Carrier News, Sprint PCS:
  
November 14, 2003 UNLIMITED
NIGHTS STARTING @ 7PM
Bells will be ringing and cash registers will be humming this holiday season, but Sprint PCS is doing everything in its power to keep its customers from switching. The latest: The carrier has made the night a little longer by extending its unlimited night time calling offer by two hours.
The special offer, available to new and existing subscribers, gives PCS customers the option to start their unlimited evening calling plan at 7 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. The add-on option will run customers an additional $5 a month. For example, customers subscribing to a $45 a month plan that provides 500 anytime minutes and unlimited weekends and nights (starting at 9 p.m.) can upgrade to the 7 p.m. night time start for $5 more and pay $50 a month for service.
"We are always working to be competitive in the market," Sprint PCS spokesman Dan Wilinsky tells news@2. "As we are entering the holiday season, we want to make sure our offers match the competition."
T-Mobile USA recently unveiled a promotion that extends the weekend by another day, with its unlimited weekend minutes starting at 12:01 a.m. on Friday instead of Saturday.
In addition to longer nights, Sprint PCS also is offering discounts for family-plan subscribers. The move follows similar rate cuts by rivals T-Mobile, Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless Inc.
The Sprint PCS promotions are slated to run until Jan. 3, 2004.
Customer retention is an important part of Sprint PCS' business, according to Wilinsky. "Just as Wendy's offers Biggie Size, we Right Size (customers') plans," he says. The carrier communicates regularly, especially with high-value customers, to make sure they are on the plan that best suits their calling needs, Wilinsky says.
The LNP deadline goes into effect Nov. 24, and it is likely more promotional offers will be rolled out by carriers to keep customers from exercising their new-found right to take their number with them when they switch carriers.
Sprint PCS Moves Aggressively on Pricing
Friday November 14, 12:30 am ET
Less than two weeks before new number-portability rules are
scheduled to take effect, Sprint PCS has unveiled aggressive
pricing plans for its wireless services, offering unlimited
evening calling beginning 7 p.m. instead of 9 p.m., and deeply
discounting its family-plan rates, Friday's Wall Street Journal
reported.
The moves by Sprint are the latest in a frenzy of promotional
activity by wireless carriers as they prepare for new Federal
Communications Commission (News
- Websites)
rules that kick in on Nov. 24, allowing most telephone customers
to change providers but keep their numbers. The new rules are
expected to lead to higher costs and slimmer profits across the
wireless industry, and carriers are frantically offering new
promotions to persuade customers to stay.
Like its competitors, Sprint has offered unlimited calling on
weekday evenings, beginning at 9 p.m., and all weekend. Now, new
or existing Sprint customers will be able to start that unlimited
calling at 7 p.m. for an extra $5 a month, which the carrier says
responds to a big demand from its customers, particularly on the
West Coast. Cingular Wireless has offered customers the ability to
start such calling at 7 p.m. for an additional $7 a month since
earlier this year. T-Mobile USA Inc. last month started
"weekend" calling on Thursday night.
