Sprint Newsroom: Sprint Brings 4G LTE to customers in Hutchinson and McPherson, Kan.

Sprint Nextel Corporation has posted the following release to its Newsroom website:

Sprint Brings 4G LTE to customers in Hutchinson and McPherson, Kan.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), October 22, 2012 - Sprint (NYSE:S) today announced that customers in Hutchinson and McPherson will have access to its new high-speed 4G LTE service – bringing faster speeds for mobile gaming, uploading photos, surfing the Web and streaming videos. Continuing its nationwide roll-out of 4G LTE, Sprint recently announced its plans to deliver 4G LTE to an additional 115 cities in the coming months.

"Customers all over Kansas are eager for 4G LTE, so we are excited to deliver it to these two cities," said Rob Bryant, regional vice president, Sprint. "Sprint's high-speed network combined with winning devices and unlimited data plans make an attractive package for our customers." Sprint also offers 4G LTE service in Kansas City, Lawrence, Manhattan-Junction City, Topeka and Wichita. Current 4G LTE coverage will continue to expand in the coming weeks and months in the Hutchinson and McPherson areas.

Keeping up with current wireless data usage and looking into the future, Sprint is building an all-new 3G and 4G LTE network as part of a strategy known as Network Vision. This network build-out is expected to improve all aspects of the wireless experience for customers.

Today, some customers in parts of Chicago, Los Angeles and New York are experiencing better 3G service thanks to the start of the Network Vision program in those areas. Additionally, customers in areas of Baltimore, Boston and Washington, D.C., have been enjoying enhanced 3G performance. As Network Vision continues to rollout across the country, Sprint customers can expect to see significant improvement in their 3G network experience, including expanded coverage, improved network reliability, better voice quality, and faster 3G data speeds.

Sprint offers a wide selection of 4G LTE smartphones, Truly Unlimited^SM data plans and excellent customer service. Sprint offers a portfolio of 4G LTE-capable devices, which includes powerhouse smartphones such as the packed Samsung Galaxy Victory™ 4G LTE, HTC EVO™ 4G LTE, and the upcoming LG Optimus G™ (coming soon). Customers can sign up for an Everything Data plan with Any Mobile, Anytime^SM, which includes unlimited Web, texting and calling to and from any mobile in America while on the Sprint Network, starting at just $79.99 per month for smartphones – a savings of $20 per month versus Verizon's comparable plan with unlimited talk, text and 2GB Web (excludes taxes and surcharges). Customers value Truly Unlimited data, because it's simple and straightforward – no metering, no throttling or overages, and no need to share minutes or data, all while on the Sprint network.

Additionally, the 2012 American Customer Satisfaction Index ranked Sprint No. 1 among all national carriers in customer satisfaction and most improved, across all 47 industries, during the last four years.

Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and currently offers service in 32 cities¹. For the most up-to-date details on Sprint's 4G LTE portfolio and rollout, visit www.sprint.com/4GLTE.

Sprint Newsroom: Samsung Galaxy Note II with Sprint 4G LTE Available Oct. 25 for $299.99

Sprint Nextel Corporation has posted the following release to its Newsroom website:

Samsung Galaxy Note II with Sprint 4G LTE Available Oct. 25 for $299.99

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), October 16, 2012 - Sprint (NYSE:S), the only national carrier with Truly Unlimited^SM 4G LTE data, text and calling to any mobile, today announced an availability date for Samsung Galaxy Note^® II. Beginning Oct. 25, it can be purchased for $299.99 with a new line or eligible upgrade and two-year service agreement (excludes taxes and surcharges) for either color option – Marble White or Titanium Gray.

Manufactured by Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile), the No.1 mobile phone provider in the United States, Galaxy Note II will boast several firsts for Sprint – first to launch with Android™ 4.1.1, Jelly Bean; first smartphone display larger than 5 inches; and first device to launch with a quad-core processor.

With the latest HD Super AMOLED™ screen technology powering the device's 5.5-inch 720p display, images are bigger, clearer and brighter than ever. Performance and power are built-in on Galaxy Note II with Samsung's Exynos™ 1.6GHz quad-core processor, a long-lasting battery, blazing fast 4G /LTE network speeds, and international voice and data capable compatibility with GSM/UMTS/CDMA networks.

Galaxy Note II comes with a built-in S Pen™ that is longer, thicker and ergonomically designed for the perfect grip. Its advanced features also provide enhanced capabilities to capture ideas and inspirations instantly and to combine handwriting with any digital content directly on the screen. Galaxy Note II features an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera with HD video recording. The camera's powerful features include Buddy Photo Share, Burst Shot and Best Photo, which were introduced on Galaxy S III in June.

With the diverse mix of mobile devices being used in the workplace, companies must be assured about the security of corporate data and applications available on the devices. Earlier this year, Sprint introduced a designation for select smartphones, including Galaxy Note II, that deliver enhanced security, device management and Exchange Active Sync capabilities to business customers, Sprint Professional Grade.

Following the same business-friendly path, Galaxy Note II is a SAFE™ (Samsung for Enterprise) device, providing the ability to securely sync corporate email, calendars, contacts and sensitive information. SAFE provides a comprehensive approach to making Android devices more secure and manageable for business users. With a thorough quality assurance process in place to test and confirm the Note II enterprise capabilities, SAFE systematically meets the rapidly evolving needs of IT and the growing number of businesses allowing employees to "bring your own device" (BYOD) to work.

Enjoy Data without Limits

Samsung Galaxy Note II customers can enjoy an unlimited data experience with Sprint Everything Data plans. Sprint's Everything Data plan with Any Mobile, Anytime^SM includes unlimited Web, texting and calling to and from any mobile in America while on the Sprint Network, starting at just $79.99 per month for smartphones – a savings of $20 per month versus Verizon's comparable plan with unlimited talk, text and 2GB Web (excludes taxes and surcharges). With Sprint's Everything Data and other plans that include Truly Unlimited data, Sprint is continuing its history of data leadership by making it easy for its customers to use data in all the ways that are useful to them, such as news, email, music, TV and GPS navigation, without worrying about data overages on their monthly bill.

Sprint 4G LTE is available in 24 citiesⁱ and is expected to be in more than 100 additional cities in coming months. Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and expects to have largely completed the nationwide build-out by the end of 2013.
