What’s Hot?Sprint Port in CreditAny Corporate-Liable business customer who ports their existing number from anotherwireless carrier to Sprint and activates on any Sprint PDA, Voice line, Sprint Phone connect, connection card, tablet, or netbook device will receive a service credit. This credit will be $100 each for devices ported in a calendar month. Example: If you have 50 Mobile Broadband cards with another provider, switch them to Sprint and receive 50 FREE connection cards, and a $100 Service credit for each line (credit will appear on the bill that arrives after the line has been ported for 61 days).

Apple iPad Mini & 4th Generation iPadSprint is announcing that we now offer the Apple iPad Mini and 4th Generation iPad

Machine to Machine (M2M) – The Future of Wireless Communications:M2M is machine-to-machine communications where one or both ends of a connection is a device whose primary function is the transfer of real-time wireless data through embedded wireless, local or wide-area networking. Applications of M2M include Digital Signage, Fleet Management, Asset Tracking, Metering, Security, Remote Patient Monitoring, Emergency, Public Transport and more.

Imagine any aspect of your business in which a process could stand for improvement through automation. Imagine any challenge you face, where an internet connected device would alleviate the issue.

The Sprint M2M group’s primary function is to take your idea or challenge, and make it a reality. Our goal is to gather data from ANY application (be it how many times a door opens to how many times a coin drops in a machine to giving internet to a kiosk application) and provide real time two-way information.

Current examples of M2M that I am working on are: Wireless backup, Digital signage, Remote Patient Monitoring, Remote Monitoring of video surveillance, Vehicle Monitoring for diagnostics, distracted driving, and Hours of Service, and Energy Management to control costs.

Please visit http://m2m.sprint.com/?ECID=vanity:m2m for information and contact me to discuss your ideas.

Remote Patient Monitoring New Solution Highlight:

Updates to Business ServicesWiFi:Wi-Fi preserves battery life because less power is used by your device than when using the network for data. This also allows you to surf the web and talk on the phone at the same time. This also can reduce data charges for tablets and netbooks not on an unlimited plan.

PHONE INSURANCE (TEP) Only $8 per user per monthTotal Equipment Protection (TEP) has been beefed up with more added services than just insuring your phone in the event of loss or damage.

You can now find your misplaced phone with an audible alarm even if the phone is on vibrate or silent mode. The phone has to be turned on to use this.

You can locate your phone on a map using GPS technology. You can remotely lock a misplaced phone. You can wirelessly sync, manage, and restore your contacts.

This can all be done online through your sprint.com account.

411:411 can be a very costly expense each month for businesses at $1.99 per call. There is a free service that you can use in lieu of the traditional 411 call. Simply dial 800-BING-411 (800-2464-411) from your device instead to get the information that you need.

U.S. “Green” Environmental RankingsToday, Newsweek released its annual Green Rankings list , which rates the sustainability efforts of the 500 largest publicly traded corporations in the U.S. I am pleased to share that for the fourth consecutive year, Sprint was named one of Newsweek’s greenest companies. This year, we came in at No. 3 and were the only wireless carrier to break the top 25.

Today’s Newsweek ranking comes to us on the heels of several other environmentally focused accomplishments. Earlier this year, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency named us No. 4 (and the only wireless provider) on its Top 20 Technology and Telecom list for the Green Power Partners Program. This summer, independent analyst firm Verdantix recognized us as the top U.S. wireless provider for corporate-sustainability performance. And, of course, for the last two years, Compass Intelligence has named our Sprint Buyback program as the best phone trade-in program in the industry. I hope that you are as proud of these achievements as the rest of the executive lead team and I are.

Newsweek’s Green Rankings are based a number of criteria, including efforts in which Sprint has shown leadership for year. In particular, we have made significant progress in these areas:· Electronic-waste reduction: We are the first and only U.S. wireless carrier to outline

specific commitments that address electronic waste (e-waste) holistically by focusing on the full lifecycle of the electronics we buy and sell. Through efforts like our Electronics Stewardship Policy and our industry-leading Sprint Buyback program, we continue to lead the industry in e-waste reduction. To date, Sprint Buyback has diverted millions of phones from landfills. The program has put more than $75 million back in customers’ pockets just this year. Along with Sprint’s other device take-back programs, it’s also helped Sprint avoid more than $1 billion dollars in costs through reuse and recycling.

· Sustainable devices: By working with Underwriters Laboratory Environment (ULE), we were able to help create the first environmental standard for wireless mobile phones: ULE 110, which was launched in early 2011. Today, we have achieved ULE 110 certification for more than 80 percent of the devices we offer customers.

· Greenhouse gas emissions: Sprint has the most aggressive greenhouse gas emission-reduction goals of any U.S. wireless carrier. We were the first U.S. carrier to publicly announce an absolute emission reduction goal. By the end of 2011, we were halfway toward meeting our goal of a 20 percent absolute emission reduction by 2017.
