53 Million Americans Invited to Share what SprintSpeed Delivers in National Competition
RESTON, Va. — 07/23/2007 – How are you living life at SprintSpeed? Sprint (NYSE:S) is giving its 53 million customers an opportunity to answer this question for a chance to win the latest phones, cash prizes and more. Whether it’s teaching your grandfather how to text message so he can keep in touch while you’re away at school, navigating with a mobile GPS application in an unfamiliar city on your way to a last-minute client meeting, or diverting a business catastrophe while away from the office using Sprint Mobile Broadband service. Each one of these scenarios underscores the importance of wireless technology for Americans.
Dubbed “SprintSpeed Stories????,” the competition seeks customers to submit their own interesting and unique stories on how Sprint’s wireless technology has enhanced their lives for a chance to win one of several prize packages and the $5,000 grand prize. SprintSpeed Stories follows on the heels of the 2006 Sprint Productivity Survey which found that 84 percent of the American wireless subscribers polled say technology is vital to their productivity and helps them get the most of their lives in and out of work. Most notably, the survey revealed that mobile phones are being used to text message, send and receive e-mail, get the news, access the Wireless Web, listen to music, watch live TV and on-demand video and other crucial applications for the wireless lifestyle. Life goes by fast, and SprintSpeed puts business and consumers in control so they can live life at their speed.
“Being able to do things easily and quickly today is a key part of our lives, both at work and at home,” said Bill White, senior vice president for communications at Sprint. “Our customers tell us the solutions we provide add value to their lives – giving them greater flexibility and more time in their day. So, the way we see it, customers sharing their stories will inspire others to find new ways to use wireless in their own lives.”
