Sprint Invites Ghosts and Goblins for Early Bird Trick-or-Treating

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Stay safe and have fun this Halloween with Sprint (NYSE:S, news, filings) Tracker, a simple device that can attach to kids, pets, bikes and even trick-or-treat bags and provide real-time location tracking. Tracker works with Safe & Found, Sprint’s family tracking and parental control app  that easily allows parents to monitor their little trick-or-treaters while they are on the Sprint LTE Network. Just in time for Halloween, customers can pick up a free Tracker (a $60 value) this weekend when they sign up for Safe & Found (30 days for free)1.

When trick-or-treaters stop by a Sprint store to pick up their Tracker, they can also grab a free Halloween safety kit. This kit includes a reflective bag, blinking safety light and, of course, candy – with no purchase necessary. But hurry, these are only available Oct. 25-27 while supplies last.

Tracker is an ideal device for Halloween:

  • Real-time location tracking with a long battery life
  • Personalized safety zones and notifications
  • Water-resistant
  • Location updates even if you are miles away
  • Tracks historical data
  • Built-in light sensor detection
  • Check-ins and other alerts

Powered by the Safe & Found app, Tracker is one of the leading parental and safety solutions on the market. With Safe & Found, users can simultaneously locate their Tracker and receive location updates for smartphones and tablets – super convenient. Unlike other devices that rely solely on Bluetooth, Tracker – when combined with Safe & Found – provides users location updates from miles away.

“Halloween is a fun holiday that can sometimes be stressful for parents,” said Doug Smith, vice president of marketing, Sprint. “We want to alleviate that worry with our technology that gives parents peace of mind on Halloween and throughout the year. With Tracker combined with Safe & Found, you can know the location of children, pets and virtually anything else, all in a single app.”

For some extra Halloween punch, customers can get $1002 for every line they activate with a phone on a lease when they bring their number from another wireless carrier. The more lines someone activates, the more savings they get. Offer valid this weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, in Sprint stores only. Plus, Sprint will have special offers on tablets this weekend, too!
