Fair & Flexible Price Plans Retired

Remove Fair & Flexible plans from all customer facing materials effective 1/14/07. Sales expire Fair & Flexible plans following typical business rules:
  • Existing customers on Fair & Flexible plans wishing to rate plan migrate will be proactively offered new Power Pack Pricing rate plans.
  • 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.

New Power Pack Voice Plans Launch

On January 14, 2007, Sprint’s lead consumer rate plan offer is changing from Sprint Fair & Flexible plans to Sprint Power Pack plans

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

  • Customers can choose from Nights and Weekends starting at 6PM or 50 Add-on minutes for only $5 a month

Key Benefits to the Customer:



  • Sprint will continue to highlight the 7PM off-peak differentiation and will extend this leadership position with attractive 6PM buy-up options

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

  • All customers can benefit from earlier Night start times

Competitive Comparison:



  • Cingular offers 7pm off-peak, but charges $8.99 for individual plans and $16.99 for family plans.

  • Cingular does not offer 6pm off-peak

  • Verizon and T-Mobile do not offer any off-peak calling options
