Sprint Plays Favorites, Goes Head To Head With T-Mobile, Alltel
October 28, 2007
It’s called Sprint Pick 3 and if you have Sprint for your mobile service, listen up. In an as-of-yet unannounced promotion, Sprint customers with plans totaling over $40 per month now have the option to pick 3 numbers as their ‘favorites’. Customers with plans under $40 have the option to add this feature for $5 per month extra.
So what exactly does this do for you? This means unlimited calling to and from 3 numbers. Assuming that most people have plans that are over $40 a month, this works out to be a pretty decent deal as T-Mobile charges an additional $10/month and Alltel will set you back a $20 premium.
While the plans are not identical, differing in large part by the 2 additional favorites offered by Sprint’s competitors, the pricing is clearly the angle here. Apparently the no. 3 wireless carrier is trying to pull out all of the stops to reduce customer churn and appeal to potential wireless customers. Now all they need to do is advertise it…

I bet you will have to sign a new two year contract with the option so us existing customers will really not benefit from this promo
