Sprint’s (NYSE: S) industry leading global roaming service just
got even better. Customers with the this service automatically
receive an incredible international experience when traveling
abroad that includes free basic data coverage, free texting and
voice calling at $0.20/minutes in 165 international
destinations1.
“We heard loud and clear from our customers that international
service plans are confusing and expensive,” said Roger Solé, Sprint
chief marketing officer. “We listened and improved our global
roaming service to work for customers on their terms. Now Sprint
customers don’t have to worry about signing up for a plan before
they travel or coming home to unexpected charges. Sprint customers
automatically have access to great international services when
traveling abroad.”
With Sprint, international services simply work for customers.
There is no plan to accept and no up-front or monthly charges to
enable international service on their smartphone. Customers get
great service around the world, just like they do at home on the
Sprint network.
There are a lot of things to plan for when traveling
internationally, but wireless connectivity shouldn’t be one of
them. With Sprint, services and rates are clearly presented when
customers turn on their smartphones in a foreign country. And
customers have free access to a fantastic data management portal
which provides real-time data usage detail. The user experience is
perfectly transparent and there is no chance of data overages,
ensuring Sprint customers don’t have to worry about bill shock when
they return from their trip.
- In 165 well-traveled destinations –
more than any other carrier – Sprint customers get:
- Free basic data2
- Free text messaging
- $0.20/minute voice calling
- If customers want a fast experience,
they can purchase affordable high-speed data on-the-fly directly
from their smartphone with just a few simple clicks. No advanced
planning required. No need to call support. Sprint’s high-speed
data services now include LTE in destinations where 90 percent of
international data is used by our customers.
- Canada & Mexico: LTE high-speed
data only $2/day | $10/week
- Most other destinations: high-speed
data only $5/day | $25/week
- Sprint customers with an Unlimited
Freedom plan receive free LTE high-speed data roaming, voice
calling and text messaging while traveling in Canada and Mexico, as
well as free International long-distance from the U.S. to these
countries.
“Customers shouldn’t have to settle for tradeoffs when roaming
overseas,” said Solé. “Neither AT&T nor Verizon offer customers
a free data roaming option abroad, and T-Mobile doesn’t offer 4G
speeds outside Canada and Mexico. Sprint has more low-cost coverage
than all three competitors, and Sprint customers don’t have to make
tradeoffs. In 165 destinations, they enjoy the option to choose
between free basic data and the best rates for high-speed data,
including LTE in places where 90 percent of international data is
used by Sprint customers.”
Sprint’s international roaming enhancement is another element to
the new customer-centric approach, “Works for Me.” This approach
showcases Sprint’s renewed promise of working obsessively for its
customers and delivering solutions that “work for them” on their
terms.
