Greetings from Sprint Relay!

Hello! ... Hello! from Sprint Relay.

I would like to recap our progress during 2007. It was a wonderful year for us.

First, we unveiled our new Sprint Relay logo. This reflects our commitment to the community.

We partnered on the "WRONG GAME" movie which has had a tremendous impact and great reactions from across the U.S. Crowds have been pouring into the movie to enjoy it. Be sure to catch it, too.

We also sponsored the website DEAFREAD.COM, which has been very popular. We are proud to be part of this effort.

These are not the only projects in which Sprint Relay has been engaged, as we support many, many different organizations across the country. We are extremely proud to be part of the community.

Last summer, we unveiled our new Sprint Video Relay Service and we received a lot of positive comments from all of you. Thank you!

711.tv is also new, making it easier for anyone to dial from any videophone.

Also, a new program you can download on your computer can be found at SPRINTVRS.COM. Now you can call VRS from anywhere you take a laptop and a webcam.

More good news! We just launched the Sprint Relay Online Store which gives you the convenience in shopping - it allows you to view information on any pager you want, place your order online, and even get it before the holidays arrive! Cool!

2007 has been a really amazing year for us at Sprint Relay. On behalf of everyone at Sprint Relay, Happy Holidays!
