State Joins Sprint's
PCS Network
HARTFORD - To promote the launch of its digital wireless phone service in Connecticut, Sprint is offering consumers and businesses in Hartford (the service will be extended to New Haven and Bridgeport by year's end) an introductory package that includes 300 minutes of talk time each month for $30 and toll-free calling for ten area codes. Sprint says the advanced PCS technology provides clearer, more secure connections and virtually eliminates the cross-talk and static common to conventional cellular phone systems. The city-by-city launch is the first phase of Sprint's plan to offer a nationwide PCS service using a single technology.
