Only Sprint offers best price for Unlimited and
Galaxy Forever with easy annual upgrades
Only Sprint (NYSE: S) offers new and existing customers the
option to lease two Samsung GS8 devices for the price of one – with
a new line activation – starting Friday, April 21, through April
27. That is just $31.25/month for both devices.1 And with Galaxy
Forever, exclusively from Sprint, customers can upgrade to the
latest Galaxy device any time after 12 lease payments.
Sprint customers can pair their GS8 with the best price for
Unlimited among national carriers – Verizon and AT&T Unlimited
plans cost 50 percent more. With Unlimited Freedom2, new customers
get:
- Unlimited Data, Talk and Text for $50
per month for the first line. Two lines for $40/month per line.
Four lines for $30/month per line.
- A fully featured unlimited plan that
includes HD streaming for video, music and gaming, and 10GB/month
per line of mobile hotspot data, providing convenience and extra
value.
Sprint’s Network Is Even Better
Samsung GS8 and GS8+ are both HPUE-enabled (High Performance
User Equipment) smartphones. HPUE makes the Sprint network
experience even better with increased coverage, more capacity and
faster speeds on capable devices. HPUE-enabled smartphones are
designed to give customers a better overall experience for watching
streaming videos and enjoying mobile gaming and other online apps
and services. HPUE can extend Sprint’s existing 2.5GHz coverage by
up to 30 percent to nearly match its mid-band 1.9GHz spectrum
performance, including indoors where the majority of wireless
traffic is generated.3
“The launch of GS8 is an important milestone for both the Sprint
network and the global HPUE ecosystem,” said John Saw, chief
technology officer for Sprint. “With HPUE, our customers can expect
even better coverage and faster data speeds, particularly indoors
where HPUE can extend the reach of our 2.5GHz service. This is a
tremendous innovation that makes GS8 an even more compelling choice
for customers.”
HPUE is one of many tools Sprint is using to improve its network
and take advantage of its deep 2.5GHz spectrum holdings. With an
average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz
spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than
any other carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding
the capacity and speed needed to serve customers’ increasing demand
for unlimited data.
GS8 Stars in New Sprint Ad
A new Sprint ad featuring the GS8 helps tell the next chapter in
Sprint’s new “Works for Me” campaign. The campaign highlights
Sprint’s renewed promise of working obsessively for its customers
and commitment to creating a brand experience that “works for
them.”
The new ad features the story of Topher Brophy and his
doppelganger dog, Rosenberg. In 2016, the pair found Instagram fame
for looking strikingly similar and dressing in twin outfits. They
have since amassed a social following of more than 150,000 fans and
their popularity is growing.
Topher and Rosenberg appreciate GS8’s infinity screen for
creating quality images paired with Unlimited to share with photos
and videos with their fans. With Sprint’s continued promise, Topher
and Rosenberg are satisfied customers capitalizing on Sprint’s
unbeatable two-for-one deal. The ad, created with agency, Droga5,
can be viewed here. The Topher and Rosenberg story will roll out
across national broadcast and social channels, including Facebook
Canvas, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter and YouTube, through the end
of April.
