Sprint Offers New Frequent Call Options

Sprint introduced new options for its wireless subscribers Wednesday, including two plans that would allow the user to make unlimited calls to a pre-designated phone number for an additional fee. These calls would not be taken out of the customer's monthly minute allowance. The consumer option costs $5 per month, and business customers with a rate plan of $49.99 or higher could add it for $8 per month.

Sprint has plans to extend the business option to nearly 30,000 known DIDs later this year. This would mean a customer could call anyone within their company that uses a PBX system without using their minutes. Sprint said it would also soon offer a special deal to consumers where the option would be bundled with home long distance service.
