OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,
Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Sprint (NYSE: S) – Just in time for the upcoming holidays,
Sprint provides one of the best gifts for Hispanic families – the
opportunity to call friends and family members internationally at
no charge. For a limited time, new customers who switch to any
eligible1 Sprint plan will receive 500 FREE minutes of
calling every month through 2015 to mobile phones and landlines in
Mexico and 9 additional Hispanic
and Latin American countries, including the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Spain and Brazil with the launch of its Sprint Mexico
& More 500 international add-on. After the 500 minutes each
month, calls to Mexico are just
$.01 per minute and low per minute
rates are offered to the 9 other countries. The promotion runs
through December 5, 2014 and the
offer is good through December 31,
2015. After December 31, 2015,
customers will pay just $5 per month
for the plan. Existing Sprint customers can also add Sprint Mexico
& More 500 for $5 per month with
a qualifying plan.
"In the U.S., 36 percent of Hispanics are foreign-born and rely
on their mobile phones to stay connected, especially in those
special moments when they can't physically be there. As a Latino, I
know first-hand the need to communicate with loved ones
internationally and how our mobile phones and a great plan can be
the bridge that connects us to those we care about," said
Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO.
"Starting today, Sprint will offer an even more convenient and
cost-effective international calling plan with the launch of the
Sprint Mexico & More 500 add-on. Our commitment to the Hispanic
consumer is to continue to deliver more mobile for your money,
offering exceptional value in national and international calling
plans to truly meet all communication needs on America's Newest
Network."

and they get just that with the Sprint Mexico & More 500
add-on. Customers receive over 8 hours (500 minutes) of smiles,
laughter and joy not only because they get to listen to the voices
of friends and family in Latin American, but because they get to do
