Fairly recently Sprint PCS Wireless made headlines in USA Today for
offering credit to its business customers for lulls in its nationwide
network. Lulls are explained as dropped calls, fast busy signals and
other minor problems. However unlike its competitors, Sprint PCS
Wireless made a bold offering of a refund for such problems, and some are customers receiving up to 30% of their monthly Sprint cell phone bills.
Such dedication to customer service is at least part of what has driven
Sprint PCS Wireless to the top of the charts where it has a strong hold
as the number 4 cell phone carrier in the U.S. with around 20 million
subscribers nationwide. One thing Sprint does have in common with other
cell phone carriers is an interest in improving network design in order
to be more accommodating to the most demanding consumers.
Sprint has a solid line of cell phones and cell phone calling plans
which run the gamut in prices and offerings which help Sprint to
achieve their goal. These plans range in price from $35.00 a month for
a basic plan to a comprehensive 1-800 plan for under $100.00 a month.
For instance Sprint¡'s Free and Clear Nationwide plan at $35.00 a month
gives you 300 peak minutes and unlimited nights and weekends with
nationwide coverage. The cost and strength of coverage varies in major
cities. Sprint offers a family plan, Sprint PCS Free and Clear
Nationwide 700, for about $128.00 a month. This plan gives 700 shared
minutes and unlimited nights and weekends. It costs an additional
$20.00 a month for each additional line.
One of Sprint's most popular plans, Free and Clear (area wide), is
perfect for those who rarely travel outside their calling area. The
plan offers 1000 peak minutes and unlimited use on nights and weekends.
If you travel outside of your calling area on a regular basis you may
want to consider one of Sprint's PCS Free and Clear nationwide 1000
plans, at about $80.00 a month. You can choose a plan with 1000 peak
minutes and unlimited nights and weekends or
3000 any time minutes which includes nights and weekends.
Take a look at Sprint's PM6625 top of the line Nokia phones. This is
one of the most complete phones available anywhere. The PM6625 has all
the bells and whistles including VGA camera, full customization
capability and even has infrared Port. Second on the list is the Sanyo
SCP-8100, which includes a camera, is easy to use, can be customized
with Sprint ring tones and is small and light weight. Third on the list
of phones offered by Sprint is the Handsprint Treo 600, a true cell
phone/palm top combination. With a reliable speaker phone, built in
camera, Palm OS and more, this phone is great but rather expensive.
