The Wife and I currently have the Sprint SERO deal, which is an amazing deal. Currently, I am paying $30/month for 500 mins, unlimited text messages and unlimited data. The Wife needs more mins, so she has 1200 mins, unlimited text messages, and unlimited data for $50/month.
SERO is an acronym for Sprint Employee Referrel Offer – basically it is a phone plan for friends and family of sprint workers. Who do I know? No one. I came accross this deal here. It seems that the deal isn’t as good as it used to be, but I digress. When I went to sign up for this deal, my younger brother, who is deaf was getting KILLED on his plan from T-Mobile. Before anyone asks, Yes, I am fluent in Sign Language.
Cell Phone Service for the Deaf Community
So he did a little research (I won’t take any credit for this one) he found Sprint Relay . It is made specifically for individuals with hearing issues or are deaf. Sprint Relay offers 3 different types of blackberrys that are subsidized even further than other plans (Blackberry curve for $100 is a great deal).
The website indicates that Sprint Relay Data Only Plan is $29.99* per month! For:
- Unlimited e-Mail
- Unlimited Internet Access
- Unlimited Instant Messaging (IM)
- Unlimited Domestic Text Messaging (SMS) (Included! Save $15)
- Unlimited Phone as Modem (PAM) (Included! Save $15)
- Both Incoming/Outgoing calls will be blocked, you can contact our video customer service to remove the block — NOTE: 9-1-1 will not be blocked
- If Incoming and/or Outgoing call block are removed, you will be billed at $0.20 per minute for local voice calls or $0.40 per minute for long distance voice calls
I wasn’t going to write this post until a good friend of mine asked what I recommended for her neice who is deaf – and I figured if this information can help one person it was worth the quick post.
Also, Sprint offers a referral program, so anyone that signs up for the deal contact me and we both can get a $25 gift card!

Hi, I just want to know which kind of cell phone is good for the deaf and hard of hearing people and services? I just want to know if Verizon cell phones is good?
The problem I found with Verizon is the cost. I know my brother has a Sprint Blackberry and it only costs him $30/month (plus taxes) – and he loves it!
I don’t think Verizon has a deaf program so you may be stuck paying for mins that you obviously don’t need.
Please you all deaf and hard-of-hearing people to tell to the Verizon co to reduced the monthly charges on wireless cell phone for the deaf and Hard of People. If they do they will be in good business with the deaf and the hard of hearing peole. I know that most deaf and hard of hearing people would love to use cell phone through Verizon Co. You have to voice it and to be heard. So please spread the words to others? It would be so much to me. Please let me know? Thanks.
Have you tried the Sprint Relay Store? That is who my brother uses.
Which bank is good to invest and the interest rates? I want to know how to invest my money? Please let me know?
Ok, lisen American People you know that the gas prices is to high right now and we have to do something about we should tell the Government to lower the gas prices down. Because if they do not lower it down we will have a problem in Amercian. I am having a hard time to buy gas for my truck because it cost me lots of money to buy gas. This is crazy! So please do somthing about it before it too late! It would be nice if the gas prices is 99 cents to 1.50 per gallon then the ecomney will be good. I will bet you.
