Sprint Extends Customer Credit to Support Latest Earthquake in Nepal

Due to another powerful earthquake, Sprint (NYSE: S) is waiving and crediting calls and text messages made by Sprint customers to Nepal – retroactive from April 25, now continuing through June 1, 2015. Sprint originally announced it would waive customer fees through May 16, 2015 but has extended the timeline to ensure critical contact with family, friends and emergency personnel can be maintained. During times of emergency, it has been shown that text messages may go through when calling capabilities aren't available and may help free up networks for critical communication between first responders, other emergency personnel and aid workers. Calling and texting to Nepal without charges applies to all postpaid and prepaid customers of Sprint, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile USA.
