Sprint Delivers Exclusive Super Bowl XLIII Benefits to Its Customers

Posted by Michael Lubensky @ 10:15 pm

sprintWith Super Bowl XLIII mere days away, national attention has turned to Tampa Bay — host of this year’s game. As a result, a number of exclusive benefits are available to Sprint customers, whether attending the game in Tampa or watching from home throughout the country. For all Sprint event schedules and more information, visit www.sprint.com/nfl.

sprintIn today’s challenging economic environment, businesses need to pay only for the tools that are critical to how they conduct business. With new and unique Nextel Direct Connect(R) Custom Plans available from Sprint, businesses can do exactly that. They can easily select a plan that includes the tools their workgroups use most and the flexibility to add a bucket of minutes based on what will actually be used. The new plans provide unlimited Direct Connect, Group Connect, Mobile-to-Mobile, Text Messaging and Picture Mail, starting at $29.99 per month.

With other mobile providers, a business is asked to choose a plan based on monthly anytime voice minutes required per user and then pay incrementally for features such as push-to-talk, text messaging and picture mail. While this approach makes sense for consumers, businesses use mobile communications tools differently and need plans to address the fact that most communication occurs between workgroup members. With Nextel Direct Connect Custom Plans, the focus is on key services used most by workgroups, which are bundled with unlimited usage, at a low flat monthly rate. A business can then attach a bucket of anytime voice minutes to be shared with the entire workgroup.
