Sprint introduces virtual kiosk for handset test drive (USA)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: A new feature for the customers and for the website has been launched by telecom operator Sprint through which new phones can be virtually tested by the users before taking the plunge and signing a two-year commitment.

The new customer service is expected to work for the telco which is otherwise not very famous for its extra ordinary services for its customers. San Mateo, California-based Device Anywhere has provided the service and it is also known for providing online simulators to developers looking for a way to test applications.

Sprint’s web site carries the sales tool where people can test drive real features on the phone, unlike the fake prototypes often found in kiosks or even stores. Apart from helping in the sale of the phones, the software offers two other features- it can also be used to help a person learn how to use a device through step-by-step tutorials at http://www.sprint.com/learn and demonstrate 34 different mobile devices available.
