the South Region. “We’re pleased with these latest results for
reliability, call and text, and we’re laser-focused on improving
data speeds as we further invest in our Daytona Beach 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
