Fair & Flexible Price Plans Retired

  • Existing customers on Fair & Flexible Family Plans can add Add-a-Phones to their existing account.

The new Power Pack rate plans will support base customers who rate plan migrate:

  • The vast majority of customers migrating to a Fair & Flex Plan today – 90% of individual plan migrators and 78% of family plan migrators – are getting additional core pricing features like Roaming, 7PM, and Mobile to Mobile included into their price plan and will continue to have this benefit with Power Pack plans.
  • On average, 75% to 85% of customers do not break their anytime minute bucket.
  • Customers have continued to migrate to Fair & Flexible plans to obtain unlimited calling features – bundled roaming, 7PM Night Calling, and Unlimited Mobile to Mobile – despite less attractive bundled flexible overage.

  • The New Power Pack plans will feature powerful buy ups giving our customers more unlimited calling options.

  • Two or three extra hours every weekday for unlimited calling to anyone on any network

Sprint Nextel Launches EV-DO Rev A in Salt Lake City and Sacramento

Sprint Nextel announced this week that it has launched its EV-DO Revision A mobile data service in two new markets, namely Sacramento, California and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Both of these cities have been upgraded to the newer and faster wireless communications technology, which allows for upstream bandwidth of 300 to 400 kbps and download speeds of up to 800 kbps. The original EV-DO technology, widely used by both Sprint and Verizon, provides upstream data transfer of only 50 to 70 kbps.

EV-DO Revision A, which is expected to be available in 21 sprint markets by month’s end, will be much better suited to high bandwidth applications like video telephony, wireless music, and mobile video. It will be especially important for interactive wireless services which require a high level of upstream bandwidth.
