Sprint is making a one-time offer exclusively to DirecTV customers that gives them free service for a full year when switching to Sprint. This strategy is an effort to lure away customers after AT&T’s acquisition of DirecTV, and offers customers 12 months of unlimited voice calls, text messages and 2 gigabytes of data.
DirecTV customers need to show a copy of their recent DirecTV bill to verify their status to qualify for the offer. Customers also need to sign up for a leasing program, a monthly installment program for their smartphone, or buy a new smartphone. A household can sign up a maximum of 5 lines, each free for a year. In addition to that, Sprint said it will buy customers out of their existing contracts or pay up to $300 for an existing smartphone.
“DIRECTV customers love their TV service – but they shouldn’t have to settle for AT&T wireless,” said Kevin Crull, chief marketing officer, Sprint.
“Why not build the perfect bundle by combining with Sprint wireless? We’re winning awards across the country because our network has never been stronger, faster or more reliable, and our customers have never been more satisfied.”
In order to get the offer, qualified DirecTV customers need to upload their recent DirecTV bill at www.sprint.com/directvoffer. After that, they can go to Sprint.com or call Sprint Telesales to obtain the offer. Another option is to visit your local Sprint store and log on to your DirecTV account online to show verification and then sign up. Note that there is a one-time $36 activation fee and monthly taxes and surcharges that Sprint’s offer does not cover.
