Full Movie Downloads now Available for Sprint Customers
September 5th, 2006
Sprint announced today the launch of its new pay per view movie download service; making Sprint the first US wireless provider to offer full length movie downloads available for mobile phones.
Sprint Movies features many of the same conveniences as a DVD player. A movie can be seen in its entirety all at once, or it can be divided into chapters and watched over time. Customers can play, pause and skip forward or backward to different chapters. They can also resume a movie at the exact point where it was last shut down.
Sprint Movies cost between $3.99 and $5.99 each. Customers can view the movie for unlimited times within a set period, which varies between 24 hours and one week depending on the title. In addition, 24-hour titles include the option of purchasing up to two 24-hour viewing extensions at the rate of $.99.
Sprint Movies is available on select Sprint multimedia handsets and can be watched anywhere while on Sprint’s Power Vision network or nationwide Vision network. Sprint being family conscious has edited the content, when necessary, to meet TV-14 standards.
