Sprint offers your name as your number for $3 a month
Share:
This is a collaboration between Sprint and Palo Alto company Zoove holding millions of such numbers, where you dial twice asterisk and follow up with numbers matching the name.
Zoove saw an opportunity in partnering with Sprint as it has only sold thousands of its millions of numbers.
 |
When dialling such a number, the phone will either ring or you can have an app send an automated message as an answer or a text.
Would you spend $3 on pimping out your number like this?

Can't say I'm intrigued by the concept; my contact book and all kinds of quick-dial widgets are more than easy enough.
On another (much more compelling) note, what on earth is that GS3 in the picture? It not only has on-screen navigation buttons, but they're stylized to imitate pre-ICS usage. Very, very odd image.

I have a friend who lucked out and his phone number is :
444-KYLE and his first name is Kyle haha. The first 3 numbers are obviously not 444 but I didn't want to risk giving out his number.

I'll save $36 dollars a year by simply scrolling through my contact list or dialing their number manually. Sprint is pretty much ripping me off with their whacky service, so I don't want to give them more of my money. Lol.
