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.
