Business Wire
After a week of record-area rain in the Houston area, Sprint
(NYSE:S) is assisting local customers who have been impacted by the
floods. The company is offering affected data customers a service
credit of up to $50 per device for a limited time. Affected Sprint
customers should visit a Houston-area Sprint store in order to
receive the credit.
Additionally, impacted Sprint customers will receive up to 50
percent discounts on select charging accessories1, from April 21,
2016 through May 4, 2016. And, Sprint is helping to collect food
donations in its stores across Houston in support of Kids’ Meals on
Wheels which is still providing meals and deliveries to families as
the city continues to recover from this tragedy.
“Sprint is an integral part of the Houston community, so it’s
important to us that we step in and do our part to help,” said John
Stevens, Sprint’s Region President for Central Texas. “One of the
best ways we can help demonstrate our commitment to Houston is by
providing some relief to Sprint customers and our employees who are
affected by the devastation.”
During natural disasters like floods, Sprint reminds customers
of several steps they can take to prepare:
- Keep your wireless phone and backup
batteries charged, but be aware that an interruption of wireline
and commercial power could affect wireless calls.
- If possible, get extra batteries and
charge them.
- In times of commercial power outages, a
car adapter for your wireless phone should enable you to recharge
the battery.
- Keep phones and necessary accessories
in a sealed plastic bag to avoid water damage.
- Load family and emergency numbers into
your wireless phone.
- Wireless networks sometimes experience
heavy voice traffic during emergency events, so try sending a text
message rather than making a call.
