Sprint today announced a partnership with Cequint, a wholly-owned

Network Services (TNS), to help protect Sprint customers from
unwanted robocalls. The companies are working to develop enhanced Caller
ID solutions, and expect to integrate the service later this year.

experience, and protecting them from unwanted robocalls is one of them,”
said Mark Yarkosky, Sprint’s Director of Product Management. “Cequint’s
