OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprint (NYSE: S) is expanding its Direct 2 You service to all well-qualified consumers in Kansas City, Miami and Chicago beginning June 1. The unprecedented service brings an in-store experience directly to customers whenever and wherever they want – for free.¹  Originally available to existing Sprint customers seeking an upgrade, Sprint will now offer Direct 2 You to all consumers in these three markets who want to switch to Sprint.

The service will continue to roll out to more markets across the country throughout 2015, including New York City, San Francisco and Denver in early June.

"Customers have told us that they want to be served in the comfort of their own homes or at a location convenient for them," said Rod Millar, vice president, Sprint. "Sprint Direct 2 You Xperts have a passion for people and technology, and our customers appreciate the extra attention. Some customers have even had us meet them in restaurants and hotel lobbies."

For the Direct 2 You experience, a customer schedules an appointment by calling an 800 number, which can be found at www.sprint.com/direct2you. At the appointed time, an Xpert meets the customer at his or her convenience, sets up the new phone and transfers all content, including contacts, pictures, games and apps. The Xperience also includes personalized training and tips to help the customer become more familiar with using their new mobile device.
