Sprint Nextel: Corporate Summary

Sprint Nextel Corporation is based in Overland Park, Kansas (A suburb of Kansas City, MO), and is one of the largest American telecommunications companies. It was formed in 2005 by a $35 billion merger between previously separate Sprint and Nextel corporations.

The newly formed company operates landline and long distance services, as well as the third largest cellular network in the United States. The Sprint PCS brand has grown steadily over the years, and Sprint cell phones are trusted to be highly reliable devices.

Because of this, Sprint Nextel is doing a very good job of holding its share of the US wireless market. Of course, they still have to compete with Verizon cell phones and Cingular cell phones, which is no easy task.

As with any wireless carrier, Sprint puts a lot of time into deciding which phones will sell best on their network. They work with handset makers like Motorola and Nokia to come up with the best and most user-friendly devices for customers.
