Sprint Drops Free & Clear Plans

Jul 12, 2005, 4:22 PM by (staff)

Sprint has chosen to simplify their rate plans by eliminating Free & Clear plans for new subscribers. The move comes thanks to the popularity of their Fair & Flexible plans, which offers subscribers a base amount of minutes and then adds buckets of 100-200 minutes for those who use more for a low price. Not only do these plans lower overage charges for customers, but they also increase customer satisfaction. Although the move to Fair & Flexible is now standard, it has been the primary plan of Sprint stores and resellers for some time since its introduction.

I'd say that is a fairly bad guess, considering the FCC hasn't even approved the merger yet. It's much to soon, to talk about sprint/nextel combined plans or what have you.
