New Any Mobile, Anytime Plan Also Available at No Extra Charge

HONOLULU, HI (September 24, 2009) – Sprint Hawaii launched a new cell site on the Big Island giving wireless customers greater cell coverage along Saddle Road, the cross-island highway between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa that many locals use as a shortcut to travel between Hilo and Kona. These wireless network improvements will keep customers connected to the Internet, e-mail, GPS services, messaging, social networks and more.

The better service is all part of Sprint plans for local network enhancements. During 2008, Sprint invested $11.5 million in the Hawaii metro market for network expansion and enhancements for its Sprint Nationwide Network and Nextel National Network. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009, Sprint added multiple wireless cell sites and continues to invest millions of dollars to enhance the Nationwide Sprint Network in Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island.

Local network enhancements include:

• Kilauea, Princeville, Lihue, Poipu and Grove Farm on Kauai
• Kapalua and Hosmers Grove on Maui
• Paaloa and Kona on Hawaii
• Turtle Bay and Kapalama on Oahu

Any Mobile, AnytimeSM

Sprint Hawaii also launched another wireless innovation, Any Mobile, AnytimeSM, a new feature of Sprint Everything Data plans. With the new Any Mobile, Anytime, Sprint customers get unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling from the Sprint Network to ANY wireless phone on any U.S. wireless carrier network at any time. Sprint says, go ahead – call all 250 million wireless customers anytime!

“Wireless customers don’t want to hassle with keeping track of who they have called and if those clients, co-workers, friends or family members are on the same plan,” says Sprint Hawaii general manager Dale Goya. “Any Mobile, Anytime is cost effective and hassle-free.”
