Maybe they will combine into an actual usable nationwide network instead of their current below average state. And Dish will be the new Sprint. Edit:  lol two pages in a row

I've been looking to switch from Virgin Mobile for a while now and SWAC seems like it's just what me and the wife need. So do I just start the process, get into the plan selection and beg the rep to give me a hookup code?

Unless other people know something I don't, people in this thread talking about getting on SWAC are all people who were on SERO (another special plan that you haven't been able to sign up for in years).

But, he might be able to if you have a friend at Sprint or something. No idea as yes us SERO holdouts pretty much got ours when Sprint's old CEO was letting everyone use his e-mail as the reference. Those were the days. The bad old 3G days..... At least the plan was good.

Welp, I never got around to buying a new phone - I just trimmed up the apps on my S5 (I was complaining about it was slow last month) and installed Foobar2000 instead of the incredibly bloated after an update Samsung Music (who's idea is it to make a music app that you can't see the time unless you press a button, sheesh.) And I installed one of those cache/memory "cleaners" which seems to help. I switched from my basically free Kroger plan (with 100 minutes/texts, 50mb a data for $10 a month) to Tello, so I'll let you know how it goes. It's 300 minutes, unlimited texts, 2g LTE and I guess unlimited slower after that for $13 a month using a CDMA phone (you can set up your plan however you want every month.) I think unlimited minutes was just $1 or $2 more. Are they just desperate to sell lines on Sprint's network? I couldn't find a deal like this with any GSM MVNOs. Or is Sprint's network that bad that's all they can get out of it?

There's a reason that us SERO holdouts considered going to other networks for double the price and half the benefits, lovely network. Luckily I'm in Michigan 95% of the time and it's good here.

I get 130 Mbps down and like 10-12 up. I also IIRC live in a Shentel area which means that the entire Sprint network here is managed by a small third party that actually cares about good service instead of Sprint corporate. If I ever moved into an area that was real Sprint, all the SWAC perks wouldn’t be enough to keep me.

astral posted:$5 itunes/app store code in the rewards app Which lasted about 5 minutes... On a happier note my last 2 year contract for EPRP finally expired and after a couple of different phone calls/emails and approximately 50 different pitches to add a line and upgrade my phone I’m now in the loving arms of SWAC. I tried a few months back when according to the rep I spoke with my plan was not eligible for conversion, no mention of needing to wait it out. I’m still trying to get used to Tidal after being an Apple Music user for years, Prime is nice, and lol at the Lookout Security that seems to be aimed directly at boomers who think their iPhone is hacked because they throw their password in any box that asks for it ever.

Now that swac plus/premium are just two different 'service' addons, you can actually switch back and forth really easily yourself in the "Manage Services" bit when you are back on SWAC. I'd definitely recommend calling in on the aforementioned line and seeing if they can fix you up. edit: clarified astral fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Sep 14, 2019 |

SERO Premium 500 user here. I'm about to travel to Germany/Austria for a couple of months. Under my Sero plan's services it includes:
I can't seem to find in my account any clarification about what kind of International Roaming I have (if any). Anyone here have any experience using SERO Premium in Europe? Or anyone with SWAC?

Under my Sero plan's services it includes: Under "additional services" there was an option to turn on international roaming and data but I don't remember what it was called. For a while there it was something you wanted to turn on as they were offering like 1G full speed LTE and unlimited slower data with it at the time. SWAC has all that included now so if you haven't made the switch yet, you might want to and get all the perks for less than what you are paying for your current SERO. So far all of us that made the switch seem to be alright.

I went to Germany, France and New Zealand while on SERO and when I got in country Sprint texted me the rates and a link to buy data for a day rate or a week rate. A week in Europe was like $20-25 for unlimited 4G. Once you accept/buy it'll ne added to your next bill and you'll more than likely need to restart your phone once to a few times to get it to fi ally pick up on the in country network.

Thank you all for helping clear that up! I filled out the e-form to convert my SERO over to SWAC, and hope it all goes smoothly. I guess while I'm traveling I'll plan on sparingly buying day-passes when I really need 4G.

I like that we SERO (now SWAC) folks can finally switch phones easily online now. I've flipped back and forth from a few different phones using the "activation" link. Only takes a minute. We had that originally and then they took it away at some point with SERO, but now it's back.

Managed to get a SWAC invite thanks to a helpful salesperson. Grabbed an S10 and iPhone 11, but couldn't port my wife's account (I'm new to Sprint). Couldn't take my number from Virgin so I'm spending a month in the Google Voice ghetto getting everything forwarded. They really make you suffer for going VMobile Planning on doing the same for the wife, who is a current Sprint subscriber. I know that in 18 months we'll have to pay for the phones, but the price for both out plans comes out to just about what she was paying for one phone so it's very cool at the moment. Maybe even a little bit better since Hulu and Amazon were included.

$5 Amazon in Sprint Rewards, but it's a bit weird - unlike normal, this one's in the "Just for you" section, and if you don't see it right away you have to go back to the main page and then hit "Just for you" again several times to refresh it until you see it. I was skeptical but after around 10 tries it showed up for me! When it shows up in the list, it'll say "Sprint Anniversary Reward". There's also some free pizza hut bone-out wings in the regular Sprint Rewards section (through 11/10). e:  make sure to save/screenshot/copy/use the Amazon code ASAP because it'll disappear if you leave that screen and then it won't show up in the "Just for you" section any longer (maybe it'll randomly reappear if you keep going back and forth but no thanks)
