OVERLAND PARK (dpa-AFX) - Sprint (S) said it will transform forever the way customers buy or upgrade their mobile phones, tablets and other connected devices with the introduction of Sprint Direct 2 You.
Sprint noted that it is bringing an in-store experience to the comfort of a customer's own home, office or other location they choose with this service that is unlike anything else in wireless today.
With Sprint Direct 2 You, a Sprint-trained expert will bring a Sprint mobile device to a customer's location, set it up and transfer all of their content, including contacts, pictures, videos and apps, from their old device to a new one. The experience also includes the Sprint expert performing a tutorial and offering tips to help the customer become familiar with using the new mobile device.
The new service is expected to place about 5,000 Sprint Direct 2 You cars in major metropolitan areas by the end of the year to make wireless shopping more convenient.
The national rollout of Sprint Direct 2 You begins today in Sprint's hometown - the Kansas City metropolitan area - for upgrade-eligible customers.
On April 20, Sprint Direct 2 You will be available in the Chicago and Miami markets, with expansion nationally expected to follow throughout 2015.
