I'm not sure if this will really affect anyone else, and I'm not sure if it will stick, but it's pretty damned cool so far. To set the stage, I have two phones on my account. One is a SERO 500 premium for $40 and the other is the Sprint Everything 500 (or 450, can't remember now) for $59. The line I was upgrading was the Sprint Everything line
I upgraded to the EVO 4G LTE from a Samsung SII. Got my package in the mail, opened it and turned that bad boy on as quick as I could. To my surprise, even though I hadn't activated the phone yet, it got a data connection and had steps to activate the phone. I started running through the process and quickly got a message that the phone was not compatible with my plan. It then brought up a list of plans that I could change to, and SERO 500 premium was one of them. I selected it not thinking there was any way it would work, but it did. Phone is working great and I logged into my account and saw that both my lines are now SERO 500 premium.
Long story short, by buying this phone I am now saving $20 a month ($59 plan is now $40). If anyone else is in the same position I would recommend trying to activate it with the new phone, not calling in or using the webpage.
