Updated January 7, 2016 Sprint will drop service to Postal Service smartphones Feb. 28.
Employees with USPS-issued Sprint phones must switch to another approved carrier — such as AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile — before service is cut.
The process for switching is now underway. Information and instructions can be found online.
Users are advised to choose new carriers based on the best available coverage. The user may choose any of the smartphones listed for the specific carrier. Color choice will be based on the carrier’s device availability.
Once choices are made, users won’t be eligible to make other changes for 18 months.
New smartphones must be activated within 3 business days of receipt.
Employees that already have USPS-issued AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile phones must wait until after March 1 to request upgrades or carrier changes.

I work in IT Mobile Computing. Please remove the following statement from this article:
” Employees with immediate concerns should send an email to ITMobileComputing@usps.gov.”
Does that mean we won’t get the 25% discount or is that just for Employees issued smartphones through the Post Office?
Sprint has not notified me that they are discontinuing the iPhone plan I’ve had with them. I hope and believe the issue is only with people that are given smartphones by management.
