Sprint and Cingular today announced expanded roaming agreements with rival Alltel.
The Sprint and Alltel 10-year agreement is effective July 1, 2006, and encompasses CDMA voice, data and EV-DO high-speed mobile data services.Alltel also said that it had also expanded a roaming agreement with Cingular Wireless, a venture of AT&T Inc. and BellSouth Corp. until 2012. Roaming agreements are common in the U.S. wireless industry, allowing customers to use rival networks in areas where their own provider has yet to build a network. "The new agreement expands our current voice and data roaming relationship while providing customers greater access to services in more places," said Len Lauer, chief operating officer for Sprint. "Our technology alignment ensures an improved seamless roaming experience for text messaging, call/messaging notification and mobile broadband services."
