Sprint Gives Student Discount

Students who are members of institutions that are a part of MiCTA will now receive a discount on their cell phone bills. This discount will range from a percentage off their bill to a waiver of set up fees.

MiCTA is a national association whose members are from higher education, healthcare, libraries, K-12 schools, government and other not for profit organizations that are joined together to help with telecommunications issues.

Sprint and MiCTA have been partners since 1989 and is also their exclusive wireless service providers and is also considered a preferred wired service provider.

Now, in order to offer students a cell phone plan that won’t break their budget but will still allow them to stay in touch with their friends and family, they have formed another agreement with MiCTA.

New Agreement

Under this new partnering agreement, student of MiCTA will receive a discount on cell phone service with these additional perks:

• 10% discount for rate plans;
• No activations fees for student – this amounts to instant $36 cost savings;
• Deeper discounts available for add-on services such as Vision services;

Institutions who market the program will receive administrative fees based on new student activations.

Sprint and Education
Sprint has been a strong voice in education matters and is constantly looking for new ways to serve the educational community and their higher education customers. Keeping students and their families connected is high on the priority list.

MiCTA has continued to focus on quality service and products at outstanding prices for its membership in the areas of voice, data and video. The continuing growth of MiCTA has brought Sprint, already a long time partner, even tighter into their circle with the offering of the discount for students.

Expanding their partnership with MiCTA affirms this dedication and provides the opportunity for more students to become Sprint clients even in the midst of economic strife. Offering discounts allows student more opportunity to focus on education and less on finances. Sprint’s discount for students pushes the envelope one step further in advancing the company.
