Sprint Jointly Awarded #1 Ranking for Network Reliability in San Antonio

A top performing network and Cut Your Bill in Half offer make it a great time to switch to Sprint

Sprint today announced that its San Antonio network shares a first-place ranking for network reliability and call performance, and was awarded first place outright in text performance according to a new RootScore® Report by independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics®.

“We’ve been working locally on network improvements aimed at delivering the consistent reliability, capacity, and speed that our San Antonio customers demand,” said Joe Meyer, vice president of Sprint Network Performance. “Now with our new low-cost pricing plans, there’s never been a better time to give Sprint a try.”

In addition to offering a reliable 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 AT&T customers who switch to Sprint. The new 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.1 Sprint will pay up to $350 per line via an American Express Reward Card for a customer’s early termination fee or installment bill balance when they switch. Once a customer has received the final bill from the other carrier, he or she may simply register for the American Express Reward Card at sprint.com/join2015.2
