Sprint today announced that its network in Lansing, Michigan, received
shared 1st place rankings for call and text performance,
according to a new
RootScore® Report by independent mobile analytics firm
RootMetrics®. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, a new
RootScore Report also shows Sprint received a shared 1st
place ranking for call performance, as well as an outright 1st
place win in text performance.
In Lansing, Sprint shares the Call RootScore Award for the third
consecutive test period, and in this most recent test did not record any
blocked calls. Sprint shares the Text RootScore Award for the second
consecutive test period in Lansing; and won it outright in Grand Rapids
for a second consecutive test period. Earlier this month Sprint reported
shared 1st place rankings for reliability, call and text
performance in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In 89 other markets measured in the first half of 2015, Sprint has been
awarded a total of 120 first place (outright or shared) RootScore Awards
for overall, reliability, speed, data, call, or text network performance.1
“Our Michigan network gets better every day as we work to deliver the
consistent reliability, capacity, and speed that our customers demand,”
said Scott Santi, vice president of Sprint’s network in the North
Region. “We’re pleased with these latest results for call and text, and
we’re laser-focused on improving data speeds as we further invest in our
Michigan network.”
Best Value in Wireless
In addition to offering a significantly improved network, Sprint is
committed to providing consumers the best value in wireless. With the Cut
Your Bill in Half Event, Sprint will cut in half the monthly rate
plan for Verizon and ATT customers who switch to Sprint when they bring
in their current bill and their old phones. The offer provides unlimited
talk and text to anywhere in the U.S. while on the Sprint network –
regardless of a customer’s current plan – and matches the customer’s
data allowance for half the cost they are currently paying for their
monthly rate plan.2 Sprint will reimburse all of the costs to
switch, including early termination fees and remaining payments on phone
installment plans – no matter what is owed. Sprint will reimburse the
switching costs within approximately 15 days of successfully completing
the online
registration and providing a bill that shows the early termination
charge or device balance due via an American Express Reward card.3
