Quotes
“With our new Sprint Direct 2 You fleet of cars, it’s as if we are adding 5,000 additional stores. However, these mobile stores will be continuously on the move based on customer demand.” – Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure

“We’re constantly listening to our customers, and we learn from them what they want in a great wireless phone experience so that we can remove their pain points,” Claure said. “As a result, we created Sprint Direct 2 You, a whole new way of buying wireless. With Direct 2 You, Sprint brings an amazing, convenient in-store experience directly to the customer – in the comfort of wherever they want to be.

Direct 2 You: How it will work

Qualified customers receive an offer via text or email to upgrade their phone.
Customers call the Sprint phone number in the text or email to take advantage of the offer and schedule an appointment for this free service.
A Direct 2 You Expert arrives when and where the customer requests, sets up and activates the new phone, transferring all contacts and data from the old phone, then personalizes the new device to the customer’s specifications.
Customers can choose to turn in their old phones for recycling or reuse.

Why Direct 2 You?

Time is the most precious asset for current and future Sprint customers who find it inconvenient to visit a store.
- Customers have shared that they are reluctant to order online and receive a new device at home because it is challenging to start using it without help. It’s not easy to transfer the contacts, pictures, videos, apps and other content from an old device to a new one.
Setting up a new phone and learning how to use new features also can be difficult, and these functions are usually performed in a store.
- Sprint teams listened to these customer concerns and invented Sprint Direct 2 You, transforming the way American wireless consumers will shop for smartphones and other mobile devices.
The Sprint experts are particularly skilled in helping customers make the switch from a phone using the Android operating system to one running on Apple’s iOS, or vice versa.
- While this can be a complex process, the expert will manage it to make it easy for the customer.
