It's Official from Sprint - Free Conditional Call Forwarding!

I received word a few days ago from Crackberry.com and BerryReview.com posts that Sprint would soon be unveiling a free conditional call forwarding service around the 12th of this month. Boy, were they right.
I called Sprint to ask the question of whether or not free conditional call forwarding had been enabled. The CSR responded that it it indeed is free. Keep in mind that "free" applies to conditional call forwarding.
Conditional call forwarding would be dialing *28<10-digit phone # to forward to here>. What this conditional call forwarding would be useful for is forwarding to a 3rd-party phone service such as Google voice or YouMail. Normally, you'd be getting charged 20 or 40 cents/min to use this feature - so if somebody was leaving a long voicemail, you're pockets would be drained by the time they hung up the phone.
If you're a Sprint customer and are a little skeptical of this deal, call them to confirm it with a CSR like I did. If you're not a Sprint customer, sorry...

Be sure to sign up through Sprint's Referral Program!

What is Sprint Doing???

Sprint is more or less GIVING away service. A month or so ago, Sprint let me know that anybody with a Family Everything Data plan (a cheap plan if you get a few family members to buddy-up and join with you), can call over 250 MILLION mobile phone users without using a Single minute - EVER. This feature is known as the Any Mobile, Anytime Feature. If your contract is near end - I believe now is the time to Move to Sprint.

These bold moves just show that Sprint is doing anything to keep their current customers happy while, at the same time, encouraging people to sign up; Everybody wins. Other mobile carriers let you add 5 or 10, or whatever amount of friends that you can call anytime, without using any minutes. This feature is pretty much a crawling offer while Sprint is just SPRINTING the hell out of being an unpopular carrier and becoming the best in history. So would you like to call 5 people for free, or 250 million?

Another thing that Sprint has just announced is that they're going to offer Free Call Forwarding! WTF? Other carriers charge between 20 and 40 cents per FORWARD - Sick! This Call Forwarding feature will take place this mid-month.

Why am I kissing Sprint's Ass? Because they're kissing everybody else's and treating us well. I get no benefit from this. If you have another carrier, It won't cost me anything to call your mobile phone, it will cost you. I don't have a calling circle, I have the entire country to call for free. I want to see people save money and this is the best deal I've seen in modern technological history.
