Sprint Offers Amazon Prime Sub To Customers Fayette Advocate

"Amazon Prime is another example of the innovative options that Sprint delivers every day to its customers", said Marcelo Claure, Sprint's CEO, in a statement. 

Sprint also said that the Amazon Prime add-on offer will also give its customers the flexibility of trying out the Prime service and terminating its subscription any time they want. 

"The mobile entertainment era is in prime time", said Harry Wang, director-Mobility Research at Dallas-based technology consulting firm Parks Associates. This is useful for people who want a Prime membership for the three months leading up to the Christmas season or if you're going on Spring Break and need to keep the kids entertained.
