A few of my family members had/have SERO plans through my bro. Two brothers updated to smart phones and lost their plan. My mom still has a flip phone, and I thought you could keep the SERO plan if u upgraded, but pay a $10 fee. I'd like to give her my Evo LTE. Can I make this happen, and who do I talk to?

If you upgrade on the website then it makes you change plans. I have to use telesales, and call sprint to do the activation.
My bro claims he tried fighting to keep his plan upgrading phones, and they would not allow him to keep it upgrading to a smart phone.

My brother is looking to finally get rid of his blackberry and wants this phone. He plans on upgrading either through website or att store.
He still has his unlimited data plan which brings me to my question, to anyone who has recently upgraded; if he upgrades, will he still be able to keep his unlimited data plan. Does he have to do something special to keep it?

i was able to keep my unlimited plan when i upgraded from my iphone 3gs to this...
He will get to keep his plan as Pirate has said. He is grandfathered in, just as my dad was from his iPhone 3GS.
That's good, wish I has the money for an unlimited package before they left. Thanks for your help.

I can't afford to pay $100 a month to Sprint so I want to know if there any options out there to unlock the phone or flash it over to another carrier. I don't know anything about this stuff and would really appreciate some answers.
Then why did you buy it? You know what's going to be much less affordable than your $100 per month? Your increased interest rates on anything you finance in the future since you jacked up your credit.

Now, there's no need to start lecturing. Sure, ideally OP wouldn't be in this situation, but things happen (job loss, medical, personal), so let's just see if we can be more helpful.
OP, generally Sprint phones are difficult to move. There are people that go to janky 3rd party carriers, but this is annoying and difficult. No matter what, you'll have to end up paying the ETF with Sprint to get out of that contract. Otherwise, you'll have a mark on your credit (which is not worth the $2-300).
You could think about going with Ting. They have a BYOD program, but none of the new phones are in the program. Perhaps in a year it will be available.
Lastly, $100/mo. seems high for Sprint service. Are you sure you looked at all the plans and your options? I, personally, am in a family plan with some family members, and it ends up being about $55/user, subsidized.

If he's doing just a straight individual plan, this could be around the price after TEP and taxes and such.

Here is the answer to your question.
guide how to flash to htc one (M7) to cricket or other carrier
Sprint phones are easily flashed to cricket and even when your bill or contract is burnt and sprint flags your esn unusable.
Is there a video or tutorial on how to flash the phone over?
If you want to use a GSM carrier, I wrote a simple app that will SIM unlock your phone...

Lots of threads about shipping among other things. But what carrier are you using your PHONE on? I am personally using T-Mobile with Unlimited everything on a family plan.
Since this device is being sold around the world, i think an actual poll would be too lengthy and have too many options. So please just post as a comment!

Depending on your current bill, could potentially be worth it to cancel early. I have a friend that is going to cancel their verizon, because they will save more money than the cancellation fee.
As for me, T-mobile, been with them since 2001. (GO VOICESTREAM)
Um, you forgot to add the poll to your poll thread.
I will be using AIO pro plan.
Sprint is my carrier.
Will be Three UK. 2000 minutes, 5000 texts, 5000 three to three minutes, unlimited data with free upgrade to 4G in December including unlimited tethering all for £15 a month on a 12 month sim only contract.

Same Situation, however I am in the midst of fighting with them over this nonsensical 61 Cent "Administrative Fee" they added per line to my Family Plan. They never notified anyone and in breach of contract. I am going to try to be released for their breach of contract.
T-Mobile!
I ordered the free micro sim kit from T-Mobile today. Plan on buying their 1000 minute $100/yr prepaid plan. Wifi for 90% of it's use. Sad to hear about Google stopping 3rd party VOIP apps next year, no more GrooveIP, Talkatone and others... still not sure if I'd use 1000 minutes per year.

My AT&T contract ended today (perfect timing). So I'm going to give T-Mobile's $30/mo prepaid service a try as soon as my nexus gets here.
Straight talk At&t. I really wish Tmo would get the LTE in my area already because that seems to be the best choice. Just can't deal with edge/2g speeds and att has great LTE coverage for me. Even better than vzw in a lot of places.

Exactly, all these new plans Sprint is coming out with end up costing us more money than the plans we already have so why would we switch to them.
This is really tempting since T Mobile has better coverage and more 4G where I live than Sprint.
I'm going to scope it out. Might be something to jump on.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Well I went to the website to check out how much it would be for 2 lines and it would end up costing more on T Mobile. First off you HAVE to finance a device or pay the full price up front. So 2 lines with unlimited everything comes up to $120 per month plus if I were to get 2 HTC Ones that would be an extra $50 per month. So $170 before taxes and fees. I think you have to buy the insurance also but I'm not sure. I'm going to go into a TMobile store and check it out for sure though.

I don't understand why people think these no contract plans are any better than signing a contract.
Why would you want to be on the hook for paying off a 600$ device rather than paying a 200$ early termination fee..
Sprint has the cheapest plans of the major providers flat out, and the network is improving quickly

Exactly. Good info for those who want it. Those who don't shouldn't complain, just stay where they're at. Already sent a link to a friend who was talking about jumping ship from Verizon.

Yeah I'd rather have my text messages send and receive normally. Past T-Mobile people I've texted have told me of "texting issues" and the whole "edge" thing. No thanks, if my LTE drops, at least 3G is faster than edge. And I'm not giving up my unlimited 4G LTE & tethering. As for upgrades... If I really want the phone like my two HTC Ones then I pay full price. T-Mobile sounds good and all but i know there's a catch there some here. And Sprint made me happy thay my AT&T friends with extreme speeds sometimes ask me to lend my portable hotspot when their LTE drops to HSPA or Edge.

I went to a T-Mobile store today to inquire about it. What kills it for me is that you HAVE to purchase a device from them, and our Ones are only worth $106 in trade-in. Doesn't seem fair when I could sell it on CL for $275. The cost would work out roughly the same. $86/month. They also don't pay the ETF directly. You have to cover it, then you get a prepaid MasterCard in 4-8 weeks. So to start the plan, you're looking at potentially hundreds of dollars.
Yeah, it's contract free, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. Sprint does just fine in Metro Atlanta, and as much as I feel I'm getting boned by them, it's the smallest in the long list of dicks that are phone companies.

Yeah, what he said! I work in Pendergrass, Geogia, which is about 90 miles north of metro Atlanta, and formerly a 3G area if I was lucky. Within the last four months it has gone from spotty 3G to 2 bars of LTE. And that's literally out in the boonies. That much improvement that fast is worth hanging around, especially with the whole Mastercard bait and switch crap. Sprint is really earning my business these days. My penny and a half...
I'm coming from at&t to Verizon. I just ordered a g2 on the Verizon edge plan. I'm the type that likes to switch phones yearly..so I'm hoping this plan isn't riddled with hidden BS. Anyone care to elaborate on the pros/cons that may not be widely known about this plan?
Looking forward to Verizons strong coverage..thanks guys

You're paying about 88 more than a 2 year contract over those 12 months, and if you ever decide you don't want to upgrade you still have to end up paying the full retail of the phone.
not to mention you have to trade your phone back in whenever you do decide to upgrade, its kind of a bunk deal if you ever want to get out of service with them.
You do have to trade yout phone back in, but you only have you pay 50% of the phones retail value in order to upgrade.
I knew there would be some drawbacks...but we'll see. Thanks guys
