“Our network gets better every day as we work to deliver the consistent
reliability, capacity, and speed that our customers demand,” said Mike
Hennigan, vice president of Sprint’s network in the South Region. “We’re
pleased with these latest results for reliability, call and text, and
we’re laser-focused on improving data speeds as we further invest in our
Daytona Beach network.”
Best Value in Wireless
In addition to offering a significantly improved network, Sprint is
committed to providing consumers the best value in wireless. With the Cut
Your Bill in Half Event, Sprint will cut in half the monthly rate
plan for Verizon and AT&T customers who switch to Sprint when they bring
in their current bill and their old phones. The offer provides unlimited
talk and text to anywhere in the U.S. while on the Sprint network –
regardless of a customer’s current plan – and matches the customer’s
data allowance for half the cost they are currently paying for their
monthly rate plan.2 Sprint will reimburse all of the costs to
switch, including early termination fees and remaining payments on phone
installment plans – no matter what is owed. Sprint will reimburse the
switching costs within approximately 15 days of successfully completing
the online
registration and providing a bill that shows the early termination
charge or device balance due via an American Express Reward card.3
