By Contributor Wireless and Mobile News on September 18, 2008 1:22 PM

Srint Nextel now has an online self-service tool that allows consumer customers to analyze their wireless usageto determine if their current plan is the right "fit."

The Sprint Plan Optimizer, available at www.sprint.com/planfit, gives customers a view of their historical cost and usage trends.

After viewing a month-to-month analysis of usage and costs, customers can opt to "Analyze My Plan." If Sprint Plan Optimizer finds a better plan to fit the customer's usage pattern, a plan change is suggested. Customers may then complete any desired plan changes directly online.

Features of the Sprint Plan Optimizer include:

Ability to change the billing-history range
Average monthly usage patterns for voice minutes, text messaging, data, etc.
Detailed current plan information
Breakout of monthly costs
Links to view monthly invoices
Average overage charges if applicable
Top two plan recommendations and side-by-side comparisons with current plan

The tool analyzes most types of usage, including Anytime Minutes, web and data, Nextel Direct Connect(R), text messaging, etc. Currently, all consumer customers can view up to five months of usage history; eventually they will be able to view up to 12 months of usage history.
