Network improves daily making it a great time
to switch to Sprint
Sprint today announced that its network in Lansing, Michigan,
received shared 1st place rankings for call and text performance,
according to a new RootScore® Report by independent mobile
analytics firm RootMetrics®. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, a new
RootScore Report also shows Sprint received a shared 1st place
ranking for call performance, as well as an outright 1st place win
in text performance.
In Lansing, Sprint shares the Call RootScore Award for the third
consecutive test period, and in this most recent test did not
record any blocked calls. Sprint shares the Text RootScore Award
for the second consecutive test period in Lansing; and won it
outright in Grand Rapids for a second consecutive test period.
Earlier this month Sprint reported shared 1st place rankings for
reliability, call and text performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In 89 other markets measured in the first half of 2015, Sprint
has been awarded a total of 120 first place (outright or shared)
RootScore Awards for overall, reliability, speed, data, call, or
text network performance.1
“Our Michigan network gets better every day as we work to
deliver the consistent reliability, capacity, and speed that our
customers demand,” said Scott Santi, vice president of Sprint’s
network in the North Region. “We’re pleased with these latest
results for call and text, and we’re laser-focused on improving
data speeds as we further invest in our Michigan 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
