SPRINT PROVIDES BY-THE-MINUTE PLAN
By Adnews Staff
Sprint Canada of Toronto began offering an alternative long-distance savings plan to businesses this week. Called The Most for Business, the by-the-minute long distance savings plan features calling for business anytime, anywhere in Canada for 15 cents a minute. Calling the U.S. costs 22 cents a minute and there is a 25% discount on direct-dialed international calls. The plan is available on a one-year term basis for all businesses spending more than $1,000 a month on their voice services with Sprint. Business customers will have a choice between the by-the-minute plan or the zone-based plan. Earlier this year, the long distance phone company introduced a similar plan for residential customers. Sprint officials were unavailable to comment on advertising plans for the long-distance service. Advertising for Sprint is done by Grey Advertising of Toronto.
