Sprint launches $50 cordless phone set for its landline-alternative service
Since 2011, Sprint's Phone Connect service has been catering to the needs of those not quite ready to ditch their desk phones. The landline alternative works with any home or cordless phone, but those who lack either might want to check out the company's new Phone Connect System, which bundles it with hardware. Anyone who signs up for the offering will get a set of two cordless phones for $50 along with a new line or an upgrade of an existing Connect contract. Take note that the amount only covers the devices, and a line will cost an additional $20 a month, excluding taxes. According to the telco, the phones work just like their traditional counterparts so there should be no learning curve -- unless it's been so long that you've forgotten how to use one.
Sprint Phone Connect 2 will try to replace your landline on October 14th
Last year, Sprint quietly stepped foot into the world of home and office phone solutions with the release of its Sprint Phone Connect service. In a nutshell, this 3G powered VOIP alternative gives would-be customers the option of transferring their existing home or office landline number to Sprint's flat rate $20 per month service. While Sprint Phone Connect may not be among the Now Network's best sellers, it's done well enough to warrant a sequel. Pictured above is an internal screenshot of the unimaginatively named Sprint Phone Connect 2. Set to release on October 14th, this new and improved hardware is packed with a set of new features: dial tone creation, voicemail notification, caller ID (number only), call waiting, call forwarding and 3-way calling. If that MagicJack isn't quite cutting the mustard and you're looking for an affordable home or office phone solution, the Sprint Phone Connect 2 can be yours for free on a two-year commitment, or $150 outright.
