activating a
plan. My advise is if the SERO plan is a better deal for you than you
currently get with your discount, then for go your discount and take
SERO. If not, then keep your Discount.
