Gustav Reminders from Sprint

Customers can take proactive steps before the storm hits. Sprint offers the following consumer tips to prepare:

• Keep your wireless phone and backup batteries charged, but be aware that an interruption of wireline and commercial power could affect wireless calls.
• If possible, get extra batteries and charge them.
• In times of commercial power outages, a car adapter for your wireless phone should enable you to recharge the battery.
• Keep phones and necessary accessories in a sealed plastic bag to avoid water damage.
• Load family and emergency numbers into your wireless phone.
• Wireless networks sometimes experience heavy traffic during emergency events, so remember to use Nextel Direct Connet or send a text message.
