$15 Long Distant for PCS customers

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I know that this group is for PCS, but I received a promo card offering a
rate of $15 per month for unlimited calls for my home phone.
Does anyone use that plan/offer? Any problems switching from local
service?
I'm in Conn.

Thanks,

Mike R

Read that card again. I'm 90% sure it's only offering local toll and
Long Distance. Local service would be through another provider.

Unless you're in a market where Sprint is one of the local dialtone providers.
Las Vegas is the biggest such market and there are plenty of smaller towns
where Sprint is the ILEC, and there are probably a number of big cities where
Sprint competes for local dialtone with one of the Baby Bells.

However, the telcos' unlimited local/long-distance packages normally run
about $50-60, so I don't think the described package includes local non-toll
calling either.

One of the packages we in SPCS upsell is an unlimited local toll/long
distance package for the home phone that's $15/month. So that adds
to my doubts, too.

I have such a card (LIT66702) and it says the $15 per month is for
"unlimited domestic long distance calling from your home phone on:
- State-to-state calls
- In-state calls
- Local toll calls (where available)"

For $18/month it also includes discounted rates on international
calling. It's not for local service.

I didn't choose it because between all our SPCS minutes and our Sprint
50-at-home deal, I only pay $0-5/month for Sprint LD.

You folks are correct.
I did not include, but should have, that the offer is ONLY for LD.
Sorry for the confusion.
Local is still thru SBC here in Conn.

Thanks,
