Call me, maybe?

In the hit song taking the country by storm, pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, sings, “Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. But here's my number, so call me, maybe?” Imagine if instead of handing out her 10 hard-to-remember digits, she could just say, call **Carly.  Beginning today, that’s reality as we become the first U.S. mobile carrier to offer an innovative new service called StarStar Me (**Me) that lets our customers and employees use a name they choose in place of their mobile telephone number. For example, you can give people your own memorable mobile number like **SARAH (**72724) or **CHLOE (**24563). StarStar Me allows you to choose a name, nickname or unique word in place of your mobile phone number – so people can call you on your mobile phone by simply tapping the star key twice on the phone’s keypad, followed by the name, nickname, or  unique word you chose, using keypad letters or characters. To sign up for StarStar Me, beginning today, you can call **ME (**63) on your mobile phone or visit http://sprint.starstar.me. You can have two StarStar Me numbers per mobile phone device. The service costs $2.99/month per StarStar Me number. Calls may be made to StarStar numbers within the U.S. from any Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T mobile phone. In addition, you can download a free StarStar Me app, available now on Android-powered smartphones and soon on the iPhone, that lets you easily manage incoming calls, automatically send a text message to callers when you’re busy, or send callers your contact info, which they can easily add to their address book. You also can block specific callers, view a call log and manage multiple StarStar numbers. The app can be downloaded from Google Play (Android) and will soon be available in the Apple App Store (iPhone). Be sure to act fast to get that StarStar name you want, because we only have the exclusive from other carriers for a time, and even other Sprint customers or employees with your name may beat you to the punch.
