HOUSTON -- (Business Wire)
After a week of record-area rain in the Houston area, Sprint (NYSE:S) is
assisting local customers who have been impacted by the floods. The
company is offering affected data customers a service credit of up to
$50 per device for a limited time. Affected Sprint customers should
visit a Houston-area Sprint store in order to receive the credit.
Additionally, impacted Sprint customers will receive up to 50 percent
discounts on select charging accessories1, from April 21,
2016 through May 4, 2016. And, Sprint is helping to collect food
donations in its stores across Houston in support of Kids’ Meals on
Wheels which is still providing meals and deliveries to families as the
city continues to recover from this tragedy.
“Sprint is an integral part of the Houston community, so it’s important
to us that we step in and do our part to help,” said John Stevens,
Sprint’s Region President for Central Texas. “One of the best ways we
can help demonstrate our commitment to Houston is by providing some
relief to Sprint customers and our employees who are affected by the
devastation.”
During natural disasters like floods, Sprint reminds customers of
several steps they can take to prepare:
-
Keep your wireless phone and backup batteries charged, but be aware
that an interruption of wireline and commercial power could affect
wireless calls.
-
If possible, get extra batteries and charge them.
-
In times of commercial power outages, a car adapter for your wireless
phone should enable you to recharge the battery.
-
Keep phones and necessary accessories in a sealed plastic bag to avoid
water damage.
-
Load family and emergency numbers into your wireless phone.
-
Wireless networks sometimes experience heavy voice traffic during
emergency events, so try sending a text message rather than making a
call.
