The most basic level Vision is CDMA 1xRTT whereas Power Vision is
EV-DO. The difference is that EV-DO is significantly
faster, data-wise. Some phones only take Vision and some take Power Vision. I have Power Vision with my SERO plan and love it.

Hope that helps.

It is the phone...

If you have a PowerVision phone it's basically just called that when you get the unlimited data plan, and through SERO and the Q (PowerVision Phone) EVDO access, you have PowerVision...

Some of the regular phones and stuff are just CDMA1x which basically means no EVDO speeds, basically like dial up...

Hope that helps define it...

GO to the SERO site and look at the $30 plan for the Q...it says unlimited web with the vision plan. Thats whats confusing...maybe its just wrong on the web site

I have the Power Vision Plus package, which is $20 per month. The way I understand it, the only difference between the Power Vision package ($15) and the Power Vision Plus package ($20) is that you get TV and picture mail with the Plus package. I know that you can't get TV or picture mail on the Q. The reason I have the $20 package is because the retention department offered me a $10 credit on a vision package, but it had to be one priced at $20 or higher. So I got the Plus package for $20, then get a $10 credit. I have it on all three of my phones that way. The other two phones we have are the Samsung Blade - which can actually get TV and picture mail. As for the SERO plans, you can only get them on individual plans. If you have a family plan, like I do, you can't get a SERO plan.

Don't think it matters for the Q but why not try sprint's website. Just remeber the Q does not support Sprint TV or Sprint Music that that is what is usually incldued in the more costly plans. ie more tv channels, etc.

Why would you say you cannot have a Family plan with SERO? It's 9.99 to add an additional line to whatever SERO package you want.

I just have the 500 minutes and share with my wife, $30 + $9.99 (wifes phone) so my bill is $48.67 with all the taxes and fees and stuff.

Unlimited Data and 500 minutes shared between the two phones?

Think you might be missing something...My wife also has the Samsung A900 and is able to get the TV and stuff, I can't though cause i have the moto Q; not avaliable.

This is all through the SERO site...Family plans...etc.
