Sprint Suddenly Ends MVNO Agreement With PrePaYd Wireless
Humberto Saabedra
Within the last 72 hours, former Sprint-powered MVNO PrepaYd Wireless has suddenly ended business activity and released a memo to dealers explaining its side of the rapidly-developing situation after ceasing all business. The notice to dealers, first obtained by PrepaidPhoneNews is posted below:
We regret to inform you that Sprint has terminated PrepaYd Wireless’ Sprint MVNO Agreement and that we will no longer be able to activate new customers on PrepaYd Wireless. We have suspended all Top Ups and activations. We have made the Account Numbers available for you Customers in the Dealer Portal under the Customer Report. We are in the process of filing an Anti-Trust Claim against Sprint for what we believe have been anti-competitive and unfair business practices by Sprint to PrepaYd, Wireless Customers, Wireless Dealers, and to other Sprint MVNOs. If you have felt that at any point Sprint has harmed you or your customers in any way to contact us at mvnofraud@prepaydinc.com.
In addition, PrepaYd Wireless has also released a press release reiterating the above memo and explicitly asks employees of other MVNOs to join its antitrust suit and openly make any similar claims against Sprint. The carrier has not yet commented on the recent actions of PrepaYd Wireless.
