You can pay some very hefty prices for a sprint cell phone - it certainly pays to shop around. It should always be on a web shopper's list to check ebay - not only will you save money on used sprint cell phones, but the selection and availability is often the best on the web. Used sprint cell phones are cheap and plentiful on ebay, and you can safely purchase and save an incredible amount of money.

Thanks to ebay, there's really no need to buy insurance for many cell phones these days. A lot of cell phone owners don't realize that most cell phone insurance policies have a large deductible. Why pay that if you can go to ebay and buy a really nice replacement sprint cell phone, often for less than the deductible on your insurance policy!

Why mess around with a lesser model, or fewer features, when you can buy a used sprint cell phone that it often in basically brand-new condition for way less that a new phone? And you won't have to sign up for another one or two year contract just to get a better price on the phone. Buying through ebay is very safe these days - check the seller's feedback ratings, experience, etc. before you buy, and you'll have virtually no risk.

Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE: S) is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. With 55 million subscribers, Sprint Nextel operates the third largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States (based on total wireless customers), behind Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Sprint is a global Tier 1 Internet carrier, and, as such, makes up a portion of the Internet backbone. In the United States, the company also operates the second largest wireless broadband network and is the third largest long distance provider.

The company was created in 2005 by the $35 billion purchase of NEXTEL Communications by Sprint Corporation. In 2006, the company spun off its local landline telephone business, naming it Embarq and also completed the $6.5 billion acquisition of Nextel Partners, one of its largest affiliates, which primarily provides Nextel wireless services to more rural markets.

Sprint Nextel has its executive headquarters in Reston, Virginia and maintains an operational and engineering headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas (where the largest number of Sprint Nextel employees are based). Both internally and externally, "Sprint" is an acceptable short name for the company; however, all "walkie-talkie" phones currently being shipped are still branded with the Nextel logo and graphics.
