Unlocking Cheap Cell Phone Plans. Introducing Spring SERO.


I see so many folks getting seriously abused by their cell phone carrier. Bills over $100 dollars per month, all these extras that they don't need. Its out of control. If you want to save some money, then dump your current cell phone and switch to Sprint SERO. The current SERO offer isn't as sweet as the previous offerings, but it still offers a great discount in wireless.

What is Sero?

First of all--

The sprint Sero url is http://www.sprint.com/sero

Sprint Sero is a program by Sprint wireless intended to offer a rock bottom price on equipment and service plans to friends and family of Sprint employees.

What do I need to get into the Sprint Sero website?

A sprint employee email address. That is all. I will not post any sprint employee email addresses on this site, but here are two very EASY ways to get them. Walk into a sprint store, and start talking to a sprint employee. Ask for their business card before you leave. They are usually sitting right on the desk. Their email is printed right on the business card. Use this email to login to the site, and you are golden.

Or if you are the lazy type that I am, use the magic of google to find a sprint employee email address. The search string *@sprint.com works great!

When you order the phone and plan, no they will not contact the employee to make sure they are your friend. You just need the email address to get into the system.

Once you are in, you will enjoy some great perks.

Here are the latest plans. Now go to the site and start saving some bucks.

Stop spending $300 for eyeglasses, order online.


I was sitting with a friend at lunch the other day, he was talking about his new eyeglasses, and how they were way overpriced. He had paid $300 for eyeglasses at the local shopping mall, and felt like he had been ripped off.

Now, I thought I was a step above him. I would buy my eyeglasses at an discount optical store called America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses. When I was a kid, this was the place that my parents had dragged me to, and had me pick eyeglasses off the 49 dollar rack or whatever.

America's Best is full service eye wear store. They have two doctors on site, and I have always had good service there. Here is the problem. Even though they have low prices, compared to the internet they are very expensive.

This is the secret that every eye retailer doesn't want you to know.

I'm going to introduce you to a slick deal that I found on the internet.

The place is called Zenni Optical. Places like this even undercut the Walmart eye doctor, by a ton.

How does $8 and up per pair sound? Zenni has thousands of frames. Honestly, the 8 dollar frames weren't the geeky tacky frames that I would expect at that pricerange. I would have bought the 8 dollar frames, but decided to spend the big bucks, and step up to bendable titanium frames.

Here is my bill from Zenni.

The custom made eyeglasses arrived at my door in 6 business days. The quality is great. Now get out there and buy yourself a couple pairs of eyeglasses, and don't worry about breaking them. At this price point they are pretty much disposable.

A final tip, check out the tint option for glasses. You can get transitions lenses, or have a regular pair of glasses dark tinted, and use them as sunglasses.

Until Next time..
